"Thank you for attending my show!" You bowed to your audience, after getting up from your piano stool after a performance. Everyone in the auditorium gave a round of applause, some even threw flowers upon your stage, and cheered at your marvelous performance.

You were a pianist, a solo musician at most, but not as popular as the other bands, you appealed more to the older kind, the 'parents' of your peers in battle, as well as the classy and refined individuals who stood out like rare specimens in the crowd of the radical and childish cephalopods. 

A certain someone there was clapping too, someone you wouldn't expect to be impressed, or even amused at a pianist. It was the King himself; Emperor Houzuki. He sat in a seat seperated from everyone else, alongside the cool female knight N-Pacer, the son of a star player Eging/Squidkid-Jr and Emperor's younger brother Prinz/Prince.

"How... amusing." Emperor chuckled to himself as he sat crossleggedly on his 'throne' while everyone applauded at your performance, his eyes were also locked on you. You must've done something great for this to happen, obviously it was because of the show you just made, but was it THAT great?

Everyone soon left the venue, and he came down last, with his teammates at his sides and behind him. He approached you, strutting with pride radiating from each step he took (style icon, size zero, and my boots from the Valentino-).

"I applaud you, commoner. You have entertained the King." He arrogantly commented,  putting a hand on his hip as he made some very strong eye-contact with you (Bro is NOT the alpha ‼️‼️😭😭😭). "You are worthy of being my entertainer, commoner." He had a cocky grin on his little face. His face was so punchable, it felt like he was mocking you and praising you simultaneously.

"He's saying your pianist skills are top-tier." N-Pacer stoically chimed in, it was rare of her to speak, but she ended up doing so anyway. This was a sign you've truly interested some people.

"Oh um, thanks I guess." You remained humble. How could he be praising you like this? He was the King, this was an unexpected turn of events, but there was much more to come anyway.

"Come meet me at my palace tomorrow. I expect you to be there at 10AM sharp, but I shouldn't be expecting such things of insignificant little things like you, hm?" He examined you, eyeing you from top to bottom. The dude even scratched his chin (bro is NOT the thinker) as he ogled you.

"She just showed some killa' key-punchin bruh, you ain't gon think good of her?" Eging/Squidkid-Jr raised an eyebrow, side-eying Emperor.

"Well um, I'll see what I can do." You replied to Emperor, doing a little bow to show your respect to the King. 

"Splendid." Emperor chuckled regally. "I expect you to turn up on time, yes? Or I will have your HEAD." He teased sarcastically, you just playfully rolled your eyes and headed backstage. As you headed backstage, you couldn't help but wonder why he chose you out of all the pianists. Specifically why you? You're ordinary, there are a lot of people like you.
