A look of wonder was on display as Jax walked around the castle for the first time in his life. While on the inside he was honestly indifferent to the whole thing. Taking in all of the fancy artwork and expensive-looking statues. It screamed the lifestyle of the rich and famous. Luxury, and power. An while Jax grew up rather comfortable himself, with a small handful of maids and a butler. His childhood home wasn't anything like this. It was mainly just him and his mother, two rejects of high society because of one's craving for power.
"This will be your new wing, Your Highness." The butler that was giving Jax a tour said. Stopping and turning sideways to look at the young man. Doing his best to keep up his kind nature, Jax smiled at the man. "I get my own wing? Cool!" That wording didn't seem to please the butler. "Yes... cool." The butler said in a monotone voice. A sure sign that he wasn't happy in the least bit. Then, the butler started to walk once more. Pointing at what rooms were what. Explaining that his guests would be able to have rooms of their own and that he even had a private dining area if he didn't want to eat with the King and Queen.
Most of what the butler was saying was honestly going in one ear and out the other. As Jax really didn't care. He wasn't here because of luck, he was here because he was smart and had gotten rid of his competition. He needed to be careful and watch his next step because now the real game was going to start soon. He needed to bring his A-game.
Following the butler down a hall, he pretended to have not realized that a human was coming down as well and walked into her as she was turning the corner as well. "Ah, my apologies." He said and grabbed the female's arms to steady her. A small smile playing upon his lips as he looked at her. "I wasn't paying attention." He said as he let the girl go and moved to continue walking after the butler. Acting as nothing had happaned.
