"Anne and [Y/n] meet with King Andrias and try to enlist his help in getting back home."

--------------------------------------

Finally, after all this time, you have not only arrived in Newtopia, but entered the castle to meet the King of Amphibia himself! And heck, you were excited and nervous at the same time! Because, damn it, kings are usually serious monarchs. You must observe etiquette, call them "Your Majesty," in other matters, behave politely and cultured. And you were far from it. No, you knew a couple of rules of etiquette, you can be polite, but that's all you know. You are usually at a loss as to what to say or do next. You might even start to stutter... you were just hoping that Marcy would somehow smooth things over.

— Dang, girl! This is where you've been hanging out this whole time?

— I wouldn't say I "hang out" here, but... YES! Staying at the castle has been awesome!

— Wow, I can't believe we're here!

— And that we're about to meet the King of Amphibia!

— Wow, just look at this place... am I dressed okay? Should I have worn my silk ascot? I-- I'll come back and get it! — Hopediah was about to run back out into the street, but Wu stopped him.

— Hey, hey, don't stress guys. This is no big deal.

And suddenly the doors, presumably to the throne room, opened, and Lady Olivia appeared there — the one who met you on the street to check if the mission with those ants was successful. And she looked... serious.

— Okay, frog family. You're about to meet King Andrias. THIS is a BIG deal.

You all (except Marcy) gulped in fear. Great, now you're even more worried, and you don't know whose words to believe now.

But nevermind that, you walked into the throne room, and Jesus Christ, that room was beautiful! You liked the interior in the form of corals and shells, and everything seemed to glow. You looked at all this as you walked closer to the center of the room.

— May I present to you Andrias Leviathan, Lord of Amphibia. Peacekeeper of a thousand years and the first of his name.

You all looked at the throne and--

— Now that's king-sized.

This guy-- this guy-- this guy was big! Huge! The damn giant compared to everyone else! He literally towered over all of you. Due to the light that was behind him, his body was covered in shadow, so it was hard to see him. Although, you noticed that he looked-- serious. But then--

— HELLOOO, PLANTAR FAMILY, HA-HA-HA-HA! — this guy just literally screamed and laughed really loud! — Oh, bring it in, you guys, bring it in!

And you could see him better. It was a light blue newt, with white hair and a beard, and pale yellow eyes. His clothes and armor were in shades of brown and purple. He also had a scar on his chest plate in the form of a cross. Well, he also had a crown, of course, he is a king, after all. Andrias got up from his throne and began to descend the stairs towards you.

Quick, kids, bow! — Hop Pop whispered to his grandchildren. When they did that, this guy Andrias suddenly grabs them and... hugs them. HUGS THEM, DAMN IT!

— It's SO good to finally meet you! — and he lets them go. The frogs are clearly in shock.

— I LOVE this guy!

Andrias started laughing out loud again until Olivia walked up to him, interrupting the whole thing, so to speak.

— Dear King Andrias, just once, it would be nice if you followed proper castle etiquette.
