Chapter 3: Audience

(Your POV)

I can't believe that this is really happening! Thanks to Hekapoo's help, I got a direct audience with Queen Celena the shy and some members of the magical high commission! I'm so nervous that I could faint! Darn it, control yourself (y/n)! This is the dream of my life and I can't afford to screw everything in front of Hekapoo!

...

I-I mean in front of the magical high commission! Not in front of Hekapoo, that she will also be there, but just don't ruin it. Is it getting hotter? AAAAHH! Focus on what you are doing! Now I'm moving my project with a pushcart towards the throne room, where I will have my audience with Queen Celena. I heard many rumors about the queen. My father always said that she was a sweet person and as her name implies, an extremely shy person. That could be a little problematic, so I must be very careful about the way I'm going to talk to Celena. The last thing I want is to make the queen freak out and... banish me from the city... But that's an exaggeration, right?

Back to the subject, I finally arrived at the entrance to the throne room. There were two guards at the entrance who I recognized perfectly. These guys are two idiots who always took me with my father to be scolded every time one of my experiments went wrong. Ladies and gentlemen, here are the worst guards in the world, Bob and Brad!

Bob: Name?

Me: Oh come on! You guys already know me!

Brad: Name?

Me: *Sigh* (y/n) Chronos.

Bob: Oh look! Is the scientist!

Brad: What are you doing here?

I swear I'm losing brain cells with every word these two idiots say.

Me: I got an audience with the queen.

Bob and Brad looked at each other and started to laugh out loud. One of the two was even crying while laughing.

Brad: You?! An audience with the queen?!

Bob: You must be kidding!

Me: Unlike you two, duo of idiots, someone really appreciates my ideas. Thanks to Hekapoo's help I got this audience and I will show the queen what science can do for everyone!

Once again, Brad and Bob looked at each other, laughing even more than before. Brad fell on his knees while hitting the ground, while Bob used the wall to support his weight. These two idiots are a nuisance. Honestly, I don't understand how they didn't lose their job as guards.

Bob: Why would a beauty like Hekapoo had to do something with a nerd like you?

Brad: Talking about Hekapoo, Did you saw how she moves her hips while walking?

Bob: Oh yeah~ That is a hypnotic rhythm~

That's it! Those two idiots have done it now!

(no ones POV)

(y/n): Shut up.

Bob and Brad woke up from their dirty thoughts when they heard (y/n) talking.

Brad: Don't tell me that this is making you angry?

Bob: Awww! The little scientist is in love!

(y/n) raised his hand to where Bob and Brad were. Suddenly, a purple aura surrounded (y/n)'s hand and simultaneously appeared around Bob and Brad. The two idiots started to be levitated from the ground by (y/n)'s telekinetic powers.

Bob: W-What is this?!

Brad: I'm getting sick!

(y/n): Now you two are going to listen to me, couple of idiots...

Bob and Brad were terrified, they had never seen (y/n) enraged like this before.

(y/n): Even though I'm a scientist, I'm the son and grandson of two great magicians, which is simple to assume that I also have magic. But unlike my father who is always bragging about what magic is able to do, I don't like to use it. It brings back bad memories of childhood for me. 

Bob: I-

(y/n): But if there is something I detest more than using magic, it is that a couple of idiots like you speak like that about a lady. So if you know what is best for you, I suggest you to close your mouths and never talk about Hekapoo like this in my presence.

(y/n) dragged Bob and Brad with his telekinetic powers, forcing the two of them to see him in the eyes.

(y/n): Understood?

Bob and Brad didn't say anything, instead, the two quickly nodded many times with their heads while sweating bullets.

(y/n): Good. Now, if you excuse me-

(y/n) placed Bob and Brad where their positions as guards were supposed to be with his telekinetic powers. Then, the same purple aura surrounded the doors of the throne room and these were opened so that (y/n) could get inside.

(y/n): I have a audience with the queen.

(y/n) went inside the throne chamber with his project and the doors were closed behind him.

...

...

...

Bob: Never making him angry again?

Brad: *Nod* Never making him angry again!

(In the throne chamber)

(y/n) got inside the throne chamber and saw many familiar faces, while he recognized others according to some descriptions from his father. For starters, both Adam and Hekapoo were in the throne room. This only made (y/n) more nervous since he didn't want to ruin this in front of his father and his cru- Friend! Another person that (y/n) recognized, although it wasn't a person, was Lekmet, another member of the magical high commission. Lekmet was some kind of demonic goat that according to Adam, was a really friendly person. And finally, (y/n) saw the queen of Mewni, Celena the shy.

Celena always, no matter the place or the moment, was carrying that magic wand with the shape of a fan. (y/n) stopped along with his project a few steps away from the queen and he bowed respectfully in front of Celena.

(y/n): My queen.

Celena didn't answer. This only made (y/n) started to get worry, but his fears disappeared when Celena closed her fan and stopped hiding her face.

Celena: Greetings. You are Adam's son, right?

(y/n): Yes, my name is-

Celena: (y/n) Chronos. Adam never stops talking about you.

Adam: My queen, can please don't talk about that.

Celena got nervous because of Adam and she hid her face behind her fan again. (y/n) was mentally cursing his father. Adam realized his mistake and gave his son an apologetic look. (y/n) took a deep breath and he mentally prepared himself show his project to the queen.

(y/n): My queen, as you may already know, over the years, many historical data from Mewni's history went lost in tragedies. Generations and generations of history about the royal family disappeared in an instant and we don't possess the capabilities to keep every important event in history. But my queen, what would you tell me if I told you that not only I can preserve the history of our kingdom, but I have also created a tool that will write every single event for us?

A look of curiosity appeared on the faces of Lekmet and Celena. Lekmet rubbed his beard and Celena removed her fan from her face. Hekapoo was giving (y/n) a thumbs up to encourage him to keep going, while Adam simply watched carefully what he son was about to show everyone.

Lekmet: Baaaah?

Celena: Do you have a tool with such capacity?

(y/n): That's right my queen! Although, create a tool like this wasn't easy. I still don't have the knowledge to make an ordinary machine perform such a task.

Adam: Then how is that machine able to do that?

(y/n): Good question and the answer is fascinating! But to summarize the story, if we combine the power of magic with the techniques of science, nothing is impossible! And that's why let me show you-

(y/n) removed the white blanket that covered the pushcart with his project, revealing two mechanical arms. One of the mechanical arms held a pen, while the other held a long scroll.

(y/n): The mechanical historian whose name may change in the future!

Just like with Hekapoo, the lack of reaction for part of the members of the magical commission and the queen made (y/n) nervous. (y/n) looked at Hekapoo with an expression that was clearly saying "help!".

Hekapoo: How about you show us how your creation works, (y/n)?

(y/n): R-Right! To activate the machine you don't have to do anything more than press a simple button! 

(y/n) pressed one of the buttons that were connected with mechanical arms engine, turning on his creation. Meanwhile, one of the servants of the castle was bringing some sandwiches for the queen. The mechanical arms turned on and started to write on the scroll.

(y/n): As you can see, my invention has already started to work and is writing what is happening right now. That information will be saved and preserved for the future.

Celena: And does it works?

(y/n): Let's test it!

(y/n) took the scroll on which the mechanical arms were writing and he started to read its contents out loud.

(This is going to be a random date for the day, month, and year)

(y/n): Date, July 3 of the sixty-five! Today, the current queen of Mewni, Celena Butterfly, was on her throne attending an important audience related to (y/n) Chronos. While she watched the creation of the young inventor, Celena would never have imagined that... Don't eat the sandwich!

(y/n) eyes went wide open and he quickly used his telekinetic powers to steal Celena's sandwich before she could take a bite.

Lekmet: BAAAAAAHHH!!!

Adam: What are you doing?!

(y/n): The sandwich was poisoned!

Hekapoo: What?!

(y/n): My queen, look at this!

(y/n) handed the scroll to Celena so that she could read what the mechanical arms had written.

Celena: Celena would never have imagined that the royal Chef was replaced by a citizen of Mewni who held a grudge against the royal family for ruining his contraband market. The sandwiches were poisoned with the only objective of killing the queen of Mewni...

A whole silence consumed the throne room. Nobody could believe that the queen was about to be poisoned. Celena ordered some guards to find the fake royal chef and arrest him for trying to poison her. Adam couldn't believe what he just saw, the invention of his son not only can help others, but his invention saved the life of the queen! 

Celena: (y/n)...

(y/n) quickly bowed in front of the queen.

Celena: Today your invention not only proved to have a great utility for Mewni, but it also saved my life. That's why I would like to support your experiments, so that your creations can help others in the same way they helped me. But if there is anything I can do to reward what you did for me today, do not hesitate to ask.

(y/n) couldn't believe it! Not only (y/n) impressed the queen with his creation, she would give him the support that his experiments need. (y/n) was so happy that he didn't know what to say or do. But he remembered something very important, (y/n) remembered who helped him to make all of this possible, (y/n) remembered how much he owed to Hekapoo.

(y/n): Now that you mention it, your majesty, there is something you could do for me.

Celena: I'm all ears.

(y/n): Could you... Perhaps... Give Hekapoo some vacations?

Everyone: What?!

(y/n): I-I know this an odd request. But it was thanks to Hekapoo that I got this audience with you and I think she deserves those vacations!

Celena looked at (y/n) and then at Hekapoo, a smile appeared on the queen's face. She knew something was happening, something good and sweet.

Celena: Very well, if that's what you want I shall grant Hekapoo some vacations to do whatever she wants.

(y/n) bowed respectfully once again. The mechanical arms of (y/n)'s project formed a heart with their hands for the queen and made Celena blush and hide her face behind her fan. Once the audience with the queen ended, (y/n) left the throne room while pushing his project home. But before (y/n) could leave, Hekapoo appeared in front of him.

Hekapoo: What you did is so sweet but you didn't have to do it.

(y/n): Of course I had to do it! If it wasn't because you help me, I would have never achieved any of this!

Hekapoo suddenly did something unexpected. Hekapoo kissed (y/n) on the cheek. This caused our dear scientist to explode in red and remain in a completely paralyzed condition. The mark of Hekapoo's lips remained on (y/n)'s cheek as smoke came out of the place where she kissed him.

Hekapoo: Thanks (y/n). But tell me, would you like to hang out later with me?

(y/n): Y-Yeah...

Hekapoo: Alright! See you later and try to not blow up yourself!

Hekapoo leaved, but even so, (y/n) was still paralyzed. Suddenly, (y/n) collapsed on the floor. The mechanical arms quickly took a handkerchief and started to fan it in front of (y/n)'s face.

(y/n): This is the best day of my life...

AAANNNDDD DONE!!!

Hekapoo just K.O (y/n)!

Also, look at this!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
