King Ren doesn't have a personal knight. At least that's what everyone thinks. He has Bdubs as Royal Advisor, but the short, moss covered man hardly passes as a threat and isn't really around that much, unless needed. The person who is always at the king's side is the court jester. A silly blond man who Ren affectionately calls his Hand, always joking and dancing around, who sits on the king's lap during meetings, who walks side by side throughout the corridors.
(Many people believe they are in some sort relationship, whatever that might be)
One day, some resistance members sneak in with the intent to assassinate the king. Instead, they're met with the jester, who is holding a very large battle axe.
Martyn's always considered himself a funny guy. He's good at it! He's honed his humour well, and he enjoys making others laugh.
But, he's honed over things too. Ren is shockingly good at making enemies, though Martyn doesn't know how (rose coloured glasses and all) but it means he needs to keep the guy safe.
And, man. He loves that job too. Hands are useful in a lot of ways, what can he say!
