Theo woke up with a voice calling him behind the door. His eyes are a little tired but had to get up from the bed and meet whoever the person behind the door was.

Grabbing his coat and heading in front of the door, he reached for the knob and slowly opened the door meeting his personal royal guard, Jeremy saluting in front of him.

"Good morning, sir," he greeted formally.

"Good morning," Theo responded. "What do I owe this early visit?"

"Sir, if I may recall, you have a meeting with the Prime Minister, sir."

"Oh... I totally forgot about that. Sure, I'll get dressed. Thank you for reminding me, sir."

RG Jeremy nodded.

Theo turned his back on Jeremy while the royal guard closed the door Theo forgot about to do. Theo quickly turns around to notice that. He shrugged off and headed inside the bathroom so he could prepare early.

He walked inside the bathroom and quickly take a shower, after a few minutes he picked some formal clothes to wear. He picked the simplest white long sleeves paired with a black coat and slack. He picked up the single-tone black necktie and stood in front of the mirror so he could watch himself tie it up, but Theo seemed to be having a hard time tying it all up.

So he called his personal royal guard. Jeremy didn't hesitate and immediately entered the room when he heard the king's order.

"Do you need anything, sir?" RG Jeremy asked. "How can I help?"

"Do you know how to tie a tie?"

RG Jeremy was unsure of the question, but keep his reaction steady and nodded as his response. "Yes, young sir."

"Would you please help me out here? I kind of fucking it up."

RG Jeremy made a soft chuckle and agreed to the king's order. He walked in his direction and Theo face him and put his chin a little up so he could make a little space fixing his tie-up.

"Sorry for the trouble," Theo said as soon as Jeremey laid a hand on his necktie.

"Not a problem, young sir," he said. It was just a few seconds, it was already done. "Looks good on you, my king." he complimented.

"Really?" Theo wondered, turning his back on Jeremy to look himself in the mirror finding out how neat the tie was made. "Thanks, sir. I was really stressing this one out. Just the basic thing to do, I still messed it up."

"You're good, young sir. There's nothing to worry about," he said. "And I know you'll do great... and Uhm... I do apologize for speaking to you like this. I shouldn't be."

Theo chuckled, shaking his head. "It's okay, no one's watching. No need to be so formal. Glad you're there and helped me in this small crisis I called. So, shall we go now?"
