Residing in his half broken and desolate castle. A messenger brings forth a message from his father.
"Dear beloved son
It has come to my attention that you still remained unmarried, because of that, I would greatly appreciate your presence at the upcoming ball. I expect you to dress accordingly and attend.
So does the cane.
Warmly and Sincerely
Your bellowed father
The Right Honourable, the Lord High Sheriff of Oren, Count of Holmthwaite, Lord of Castle Umbra, Shas'O Kais Ishikawa"
Akimoto Kenji Ishikawa reads, as he bursts into laughter. Ahh yes, "Bellowed son" he chuckles. Well the crazy bugger expects me, even though I am in important construction restorations! *He says, as he rises from his throne, the marks of many countless hours of sitting, in mangled on it."
*Akimoto Kenji Ishikawa prepares his appropriate clothes, even though he only hold armour as his only clothing, he decides to take on one of the most finest one.
Akimoto embarks on one of his finest horses, escorted with a small escorts of 8 retainers and a jester, who happens to be his greatest retainer. He leaves his trusted chefs at home, even though he will miss their cooking, it would not be long, before he could feast upon their marvellous creations.
Akimoto enters the magnificent ball room alone. His retainers have been paid for a 3 weeks, so they may find "inspiration" at the local homes of love, while Akimoto attends the ball.
A herald meets Akimoto, and requests his name.
"His Lordship Akimoto Kenji Ishikawa"
*The herald seems baffled by the name, but he scrambles around in his notes and replies.*
"Ahh Gregory Ishikawa, your father is waiting for you."
*A gentle eye twitching occurs in Akimotos left eye, as the name "Gregory" is said before him.
He nods and enters deeper into the ball room. Where his eyes meet those of the father.
Akimoto is baffled when he sees a woman speaking with his father, who appears not to be his latest conquest, and apparently very young.
Akimoto manages to keep his composure, but his left eye beings to twitch violently. [His inward feelings could be described in this picture]
It is too late to attempt to ignore his father, and he is forced to move towards them, to an uncertain fate.
