Chapter II

Cas (POV)

It took me until sundown to finish cleaning the whole of the king's compartments; the bedroom, the washroom, the dressing room and the meeting room. By the end of it I was knackered, wanting to just fall down on my bed and sleep. My body stunk of sweat and cleaning fumes and also, working under the circumstances of having to wear literally just a sheet around my hips didn't help the situation. Whenever I had to bend over for something I was always worried that someone would come into the room and see... everything. I picked up the now empty bucket and wet cloth along with a hamper of dirty clothes and shoes that needed scrubbing. I was about to start walking out of the room when the door suddenly burst open and the king came in. He stopped when he saw me and I stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do with myself.

"Can I help you?" The king said, perking an eyebrow at me.

"Err no, I mean err, I was just cleaning your living quarters and I was just about to take these down to the washroom." I stammered out and the king tapped his food impatiently. "I'll go now."

"Yes. That would be best. Also come back up with the others as soon as my son's ball ends." I gulped and nodded my head at the king before walking quickly out of the room. As soon as I was out I let out a huge breath of relief which I didn't know I was holding before I realised that I had left all the stuff back in his room. I let out a groan and looked at the guards on the door who was looking at me expectantly.

"I need to go back in." The guards look at each other before looking back to me and nodding their heads, standing apart from the door slightly to let me in. I walked slowly into the room again and tiptoed into the king's bedroom where he was writing some kind of letter. I coughed to let him know I was here and he turned in his chair looking at me angrily.

"You forget something?" He glances at the mess I left of the floor and I coughed awkwardly before nodding.

"Yes. I'll just..." With that I walked over to the stuff and managed to pick it all up without dropping anything. Before I turned to leave however the king spoke up;

"Next time you will address me as 'Your Majesty' and you will bow to me whenever you see me. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir." He rolls his eyes and mutters something under his breath before giving me a glare. "I mean Your Majesty."

"Good. Now get out." I run out of the room again and straight past the guards who I could hear chuckling from down the hall. I went into the kitchen and just dumped the stuff for the women to find before turning on my heel and going back up the stairs to watch the ball. I did have to wait for it to finish after all. I walked into the ballroom through the side door and looked around to find another group of angels who were serving people. I walked over to them and asked politely if there was anything I could do to help but they just looked down their noses at me and sauntered off. Wow. Rude. That was really weird and I couldn't help but think about why they would do that? They didn't know me, I have done nothing wrong and yet they just looked at me like I was dirt on their shoe.

"HELLO BROTHER!" I heard Gabriel's voice shout me and I turned around to see him wearing the same outfit as me but he also had bells on his wrists and ankles along with a colourful top hat.

"What in heaven's name are you wearing?"

"My jesters outfit, I look pretty darn cute right?" He winks at me and catches the glance at one of the demon ladies and also winks at her. She blushes, giggles and does a small wave to him before he looks back at me and grins broadly. "I'm not going to lie my brother; some of these demon ladies are pretty flexible. They can sard me anytime."
