4 『His Orders』 (1/2)
Hours had gone by and Jack had just sat there, shifting his position on the arm of the throne several times, before glancing over towards the Witch whom was firmly seated in the chair.
After glancing at him from the corner of her eye, she parted her lips seeing the gaze she was giving her.”Eh? I'm hella not gettin' up!” She pouted in a snap, pressing her lips together as she glared back at him.
The two of them just stared, Jack not showing all that much agitation or response to her declaration. However he didn't take his eyes off of hers.
A 'ji' sound resonated from his throat, the intensity of the stoic stare was increasing indefinitely.
”Mmmm...” She groaned as she started shrinking away to the side, sweat drops forming on her forehead. ”N-never giving this seat back!”
The moment she said this, Jack literally just plopped right off of the arm and onto her left leg. ”Then you shall become the seat,” he'd utter shamelessly as he crossed one leg over another once more with his smug menacing expression.

”Tsk, Shameless...” The Witch laughed and shook her head as she hugged one arm around him.
Jack shrugged at the accusation swishing himself around in place as he made himself comfortable.
”...Ah...” She felt like he was crushing her legs, as he was so much more dense than a normal person. ”Oniisama… Get off my leg please!”
”That didn't take you long,” Jack leaned his back into her, turning his head to rest a rather sadistically teasing gaze upon her. ”Should've gotten up.”
Half of the Guardians who had been sitting there, talking amongst themselves cheerfully, were chuckling lightly at the sight of Jack sitting on his 'sister.'
”Anna vi Amethyst, do you surrender the throne?” He nudged her in the side with his elbow, but she immediately shook her head in a rapid fashion.
”Nu-uh! Mine. You gave me this station, you cannot take it back!”
”Is that how it is..?” Jack glared at her for a few seconds before shifting the rest of his lower body onto both her legs, taking over her lap in a disastrous coup.
What made him feel a bit awkward as he was doing this however, was the fact that she wrapped her arms around his waist, trapping him.
”Haha! I have captured the Jack-onissama!”
”...” Jack just gazed over at the other Guardians who were watching with both confused and partially suppressed amused expressions. ”Am I really captured?” Resting his feet flat on the ground at the foot of the throne, he immediately stood up.
The short witch would find herself hanging from his torso by a few inches from the ground. ”Eh?!”
”In order to capture your prey, what is the first thing you must know?” Jack didn't look at her as he asked this question, his eyes were narrowed on the massive sliding door of the chamber.
Blinking when asked this question, the sister looked up at him. A thoughtful hum would then emit from her throat as she released her hold on him. Dropping to her feet as she put a finger close to her lower lip. Her gaze moving to the ceiling as she thought. ”Uuuh… You must know your prey. Hehe~” She gave a thumbs up only for her to turn around in a swift spherical motion.
”No, you must know yourself, then your prey.”
”Pft wha…? But I do know myself.” Planting her hands on her hips, she shifted her weight to one side, giving him the stink eye.
”Then why'd you fail?” Jack was bored, it was definitely clear to just about anyone, which was why he was now teasing this one adorable NPC before him.
”Obviously because you're physically stronger, Oniisama.”
”No, it's because you weigh so little,” Jack placed his hand on the top of her head as she giggled a bit from the touch. He would mess with her hair, until his fingers got knotted in the silver locks. Slowly, he pulled his fingers out of her hair before glancing over his shoulder.
A young man wearing a blue and gold Victorian styled Military Uniform with an armor helmet under his shoulder, came walking into the Throne Chamber. He had a Van Dyke beard and a muddled brown dapper styled hairdo and stern coal blue eyes.
”Mires Reporting for duty!” The heels of his leather boots clacked together as he stood before the throne, bowing and dropping to one knee in one swift move of his own.
”Mires, what is the status of the city and our surroundings?” What he was to report, would dictate Jack's next orders for the Guardians. If they were surrounded by hostiles, the first action was to eliminate enemies present. If there was no one, nothing outside, it was best to take control of the production plant if it could be made operational.
”The Honor Guard has scoured the surroundings of the Castle, and entered into the City to find that there are no hostiles present. The City is ours, there are no other residence.” Mires raised his head to look up at Jack, a bright blue glow emanating from his eyes.
The corners of Jack's lips curled into a faint smile, he couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh. ”Good, good… I want twenty of the Honor Guards to secure the Automaton Assembly Plant and investigate it.” His eyes drifted over towards Daniki, the giant preying mantis. ”They will be under your command.”
Clicking and clacking in response as it bowed its head, the monstrous insectoid would turn and head towards the door.
Mires would nod his head before raising to his feet and putting his helmet over his head. ”As to be expected of our Great One, Jack-sama! I will select the best and join Lord Daniki on the Ground!”
