Leon was of course familiar with Elliot's nickname, he rather enjoyed it in a cruel sort of way. He was well aware of just how many spankings his whipping boy had had to endure. "I see," Leon replied, in a distracted sort of way.
"Um, sire, may I leave now?" It was the mousey servant girl. She was quite new, and was still nervous when dealing directly with the royal family. She knew she was never to leave until she was dismissed.
"Ah!" Leon had forgotten about her. He unwrapped his arm from Elliot's shoulder and moved towards her. Despite not being tall, he was a good six or so inches taller than the girl. He smirked at her, the cruelty the king had mentioned creeping out. He had always treated the servants badly, even as a child. He had kicked their shins when they presented him with a meal he hadn't liked or pulled their hair when they tried to put him to bed when he didn't want to sleep yet. "May you go... I wonder..."
The servant girl looked visibly frightened, biting her bottom lip nervously.
(That's cool. And yeah. I hope you are too ^^)
