The Prince and his Guard

His Bakshal wish

After many hours of Emil kissing and blessing the trouts he was finally done and the King gave him his handkerchief so he could clean his mouth.
'He is definitely going to want to clean his mouth more throughly once he is able to.'
"There, I've blessed every trout in the kingdom. Now, I can go and celebrate with...." Emil excitedly told as he stood up and looked towards the crowd to see no one left. "no one. Everyone has left."
"Children!" Our father exclaimed making my older and younger siblings wake up
"Is he done kissing fish?" Alexander asked once they were startled awake.
"Watching that was very boring." Tatiana quietly stated.
"We have to go back to our duties now." He told making them leave as I stayed in place.
I watched as Emil made his way down a few of the stairs looking disappointed at the results of his birthday.
"Is something troubling you, my son?" The King asked as he followed after him.
I made my way off to the side making sure to keep my distance as to give them privacy, though that didn't fully work with how loud they were talking.
"I was really hoping to mingle with the citizens, and perhaps making a friend, but instead I've spent all day kissing fish. Yesterday I spent all day presiding over the 'Prettiest Moose' contest. I do not even know what makes a moose pretty!" He explained.
"A wet snout and a firm rump, of course!"
"Great. Got that completely backwards. Should have listened to Anna more for that one." He told making me clear my throat as he made his way off the stairs. "I mean Anastasia."
Once they were both off the stairs, I moved my spot to be at the bottom of the stairs as well but stood near the side furthest from them so they had space still.
"I know it has been a busy week, my son. But there is one tradition that I am sure you will enjoy."
'Maybe I should have waited for Emil inside the palace. Feels strange to be here a bit.'
"My Bakshal wish. Is it true I can wish for whatever my heart desires?"
"It is, my son."
"I already know my wish. I want to travel to America for a year to make a best friend. Just like my hero's Stank Man & Daryl." He told making me face palm as he grabbed his phone from his pocket to show his father. "Look."
'How did I end up working this position? Maybe it is because no one but me can keep track of him.... then again I do lose him sometimes. Strange position we are in sometimes.'
I looked towards them and saw Emil was laughing at the video he had picked as his father looked rather disgusted look.
"Turkey tap? I have started wars for less!" He exclaimed walking away making Emil rush after him.
'I truely hope I don't need to run for this, because he can run fast when he chooses to.'
"Father, won't you please consider...." he began only to get cut off by his father turning back around to look at him.
"Won't? Won't. Son, I did not provide you with the finest the finest tutors in the world so you can use contractions like a sailor."
'This is why my father, and the king are good friends..... and surprisingly Joosep as well somehow. Language is the most peculiar thing.'
"Look. There is no way I will let the heir to the throne leave the safety of Buronia! You would be the target of every bounty hunter in search of a hefty ransom."
"It will not be a problem, father. I will assume a false identity so I can blend in as an ordinary teenager." He told as he got excited again. "Perhaps I could even wear T-shirts with trendy slogans like... 'Hater gonna hate.' Or 'Bye, Felicia.'."
"Every fiver of my being tells me this is a terrible idea." He told making Emil give his puppy dog eyes towards him. "But, unfortunately, The Royal Charter stated that a Bakshal wish must be granted."
"Thank you, Father!"
"We shall begin the search for a suitably noble host family at once." The King told before walking off towards the stairs only for Emil to rush and make him stop his movements.
"That will not be necessary. I have already found the perfect host family. Not only do they live in the same town as Stank Man & Daryl, but their home is attached to a bowling alley. How delightful is that?" He asked
"Yes." He told as his face morphed into one of worry for his son and he sounded like he didn't truely mean it.
The king left making Emil rush over to me and I could tell he was extremely happy from this news.
"Can you believe this Anna?! I will be going to America for a year."
"I can not believe it even though I witnessed it all happen."
"This year will be amazing."
"I'm sure it will be for you Emil." I told making Emil's smile fell like I just told him some upsetting news.
"Why do you sound upset about this?"
"I am not. I am happy that you will achieve your dream of being an ordinary boy for a year and make as you have said, 'A Daryl to my Stank Man'."
"Do not worry I will not be replacing you."
"I never was thinking you were replacing me, Emil. Where did you get that stupid idea from?"
"From the fact I will be making a best friend."
"And?"
"And we are best friends."
"Emil I will be honest with you. I am utterly confused at what you are saying."
"I'm saying your my best friend Anna, but I will also be making a best friend in America."
"Because I'm your best female friend and you would like a best guy friend?"
"Exactly!"
"Emil, you are peculiar in every way. Now shall we wash your mouth out and your lips from all the first kisses you had with all those trouts?" I asked making him pull a shock look as I began to make my way inside having him rush after me.
"Anna those do not count!"
"What ever you say, your highness."
'What am I going to do for a year once he leaves?'
