M'lord

Ch.10 A new position

They were....

Red son.

Mk was panicking, he just fought the prince of his country.

" Wha-...PEASANT! GET UP! WE'RE STILL FIGHTING!" the prince screamed. Charging up a fire blast, upset at Mk. Mk didn't get up, he was screaming at himself. He hit the prince with a sand hurricane! Red stomped forward, he kicked Mk. " I said get up! Hit me, I allow you to! This battle was not finished!" The prince yelled, veins appearing from anger.

" I will not harm the prince any further.." Mk said, still bowing. Red Son growled, about to argue again.

" ENOUGH!" a big, booming voice went. Mk gulped, knowing it was the king. The Demon Bull King. The audience was silent, Mk could feel the stares. His dared glance at where he knew his loved ones were. He deeply regretted it. Seeing the shock and horror in his father's eyes. The anger in Pigsy's. Mei just looked concerned, as if she was about to jump in. Mk had to mouth ' Don't' just for a extra measure. "I HAVE DECIDED." he looked at Mk. His look stern, and powerful. "You.what is it you wanted?" He asked, his voice booming.

" to become a knight, your highness." Silence, it was deafening. Then the king spoke again.

"You shall get your wish." The king said, looking straight at Mk. He climbed down, as Mk stared in shock. He could become a knight. "But, only if you become my son's personal one. Until we decide you can become an official." The king explained, looking deep within Mk.

" Really? Yes! Thank you!" Mk said, eyes sparkling.

"You can thank me by making sure no harm comes to my son." Mk nodded, looking at the prince.

" What! Father I do not need a bodyguard! I was winning!" Red son complained.

"Lies. It was clear the monkey boy was going to win." A women's voice came, a beautiful black haired lady walked over. Jewels were everywhere, a big fan strapped to her hip. The queen, PIF. Mk bowed his head lower,

" thank  you, m'lady." Princess iron fan only nodded, grabbing her son.

" Husband dear. You must make him offical." The queen reminded. The king nodded, grabbing his own sword. He hovered it on each shoulder, a Crest of magic appearing. The Crest contained a very bright light, that almost blinded them at first. Immediately, it went back. And took the form of a tattoo on Mk's chest.

" That symbol shows you as a knight of this kingdom. If you betray us, you will die by that mark." The queen told him, Mk nodded. He knew, but he still wanted the job. Mk jumped a bit when everyone cheered, Mk couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. Mk looked and saw his father, Pigsy. His look terrified Mk. " Since you already got your wanted position, and Red Son wasn't SUPPOSED to fight, the tiger wins." The queen said. Helping the new knight up. The king nodded, " then the tournament is over, please, everyone cheer for Orange Tiger." The audience started clapping and cheering as Orange was pushed next to Mk.

" What if your desired position?" DBK looked stright as Orange. He smirked,

" I'd like to be your royal chef!" His tail started twitching in excitement. DBK nodded,

" So be it. Hopefully, you can live up to that title." Dbk made a signal that the royals were leaving. Mk immediately got into professional mode. He looked at Red Son, he noticed. Giving Mk a disgusted look, sneering before giving a tsk and walking away. Mk followed, arms behind his back. Once they got outside Mk was grabbed, he turned around quickly, hitting the arm. He regretted it, seeing as it was his father.

" Jeez, you did get strong.." His father, Pigsy, said. Mk only nodded, looking away. It was silent, and Mk could see the royal family was waiting. "  ....be safe." Was all he said before turning around and walking away. It hurt, mentally, to see his father walking away. It felt like he had just chosen a side, his father or the royal family. Sighing, Mk turned around. Returning to Ted Son's side, much to his discomfort. Mk walked absentmindedly, only half alive to not bump into anything. He got his wish, why did his father have to make him regret it?
