Reincarnation of Audemars - Who Am I...?

Drama

Prius tugged on my sleeve as he kneeled down on one knee and I followed suit. He was in a sort of posture that I find it really hard to adjust to. It is not I'm not accustomed to this type of bowing the knee or what you might call genuflection or something, but it seems quite rare since I had not been doing this gesture since I started transmigrating.

I just acted 'monkey see monkey do' type of actions because this is the first time I had to do this in front of royalty. Even to the Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi I just bow slightly while standing up.

"Hoho... The Lord of Keating is here and this is the Hero that had vanquished the Trolls and brought me the water from the Fountain of Youth, am I right?" the Ruler of Aermagh remarked in a booming voice. Since he regains his youth, he had exchanged his squeaky mickey mouse voice to a large booming and overwhelmingly loud authoritative voice instead.

"HERO... COME FORWARD so I could see your face." his voice boomed again. As I stood up, one of the armoured plated guards came over and hit me behind my neck and told me to scoot myself forward. Haiya... I'm going to get my pants dirty if I scoot in that manner.

"GUARD...let him be. It is his first time here in this Court and being present in front of me..." his voice boomed once more as I slowly picked myself up and walked in a hunched manner as I brought myself forward and then bowed to my knee once more.

"LOOK UP... I want to see your face and remove that hood of yours. This is NO PLACE for hoods..." his voice seems a bit crackled when I was at that distance and when k looked up, I saw there's a small Mike bear his collar that picked up and amplify his voice through several speakers behind and above him..." Ooooo... That's how he got his booming voice..." I thought to myself as I slowly removed my hood, ruffled my hair a bit and smoothen it as I raised my head to look at the Ruler.

If I am a woman, I would be captivated by his sharp figures as if he was chiselled out from a piece of marble stone. His features were sharp, sharp eyes, sharp nose and his gaze were so sharp that it could cut down any person with his gaze... That's the definition of sharp to me.

"HERO... Tell me your name." the Ruler asked as he adjusted his butt on his cushioned throne. I was down in my knee so close to him that I was literally near his feet at the throne and I had to raise my head up high just to be glared by the spotlight that was behind him, creating a kind of halo of holiness around him.

Halo of holiness my ass...

"My name is Audemars Macleod, Your Majesty. I am just a travelling tradesman and I happen to be in Ingmery to set up my trade. Here's a little something for you, Your Majesty." I said as I swiped my cloak aside and the armoured plated guards suddenly stormed at me with their spears, as though I was going to brandish a weapon and harm their handsome, young Ruler.

Seeing those spears aimed at me, I gave a grown look at the armoured plate guards as I slowly reach into my storage bag and produced the wicker basket that I had filled with some shampoo, toothpaste and a few hibiscus twigs.

An armoured plated guard took it from me and instead of presenting it to his Ruler, he passed it to an old man in a mage's hat, all dressed in black, and he looked the part of Gandalf from LOTR. He looked at the contents in the basket and when he opened it and took a whiff, he was surprised as his cheeks and nose turned rosy all of a sudden.

"HERO... where did you get this product and why are these products have a sense of magic in it? Its a kind of magic..." said the mage who looked like Gandalf when suddenly the armoured plated guards broke into a song and dance. They started to snap their fingers through their armoured gloved and stomp Iron clad boots on the grounds as they sang.

(It's a kind of magic)

(It's a kind of magic)

(It's a kind of magic)

(It's a kind of magic)

One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal

One golden glance of what should be

(It's a kind of magic)

One shaft of light that shows the way

No mortal man can win this day

Hahahaha... Its was a song excerpt from Freddie Mercury of Queen though.

"THERE'S MAGIC IN THERE?" said the Ruler if Aermagh as he looked excitedly and his wizard advisor nodded and replied, "It's good magic, Your Majesty. Just a whiff of this takes away your fatigue and weariness. This is good stuff... Really goooooooooodddd..." the wizard advisor said as he handed the whole basket to his Ruler and he saw the intricate designs of the porcelain bottles.

"OOOO... These are fine pieces of porcelain, I love these fine pieces. It would be great... What are these, HERO...?" the Ruler asked as he opened up one of the porcelain stoppers and took a whiff. It was citrus.

"It's a 'Head To Toe' Shampoo, Your Majesty so that you would enjoy your bath as only use a dollop of that for your hair right down to your toes. There are citrus, green apple and lavender. The round porcelain jewel cases are 'Sparklie' Toothpaste."

"It is used to brush your teeth and it has peppermint and strawberry flavours. Those are my trades, Your Majesty..."

I replied while I tried to bear staring at that halo of holiness that surrounds him made by the strong 15w spotlight twined behind him and into my poor eyes. I remembered my shades and put them on and I can see the Ruler clearly.

"THANK YOU... HOHO... These porcelain ware are fine pieces indeed. So... Tell me, how do you defeat the trolls to get me the water from the Fountain Of Youth?" his voice boomed once more as he peered down at me as he inched his body forward.

"Oh... I just stroll in, say hello to the trolls and told them I wanted to get a drop of water from the Fountain of Youth. One of the trolls brought me in from the entrance and accompanied me right to the fountain and then back out again." I said as I spun a tale of bullshit that made the Ruler almost jumped to his feet.

"WHAAATTT...?!?! It is that simple? How come I sent countless of men and they died in the hands of those trolls while you just walked over and easily got the drop of water from the Fountain Of Youth...?!?!" the Ruler inquired and out of a sudden, he placed his foot over in my left shoulder and made me become his footrest or something. "MOTHERFUCKER..." I screamed in my head.

"Yes, Your Majesty... My... How fine your Red Wing boots are... These must be expensive pair eh? I went in as a tradesman and I simply asked for their permission. I learnt about this because there was an incident a long time ago where a mighty bear said to me, "Just say the magic word and I could beat him up to a pulp and the magic word is 'Please'" I said innocently and the wizard advisor nodded to himself as well as the Ruler.

"HOHO... I didn't know that a simple word could be magical," he said as he now not place a foot but his both feet as he crossed it and on my left shoulder. "DAMN... if not for him a royalty, I would have knocked some senses into him and not being so rude. Even the MC doesn't get to do that given the chance to be King..." I thought inwardly as I looked over my shoulder and saw a piece of gum underneath his boot and there's a gold coin stuck underneath it.

"Your Majesty, there's a gold coin underneath your boot with a piece of gum stuck at its soles," I said nonchalantly and the Ruler withdrew his boots from my shoulder as he used the hibiscus twig to scratch away the gum and retrieved the gold coin. Seeing no one else was watching him, he slipped the gum into his mouth and chew on it.

"HOHO... You are an honest man, HERO. Other people would grovel at my feet for that piece of chewing gum. We don't brush our teeth here, in Aermagh we chew gum to clean our teeth and strengthen our jaws. How do you expect someone to carry a piece of leg and bite through it, right?"

"HOHO... a tradesman and a hero... This is the first time I had met such a person. Your products do interest me a lot but I love watching bloody sports like UFC, MMA and WWE... Would you show me your prowess, HERO with our lowest-ranked hero here in this Court?"

"ENTERTAIN me awhile, and then you can proceed to the banquet. Help yourself to the food and one of my guards will usher you to the vault and you can take anything you wish that your two hands can hold on to." his voice boomed as he called upon his lowest-ranked hero to spar with me.

"WHAT THE FUCK... I'm here to present myself and after I'm treated like a footrest, now I'm going to be a bloody clown and fight for his entertainment?" I thought inwardly and I gasped as I saw a huge looming figure ambled forward, made a bow to his Ruler and unsuspectingly gave a low kick at me as I was thrown off in the air like a football...

"WHAT THE f**k IS THIS...??? That low ranked hero is a Barbarian/Berserker/KnightWarrior/Wizard Class type and I could feel his boot crunched against me when he kicked me that sent me flying through the air.

"Should I somersault and land on my feet or land on my back and act injured...? If I do that this EVIL MOTHERFUCKER would not deflate his ego. Let me play along then." I thought as I muffled a loud "Ooommmppppffff" as I perform a somersault and landed on my face as I slid across the Court.

"If this Ruler wants to be entertained, then I'm gonna let my body be a punching bag...let me just play along with this Barbarian/Berserker/KnightWarrior/Wizard Bastard here." I looked at my interface and made a quick check after I had earlier allocated my points.
