You follow the soldiers as they lead the way to the Crimson Castle. You feel Weiss take a hold of your hand and the two of you look into each other's eyes, not saying anything but conveying a message. "It's okay as long as we're together." Your group reaches the castle as a small figure in royal garb walks up with tons of fanfare.

Your Thoughts: That's the Red King?

Vice: He's shorter than I expected.

Ruby: You're the Red King?

The figure scoffs.

??? ??????: How dare you! There is no King! I'm the Red Prince! Who do you think you are coming to someone's castle without knowing who they are? And on my birthday.

Soldiers: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOUR MAJESTY!

Red Prince: Yes yes. A joyous occasion. Thank you very much.

Blake whispers to Ruby and you catch what she says.

Blake: Red Prince?

Yang: The king was never this rude, or small, or loud...

Soldier 2: Well if it wasn't for your kind, the King would still be here.

Ruby bows to the prince.

Ruby: Happy birthday, your majesty.

Little: Happy birthday!

Weiss: Happy birthday...

Blake: Umm... Happy birthday.

Yang: Happy birthday, I guess...

Y/N: Happy birthday, your highness.

Vice: Happy birthday!

The prince gasps and climbs a soldier.

Red Prince: How do you know such privileged information! You must be infiltrators! Here for my crown!

Y/N: Um... Your highness... You just told us it's your birthday.

Weiss: And you've advertised it... Everywhere...

Red Prince: Silence! You are in the presence of royalty!

A guard kisses his hand.

Red Prince: That's me. Thank you. The heir to the Crimson Castle!

Weiss whispers to Blake: Did I used to be that unbearably pompous?

One of the soldiers shoves Blake and Weiss aside and you catch your girlfriend with one arm and grab Blake with the other.

Y/N: Hey!

Soldier 1: Your Majesty. We brought you a gift we found.

Yang: That's not-

The second soldier elbows her.

Soldier 2: Yes! All us.

The first soldier unwraps Penny's sword and the Prince's face sours.

Red Prince: Why. Is. It. GREEN?!

He kicks the sword over the hedge and you growl through grit teeth.

Soldier 2: Forgive us, your highness! We didn't know it was green!

Soldier 1: Please forgive us!

Red Prince: Take them away.

Guards grab the soldiers and drag them behind the hedge.

Soldier 2: Wait! Please! They gave it to us!

Soldier 1: Please have mercy!

Once they're behind the hedge, you hear the sound of an axe coming down and wince.
