Featuring King Jack, looking for slave Rhys (Since who I originally wrote this for never replied, might as well not let this go to waste. Don’t bother replying if you can’t match length.)
The country of Pandora was a vast empire ruled by the Hyperion empire by King Jack. The country is widely diverse but a large portion of it is plagued by rouges and bandits, leaving many middle and lower class people at the mercy of the criminals while the wealthy lived in the town of Helios where there were many guards as it was the capitol and where the king’s castle resided. It was a beautiful town with some of the best artisans having designed the architecture. The castle has been at it’s center for a hundred years, but when Jack took the throne he used his wealth to make some improvements and to show off he lived in the most luxurious place.
His first queen had passed away years ago after giving birth a daughter he named Angel. Jack had remarried some years later to Duchess Moxxie to form an alliance, but shortly after the wedding it was clear that the king and his new queen hated each other. They were always at odds with each other and an argument ensured whenever the two of them were involved in making decisions. The years went by and they made things work, mostly, with their purely political relationship. Moxxie had her haram to keep her company and Jack kept himself busy overseeing his army of knights for war against the criminals that ran wild just outside of Helios.
Even with all the distractions and money he could want, Jack still had this nagging empty feeling in his chest. It bothered him and led the king to become irritated and in his frustrations the default emotion was anger. Because of this many thought the king harsh and violent at times, one who knew this wasn’t true was princess Angel who saw how hard he worked trying to make her happy. He had even went on a quest with his most loyal knights to find her a unicorn with a diamond horn, though she being just a child at that time gave the pony unicorn the most silly name she could think of: Buttstalion. The unicorn being the most prized possession it was always guarded and Angel always had an entourage of knights to protect her while out riding.
Boredom ensued now adays when the kingdom was mostly at piece. Bandits had all either been captured or left the country so that left the king with no purpose for his army he had built up. A visit to the prison was some entertainment to Jack. He had the lead guard show him the new prisoners.
“Bandit? Hang him. Thief, third time caught? Cut a hand off, obviously hasn’t learned from the last two lashings... This one did what to a sheep?! God- ew! Castrate him and send the sheep to the castle barn, that poor animal needs a vacation and therapy.” King jack said as he stopped at the cells and gave each prisoner a punishment when informed of their crimes. He then stopped at a cell and looked confused at the young man sitting on the dirty floor. “The heck this guy do?”
The knight stopped and looked into the cell having completely forgot about this one. “This is Rhys we arrested this morning, he stole bread from the bakery that provides for the palace.” The knight answered.
Jack scoffed and gestured to the prisoner. “Well of course he did, the guy is a freaking stick! Looks like he hasn’t eaten for a week. Send him to the castle, I could use another slave to boss around... After I have him get cleaned up and given a meal.” He added with a look back in Rhys’ direction before leaving to head back to the castle.
