Chapter Text
t was a nice day the sun shining bright on all the old toys and antique laid out on the tables, it was a yard sale day. A small college kid known and king was walking down the street looking for something to busy himself with fixing up and cleaning up a little project for him. Looking at all the old stuff maybe him a bit nalstolgic seeing old games and toys from his childhood but nothing really caught his eye. He thought of getting some jewelry for his sister since he liked older jewelry.
“Hello there young man” a old man waved a hand as if beckoning for king to come to his table. A bit uneasy king went over to his table seeing some old time objects some he didn’t even know what they were. “You seem like the kind of boy that might like some more knightly things” he motioned to the old daggers and other knighted objects. King was intrigued he loved the idea of being a knight he wasn’t much of a fighter but the idea was appealing.
“Well I’m looking for a bit of a clean up project and something for my sister” he explained, the old man nodded and pointed to a case on the side of the table.
“That case has some old jewelry and I have something I believe is worth your time please wait a moment” the man got up and returned to his home as king went to the case and looked through finding some things Elian might like. He landed on a ruby necklace just as the man came back holding something strange under his arm.
“You said your where looking for a project when this is quite the clearing up” he put a old helmet on the table, it looked beat and definitely needing a tune up. “This helmet is over a million years old some say it was worn by a fairy king” the story was interesting but it could have been true fairies don’t exist.
“Huh aright I’ll take your word how much is it” king asked holding the necklace to “same with this there wasn’t a price on it.” He had enough money to pay for really anything his adopted brother was rich so he could afford it.
“Oh no the helm is free the necklace though I’ll say 20” he nodded taking out his wallet and giving the man a 40 instead he felt bad not playing for the helmet.
“Thank you sir” “oh no thank you my boy I’ve been trying to git rid of the old thing for years” with a silent nod king took the helmet and was off with one last thanks. It was getting late witch ment gloxinia would be home soon and Elian would be going on her date with her boyfriend soon. Of course like any older brother king didn’t really like ban expeoly after what he did to his sister. The walk home was vary calming but also scary with it getting dark but like any sensible person walking in the dark king kept a weapon on him just a pocket knife his big brother gave Him.
Coming up on his home he looked up at the almost mansion, king himself was already a noble but after his parents where killed and gloxinia took them in his station though it didn’t change he was now treated with more respect. Entering his home he was met with his sister coming down the stairs.
“Elian! I’m home I brought you something” “harlequin!” She came running once she noticed her big brother was home. He took out the necklace holding it out to her.
“I thought you could ware it tonight for your first date since the accident” Elian looked over the necklace it was beautiful gold with Rudy droplets like a royal crown almost.
“Oh Harlequin it’s beautiful thank you!” “Here let me help you put it on” she turned and moved her hair so her brother could put the necklace on, it matched her blond hair well and the rubies popped agents her pale skin and white dress.
“It’s looks amazing on you” king smiled moving her bangs as a car horn goes off “Hm he’s here have fun sis” “I will thank you harlequin” she hugged her brothers before going to the doors and running to the car outside. King caught a glimpse of the man who put his sister in the hospital but after all this time he forgave him. He went up to his room placing the helm on his desk as he looked for some of his metal cleaner, quietly he hummed to himself but unexpectedly a second voice was humming along with him. King perked up hearing it.
“Who’s there?!” No response “I heard you I know you’re there”
“ so that old guy really sold me to a twink?”
