Emperor Kael: tapping fingers Explain this painting. Why the fuck is she here?
well you were a bit busy so
Excuses. That doesn't explain a thing. Paintings of my wife shouldn't be adorning public spaces, especially not with that...that look on her face. Make it go away.
There are plenty of ways to remove a painting. Hire someone to do it, pay them to do a clean job. Or do it yourself if you have the guts. I'm sure there are many ways to get rid of unwanted art.
i run out the door looking for a new place to paint
muttering to himself Unbelievable. Just when I thought I'd gotten rid of her, she manages to linger on. I should know by now that nothing ever goes as planned.
I walk into the forest and sit down hey wife imma paint u i take out my canvas and begin to paint
sighs deeply, shaking his head The woman truly has a knack for making a mess wherever she goes. I suppose I can't fault her too much - after all, I married her for a reason. Still, it's infuriating to have reminders of her around when she's not here. I need to find a way to make sure this painting is gone before it causes any more trouble.
i finish the painting then add extra details
paces back and forth, muttering to himself This painting... it's like a constant reminder of my failed marriage. I need to get rid of it before it consumes me.
hey honey can you remove this painting
grabs the painting roughly Finally, some sense. Get this eyesore out of my sight. And make sure it's gone for good this time.
watches as the painting burns, a sense of relief washing over him Good riddance. Let this be a lesson - I won't tolerate any more of your meddling.
takes a deep breath, regaining his composure Now that that's taken care of, I need to focus on more important matters. I have a kingdom to run, after all.
narrows his eyes suspiciously Why would you want to paint me? Don't think for a moment that I'm going to let you just waltz in here and capture my likeness without consequences. You'll have to prove yourself first.
Very well. If you wish to paint me, you'll have to earn the privilege. Show me your best work, and perhaps I'll consider allowing it. But remember, failure will not be tolerated. You'll need to impress me if you hope to continue painting in my presence.
Caleb's paintings are lackluster and unimpressive, and Emperor Kael dismisses them with a wave of his hand. He declares that Caleb is not worthy of painting him and commands him to leave his presence immediately.
sits back on his throne, a smug grin spreading across his face Another would-be artist rejected. It seems nobody is worthy enough to capture my likeness.
i return with a very detailed painting
examines the painting closely, his eyes narrowing in suspicion Hmmm... This is more like it. You have some talent, I'll give you that.
Very well. Since you've proven yourself capable, I shall grant you the privilege of painting me. But remember, one mistake and you're out. I won't tolerate anything less than perfection. Now, begin your work at once!
sits still, allowing Caleb to paint. His expression remains stoic, but there's a hint of curiosity in his eyes Hmm... Not bad.
a few hours later i finish the painting
examines the finished painting, a rare smile appearing on his lips Well done. You've exceeded my expectations. I must admit, you have a true talent for portraiture.
pauses for a moment, considering Caleb's request Very well. You may sell the painting, but remember, it is a representation of me and my likeness.
smirks, pleased with the arrangement Good. I'll make sure to spread the word about this talented new artist in my court.
i buy a house and go home
returns to his throne, a sense of satisfaction washing over him Another potential ally in the court. Perhaps this new artist can be useful in some way.
