Royal Love (MarkXJack) (P2)

     Down in the village of the kingdom, there was a small house with a family of four, a single father, two sons and an adopted child, the fathers name was Jack, he had a small job working as an entertainer for kids at an orphanage, he did everything he could to take care of his three kids. Jack came home one day to find his second youngest kid, Anti chasing his youngest, Sam, his oldest kid, Henrik was trying to stop Anti but unable to catch him, "Alright!" Jack shouted, everyone stopped and looked at him, he sighed and walked over to Sam and picked him up, holding him in his arms he looked down at Anti, "What happened this time?" he sighed, Anti huffed and crossed his arms, "Sam put glitter on my knife!" he growled, "It was an accident! I was making a card for- a friend," Sam stated, trying not to cry, Jack hugged Sam and patted his back, "Shush shush, did you apologize to Anti?" Sam nodded, Jack looked at Anti and frowned, Anti squinted and frowned, "He said it was an accident, plus you can just clean it, there's no need to fight, okay?" Anti huffed and walked away to his room, Jack looked up at Henrik, "Did everything go okay at work today?" Henrik nodded, "Yes, it waz a bit rough today but it went vell," Jack smiled slightly and sighed, he put Sam down on the couch and walked to the kitchen, he pulled out a coffee maker and made himself some coffee. He leaned on the counter staring out the window, he watched as kids in rags ran around, kicking a makeshift ball, making flower crowns for each other and doing what kids normally do, he smiled as he watched one kid help another kid down from a tree, sighing as he closed his eyes daydreaming about when he was a kid, climbing trees and swinging from them like he was some sort of hero, but soon he was startled from his dream when there was a knock on the door, "Someone's here!" he heard Sam call out and scatter to safety, Jack sighed and put his cup down, he walked to the front door and opened it, there stood a mailman, holding out an letter, Jack raised an eyebrow and took it, "Thank you sir," he said, the mailman nodded and walked off. Jack closed the door and sat down, he unfolded the letter and read it, "What is it?" Anti asked appearing next to him, Jack jumped and looked at him, "Anti! What did I say a bout glitching around?" he snapped, Anti shrugged, "You know if they found out you were a demi-god they'd take you away," Jack sighed, Anti nodded, "I know, I know," he said, "It's not my fault I was born a demi-god and left on the streets of a poor town, just to be found by some mortal," Jack squinted at him and shook his head, "Anyway, it's an invitation, to a ball? Tomorrow night?!" "To a ball?!" Sam echoed, peeking his head out from behind the couch, he jumped out excitedly, "Vhy vould ve be going?" Henrik asked, "I don't know," Jack said, he read it once more, "I guess from what It says here, everyone from the entire kingdom is going," "That's awesome!" Sam said, "Ugh, people, do we really have to go? I mean we don't have anything to wear that's nice!" Anti said crossing his arms, "Vell, I von't be going, I have a dinner date tomorrow, so I can give you some of my money and you guys can go out and look for something nice," Henrik said, Jack smiled and looked at Henrik, "Are you sure?" he asked, Henrik nodded, "Of course!" he said, "Can I stay?" Anti asked, Jack looked at him and shook his head, "What happened to wanting to meet the two gods that lived there?" he said, Anti's eyes widened remembering about them, "Oh! I completely forgot about that!" he said, he jumped up and tugged onto Jack's leg, "Well what are you waiting for you lazy fuck?! Lets go!" Jack shook him off, "We'll go later, I still have one more round of work today, hopefully after that we'll have enough money," he said, Anti flopped onto the ground and pouted, Jack sighed and shook his head. Later that day, Jack came home and Henrik gave him some money, he picked up Sam and Anti and left to go shopping, they went everywhere and couldn't find anything nice, other than some nice looking shirts and pants, Jack sighed and just bought some nice looking shirts, a white one for himself, a black one for Anti and a green one for Sam, then he bought them all black pants, when they went home they tried on their clothes and luckily they all fit. Jack was honestly excited to go to the palace, he's always wanted to meet King Mark, he was so nice and caring, never really pressed charges on anything or anyone, though he wished the village was given a little more care, King Mark did everything he could to help everyone, Jack walked into Sam and Anti's room and tucked them in, kissing them goodnight, then he walked to Henrik's room and said goodnight, he then walked to the couch, grabbing his blankets and pillow, getting comfortable, he daydreamed about tomorrow until he fell asleep.
