Gael thought he knew what to expect after arriving at Castle Brimstone. In all the stories he'd read castles were majestic places with valiant heroes, grand feasts and wondrous magic. He dreamed of becoming a squire and eventually dubbed a famous knight who would compete in tournaments across the land. Instead, he's given the job of court jester, forced to attend feasts in motley and capering to nobles for laughs.
It's not all bad. Gael's best friend is an actual princess. Talia taught him to read when he was a shabby boy in the forest and she's the only reason he became free of his abusive uncle.
But now Gael's discovered the king's life is in danger, and nobody believes him. After all, he's nothing but a fool.

The Jester and The Queen
So Queen Marigold had her husband beheaded. What of it? The adultering loser had broken her heart. What she didn't expect though was that her trusted council would turn against her and that her sister Elsbeth, second to the throne, would use this momentum to overthrow her reign and banish her to Baile na Grod, which - let's be honest - is nothing more than an inhospitable rock in the ocean. As surprising as that chain of events might be, nothing could've prepared her for the shock of her creepy-ass jester volunteering to keep his queen company in exile. What the fuckety fuck fuck! She might as well throw herself off a cliff right now. 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 ONC2025 entry Prompt 52.
