Spirit Animal Ficlets

A King's Folly 5

((Nothing but drama this time))

Everyone in the castle knew when Shane was thinking about something that kept messing with him, he worked out.
When someone saw the king with his shirt on, they could tell it was made to fit a much smaller person. His poor shirt strained at every movement, the sleeves struggled to hold themselves, the shoulders were ready to rip open, the front of his shirt was going to give way at any second.
When he worked out, he was shirtless. His body was slick with sweat and he was well toned out as he patted a towel over his neck. The door opened and shut itself, Shane turned around and saw Conor. The plush male was blushing bright red and staring at Shane with wide green eyes. The king raised and eyebrow "Conor? You okay?" He asked.
Conor blinked, getting out of his staring trance and looking down to the floor "Last night, I'm sorry for falling asleep I get tired after eating sometimes," he apologized.
Shane blushed as a memory came back "It's fine Conor," he replied.
The euran nodded "Alright," he said which sounded doubtful.

Shane met up with Min-ri during lunch, she was the chef that had been making all the sweets "Hello Master Shane," she greeted.
He smiled at her "Hello Min-ri, how has things been doing in the kitchen?" He asked.
The chef girl looked slightly upset "A servant girl has been saying things about Mr. Conor," she replied.
Shane's brow furrowed "What kind of things?" He asked.
She nodded "Saying rude things whenever he leaves the kitchen, calls him a fat pig," the girl informed.
Shane straightened up "What's this girl's name?" He said.
Min-ri shook her head "I'll get in trouble with the other girls if I tell you," she warned.
Shane sighed "Alright, thank you Min," he said.
Just as he was going to leave Min-ri grabbed his wrist "What would you like me to make for tonight?" She asked.
Shane relaxed slightly "Sugar cookies, the good ones you make," he replied and left.

He shoved into the servant's room. His hair was a mess and he wore a servant uniform. Birds streaked past over head as they hung clothing on lines. A dog barrled past his legs as a monkey unclipped dry clothes off limes and into a basket carried on the dog's back. Shane stumbled for a moment until he found where the servants were, they chatted with each other as they washed clothes, handed off to birds, or were folding clothes.
Shane picked up some of his own clothes that weren't folded. A few girls were helping fold "Can you believe that? Betcha he took it to his room himself," one said.
Another scoffed "Nope, I saw the king leaving that little pig's room," she said.
Shane looked up "What are you talking about?" He asked in a soft warm voice.
The first girl had curly blond hair "You haven't heard about the accident with the king last night?" She said.
Shane nodded. Another with dusty brown straight hair looked at the clothes she was folding "A few of us saw the king run to his room in a hurry after leaving his piglet's room, guess piggy wasn't to the King's liking," she snorted. The two girls laughed.
Shane glared at them "I wouldn't talk about Conor like that, you never know who could be listening," he said in a low voice.
The girls looked at him. The brunette frowned "Who's gonna tell? You think anyone will believe you?" She stated.
Shane sighed and straightened up "I don't know, let's ask the crocodile," he said. The king undid a few button on his shirt and summoned Grahv, the saltwater crocodile hissed as he laid on the table.
The girls and everyone stared at him, Shane ran a hand through his hair to fix it "Anyway, I think you two are getting wonderful news, you're fired," he stated.
The two girls were in shock which Shane smiled charmingly "You are no longer citizens or workers within my kingdom and as per your treason to my throne and disrespecting my personal servant and myself I want your spirit animals excuted," he added.
Two guards grabbed the girls. The blonde looked shocked "My king it was a mi-" her guard covered her mouth. Their spirit animals arrived to protect them but as they approached a tiger snatched the blonde's bird from the air instantly bteaking it's neck with its teeth. The brunette's lizard scampered around a hyena but caught and crushed it. Shane called the crocodile back into passive state. The two girls stared at their dead spirit animals as they were taken away.
Shane sighed as he sighed and looked at the crowd of horrified servants "If I hear anyone disrespecting me or Conor again I will personally make sure you are removed from steriol and have your spirit animal killed by either myself, a guard, or if I deem so, by you," he warned and left.
