The Royal Duty

The Unforseen

"Marshall,it's crooked,"said by an adult dalmatian as he tidy up himself and his son,fixing their self in front of a really big mirror,positioning their crown at the correct angle,Marshall let out a sigh of frustation annoyed by the heavy object that he always wear on his head,"Don't make a frown face boy,I'm only preparing you to be the next me,"Chuckled by the bigger dalmatian as he seats down at the dining table,followed by Marshall sitting at the other side of the table,and was also joined by another dalmatian larger than him but smaller from the king,it was the queen and the mother of Marshall.

"What's with the frowny face dear?"she ask from a gentle tone,Marshall crossed his arms and answered,"Dad is,"he pouted,the female pup chuckled at his sons reaction,"You two are like oil and water,never being on the same page,will you?"she continued,putting her arms on her mouth as she chuckle,Marshall shook his head no in response,"One day he will,"the king spoke,"Our son will soon be the proud ruler of our humble kingdom,"he insisted,"You do know when his in charge he'll be the one giving orders,he can even banished as from our own home,or be exiled,"the king proudly continued of an odd future,"What!!!I'd never do that!"Marshall instantly shouted,interrupting his father's words,the both of them laughed,"A pure hearted king indeed,"she continued smiling at her son,"He'll make a great king of Carmine Kingdom,"the king continued smiling at his son,Marshall slightly developed a scarlet color at his cheeks.

The door slowly opened,as their breakfast was carried by a metal tray,placing each of the food in front of them,"Anyway,son you need to find a mate,the one that will be by your side as you rule our kingdom,I suggest you marry a husky,"the king suggested,"No,dear,I think he must decide who he wants to marry,I'm sure he'll find the special girl to matched his spirit,she'll love him as much as you'll love her,right?"the queen smile as she explained.

Marshall just kept quite,not saying a word,slowly eating his food.A problem has occured to Marshall from finding a mate,it has to be a female,and he wasn't exactly into those types of relation yet,experiencing this,he taught it was some kind of disease that needs to be cured right away,as a young pup,he knows that this problem will haunt him if he ignored it.

"So,is their anyone your eyeing on dear?"the queen gently ask,earning a response of no,"I'm sure there's some girls out there waiting for you,you just have to make the first moved,"the king joked earning a laugh from his family,then after that,silenced filled the room as they eat their meal,the silenced was pretty much enjoyed by the two royals and especially by Marshall.Finishing their meal,grabbing some handkerchief to wipe the smudge on their faces,the king spoke,"Alright,get yourself ready son,you know that we have somewhere to go to our brethren, Kingdom of Darthound,"The king chirp,knowing that there are some business they need to do with their kingdom companion,Darthhound Kingdom is ruled by two  Labrador,Arthur and his wife Diana,with their three children,while the Kingdom of Carmine,where Marshall lived,is ruled by his father Felix and his mother Sivian.

Marshall nod in response,walking straight to his bedroom,after thanking for the meal,followed by the royal maids.After minutes of preparing for their departure,they we're finally heading out,riding at their royal carriage,followed by 10 royal knights for their protection,finally they we're off,setting out of the kingdom,passing by the citizens of their hometown,Marshall on the other hand,hasn't removed his head against the window with his arm beneath his chin,witnessing the scenery of his kingdom,the ride was a relaxing and calm one,until something or rather someone has caught Marshall's attention,he immediately move his head as he saw a brown pup about his age,of what he assumed is a male german shepperd,resting on a branch of a tall and large tree,what annoyed him was this pup pointed with his tongue,expressing a teasing gesture,Marshall sigh in annoyance,"Talk about bad manners,"he mumble which was heard by his parents.

"Is there something wrong dear?"Silvian ask curious about the sudden statement of his son,Marshall awkardly laugh,"Oh,nothing just some birds flying around,"he lied,chuckling awkwardly,"I see,"his mother said,changing her attention to something else.
