The following is a story of Voltron I made up based on the T.V. cartoon Voltron by World Events Productions. I did not have World Events Productions' permission to do the story and therefore it does not have World Events Productions' endorsement.
King Keith and Princess Romelle returned back to the dining room after their little chat in a side room about how Sven had asked Romelle to marry him. They sat back down in their proper places at the table. Everyone had already been waiting well over long enough with first waiting for Hunk and Darah to show up and then when they made their appearance, Hunk insisted on talking with the king and queen privately with Darah. Then when they were all finally back, that's when Keith insisted on interrogating Romelle over some questions he had on his mind.
Nanny could take the insolence no longer. His majesty making his guests wait even longer under his own doing was the last straw for her.
After Keith and Romelle were seated, Hunk said, "Good. Now let's dig in!" And he made a reach for some food, forgetting even about saying grace.
He stopped abruptly, after hearing the angry sound of Nanny clearing her throat. He quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Nanny only to see that she was ready to whap his hand with a wooden spoon had he not stopped himself.
"No one eats until I have a word with his majesty," demanded Nanny.
"Ohhhh," groaned Hunk.
Nanny shot Hunk another angry glance that soon had him wishing he had kept quiet.
"Your majesty," said Nanny to Keith.
Keith stood up, and Nanny stood aside allowing him into the little side room first. She followed close behind and closed the door.
"You're majesty," began Nanny, "with all respect due to you, I am appalled by the behavior you've just displayed. I mean it's one thing for Hunk to make everyone wait -- as shocking as that was, and it's another for him to make everyone wait even longer by insisting on the immediate assistance of his majesty and the queen. But it's quite all another thing for you, as the King of Arus, to display manners of such atrocity as what you just did."
Keith stood there listening unemotionally as Nanny ranted on, "Why the very nerve that you would do that simply because you can because you're king . . . it's . . . it's . . . it's inexcusable!"
Nanny began to feel lowly over her own behavior she was showing. She bowed her head a little and ashamedly said, "I've never displayed such deplorable behavior in all my life by chastising the King of Arus in this manner. For that, your majesty, I humbly apologize."
"That's all right, Nanny," began Keith. "As space explorers, ever since you met us after we came to Arus, you have relentlessly pursued making us behave properly. As governess, it's your duty to make sure that all that is right and proper are the standards to be achieved."
"Thank you for your understanding, your majesty," stated Nanny, her head still bowed, but her spirits lifted by Keith's words of appreciation for her work.
Keith started stepping forward to leave and as he did so, he smiled and threw in, "And I'm quite honored to see that some of our manners have begun to rub off on you."
He was just past Nanny when he finished talking and, "Ohhh!" was the reaction he got to hear from Nanny who was feeling completely embarrassed.
She followed the king back into the dining room. Then, after Keith led a table prayer, everyone finally got to eat.
Commentary: This is a very short little story, but I didn't want to combine it with Romelle's Side of the Story, and thought it best to just have it as a story by itself. With getting nanny so angry over being made to wait over and over again before she could serve the meal, I felt it necessary to create a story to conclude her anger, and it was fun to write.
