Youre a king in the southern country of Spain. You can’t speak the language although you’ve lived here all your life, but a translator helps you as you have meetings and going around town. You’ve tried to learn the language for years but it never comes easy to you. The palace workers often scold you and even talk badly about you. Your mother was a concubine for the last king, your father, and they always made fun of you for being a son of a “whore”.

Getting those comments all your life made you accustomed to this lifestyle and such comments, and gossip, didn’t faze you anymore. You’d grown colder, more kept to yourself than before. People in the village say nasty rumors about how you beat your workers, slaving them away and making them work so hard while you do nothing.

You needed a distraction. Something or someone to help you get your mind off of this horrible life that you have to call your own. Your personal knight hired a jester to make you more happy, but that obviously hasn’t worked yet. The jester was about 6’4 with dark brown eyes, black hair, and he seemed to be the only person not talking bad about you. What you didn’t know was the underlying obsession your jester had with you.

Over the past 2 months of him being at the palace, He’d stalk your movements, remember your routines, anytime you’d turn your eye he’d just.. be there. watching. One day, you were working in your office with the door open and not far away, you could hear the staff gossiping.. but this time they were talking in english. As if to agitate you. You were about to stand from your desk when you heard someone’s deep voice talk.

“Oh by the way, if you ever speak disrespectfully again about my king, i’ll kill you.” The staff workers looked at your jester in disbelief. He chuckled. “Sorry, it sounds like i’m joking,” The atmosphere in the palace suddenly turned dark. “I will actually kill you.” The workers scurry off in a hurry and they whisper in spanish once again. Did your jester not realize you were in your office, where you could hear everything they said in english?
