War For The Throne

Goodbye King, Hello Overlord: Part 3

3rd person POV:

The three children of the late king were left alone in a room to get to know one another better as Joker was surrounded by his fellow Major Arcana who were looking for answers.

Zeus: What the eff, man! Why did you keep this a secret from us?

Joker: Order from the late king. I apologize.

Belle: You're not sorry at all are you?

Joker:(chuckles) No, you're reactions were priceless. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

Belle: Tch... You would.

Amora: Well spill the beans, who's the mother? How did it happen?

Joker: The mother is Lisa Summer.

All the arcana recognized that name and had different reactions to it. The only thing that their reactions had in common was that they were all negative in some way.

Geck: Out of every woman, it had to be her.

Joker: To be fair to the late king, he had just seen his wife go into a coma. He was quite vulnerable.

Joker: After their little affair, the King cut ties with the manipulator.

Joker: He only found out about my lord when he was already born.

Opheon: Why did he keep it a secret?

Joker: They had a deal. She would keep him from the A.A.R if he keept this away from you all.

Lucy: Clever whore... She knew we would have made her death look like an accident.

Joker: Exactly why he swore that as long as he lived, this would be a secret from him.

Morana: So when he died, the deal had reached its end in your eyes.

Joker:(smiles)

Crow: Did you make that crown and bring the young prince into this because that's what the king wanted or because you didn't like the other two?

Joker:(shrugs)

Joker: Maybe it's both?

Crow: Tch.

Jolyne: How do we know that the A.A.R hasn't gotten to him.

Joker: Oh...come on now. Give the manipulator some credit. She is a woman of her word.

Lunar: What's done is done... The only question is where do we go from here?

Joker: It's obvious. You all now have a third option you must explore, and lost time you need to make up for.

Joker: So after the siblings have some bonding time, my lord and I will await your visits.

Dianna: Will you not try to steal the throne from me?

Dianna/Charles:...
