(( Part 1 here ))
The three walked into a small building, small enough to be a shack but nice enough to be an actual home. The inside was a different story, though. It was filled with magical accessories, ingredients for potions, and voodoo dolls tossed into different places of the house, mostly untouched from lack of use. The royal guests were lead into a small room with a table and three chairs around it. Dino and Francis were sat down next to each other while Arthur took the other side to face them. “Now then.” The Englishman began, looking at the two. “You understand that the fortunes I’ll be giving you will be part of the future, yes?”
Francis smiled and nudged Dino. “Just a simple fortune teller, Dino. When do those ever come true?” He whispered.
Arthur pulled out a crystal ball and placed it onto the table. Moving his hands around it, fog started filling up the small ball. “Ah. I see that our handsome prince here has been cut off from his funds.”
The long-hair blonde shrugged and smiled regretfully. “Sadly, it is true.” He was hushed as the wizard continued.
“You have two choices. Either marry into a rich family, or get a job to support yourself. Though for your future, I see much simpler life with little unwanted work. There’s green and gold and silver and white painted into your future. You’ll be famous even outside of your prince title.”
Francis beamed at the sound of his fortune. He imagined being able to party every night again and mingle with plenty of girls. He was too far into his daydream that he didn’t hear his servant’s fortune.
“You’ve been with the prince since young, and you’ve served him day and night only to be unappreciated for your work. But I see a change for your future. I see you no longer serving the prince but him serving you in some way.” Arthur glanced up at the now intrigued Italian. He grinned. “I can help make your fortunes come true, you know. I can make a deal with both of you.”
Francis looked over and beamed. “You can already count me in, mon ami~”
Dino nodded in agreement. “Si, I as well.”
Arthur smirked deviously. “Good.” The Englishman stood from his chair and made his way over to the two men. He held out his hands to seal the deal, the two guests shaking eagerly. “Let’s get started shall we?”
The room became eerily dark, the lighting changed colors and Francis found himself unable to move from his seat as shadows tied him down tight. “Wh-what is going on here?”
Dino stood up quickly and stepped back in shock and fear. Arthur laughed and made a locket-like pendant appear out of thin air. “This will only hurt for a moment.” He opened the locket to reveal a needle as he pricked the prince’s finger and trapped some of his blood into the pendant. Something sparked and lights began flashing around the scared prince. He continued to struggle but was no use, leaving his servant to watch in horror with what was going on. He knew this was going to be a bad idea.
