A Royal Pain In The . . .
Blaming this one on Taz for starting the plot bunny hopping.

Prologue
“Another thing, Lu-san. It’s not very important. But your coronation is tomorrow.”
Over and over his mother’s words rang in his head. No, oh, no and hell no, he thought. He wasn’t anywhere near ready to be a king yet. Not ready to settle down to a life of boredom at best, stress beyond measure at worst. Uh uh, not happening right now. He threw back the silk coverlet of the bed and yanked on some clothes then went to find his servant Wilhelm.
“Coronation my ass!” he grumbled, sliding silently into the servant’s area. Standing next to the open window for a moment and listening to his servant freak out and grumble about his master becoming king the next day. He chuckled evilly. This would be fun. His mother might try to hunt him down, actually it was very likely she would if she was at all serious about the whole debacle. But anything was better than being a sitting duck for all the match making mamas in the kingdom.
“Hey! What are you to me?” Lui said, perching on the window ledge.
“I am your best servant, Prince Ludwig.”
“Yeah? If you are then get your ass up and pack for me. I’m so out of here.”
“As you wish.”
The next morning, a note was found on the door to the palace. Complete with crudely drawn picture of Prince Ludwig giving all the stink eye and telling everyone he wasn’t coming back until he found a suitable princess to marry.
“Dear gods, we won’t see him again until he’s thirty,” the queen’s servant Clemens said.
The queen chuckled darkly. “Probably not. That’s my brat.”

Brad Crawford shook his head to clear it of the vision he’d just had. It was certainly one of the strangest ones he could ever lay claim to and made absolutely no sense what so ever. Two men and two women, all in odd clothing, the men on horses one woman on a . . . broom? The other woman taking potshots at everyone from behind. Strangest damn vision ever, he thought, shaking his head.
He glanced at the clock and noticed it read past two in the morning. He sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. Schuldig and Farfarello wouldn’t be back until morning probably. They were in Germany for an assignment and Schuldig had felt the need to drag Farf around to all the pubs. Hardly shocking but certainly annoying. Two hung over assassins were never a good thing, especially not when one was uncontrolled at the best of times. He’d ponder the strange vision in the morning.

If you want to know who Prince Ludwig is you’ll find him here. http://www.onemanga.com/Ludwig_Kakumei/1/00-cover/ The manga is from the same writer and artist who does Angel Sanctuary. Think Grimm’s Faerietales on crack. If it ever gets translated into English and published in the States I’m so owning it.
