Bad manners get you...

Bad manners get you….

The never ending beauty of darkness. Its far more than people give it credit for. It makes things stand out. The moon, the distant forest, the hill with the single windmill on it, the towers surrounding the city, the castle in the middle, the lights shining from inside the houses below, the couple walking down below, only periodically visible in the city lights. Owoo~!

“Adds mystique doesn’t it, Frank.”

With my hand going through my fox’s grey hair I enjoy the sight of the city one more time before I set off for my performance. Knowingly of what is about to happen she rubs her head on my leg. Even though I have ended the career of many counterparts, her touch still eases my nerves. I give her one last pat on the head as I jump off the building. Freefalling I think of what he’d said to me today. ”We don’t appreciate the likes of you in this court. Buzz off Tryggr insect.” Jumping from rooftop to rooftop I thought to myself: ”You’ll hear me buzz alright.”

With a final swing, in a very fabulous fashion might I add, I land on the window ledge. Prying open the lock from the outside and entering the stage. Inside was your average count bedroom, obviously big bed, random crap no-one bats an eye for, some drawers, an ugly painting to boost one’s self esteem about how ‘beautiful’ they are, and of course, the count himself.

“Boy oh boy am I going to have fun with him.” I quietly whisper to myself.

Prepping the stage wasn’t too difficult. I had gotten quite handy in doing everything quietly. A walk in the park they say here. Whoop, rope there, pulley there, noose over here, gag in his mouth and knot on his wrist. Done! Now for the best part. Clap clap

“Hmpf, Hrrmmmmmpf” – he moaned in shock not knowing what was happening.

“Well hello there mister bad manners~! I see you’ve come to like ‘my’ choice of words, to phrase in nicely.” I said with a hint of joy and pleasure whilst slowly making my way back to his bed. “See, you’ve been a very naughty little count, haven’t you? High taxes, for no reason, abusing your title, for no reason, destroying property of those loyal to you, for no reason, and humiliating if not killing anyone not agreeing to your vision or methods, also….” Slowly closing in on his face “for no reason…”

“And although that has nothing to do with me personally, topping that off with your lack of expected hospitality to someone who came here in anticipation of a wondrous agreement of trade and mutual shared interests only to leave me being escorted out by a pair of guards was the straw to break this camel’s back. All because my alliances lie with Tryggr! Really this world is a playground for sinners to play saints. I guess I’d only do the world a favour freeing them of such a pristine example of nobility.”

“HMMMMPPPFFF!!!!”

“Well, although the show was short, I believe you’ll love the ending” That said I released the counterweight to make him fly up high, and end up in a noose for the grand finale. I proceeded to carefully place a chair on the ground next to him for obvious reasons. I came close to his now red head and whispered him one last thing: “My name is Wrrynth Thonos by the way, the name you should’ve asked for this morning….” slightly maniacal laughter

Oh and back in the king’s court I had another fun little chat!

“Wrrynth, that count, was that you again?”

“Was who what, m’lord?”

“You know damn well who I’m talking about!”

“Oh, that lousy good for nothing but himself over the back of his subjects spouting insults like a young girl on her first period count? Well…… All I can say is that he has a lovely face when he realized who I was….” The small silence was broken shortly thereafter by a compliment I can’t hear enough. “You are one creepy diplomat, Wrrynth. Let’s just say that I’m glad we’re on the same side….”

“With every conversation I feel our friendship grow closer and closer, m’lord!”

Quite the introduction. I certainly hope we won't ever end up on opposing sides.

A nice piece, that's exactly why I'd want guards in my rooms at every hour even while I'm signing a child contract with my wife!
