King Mallow sat at his throne and brooded, as he always did. The weather was cloudy, as usual. The castle was quiet, as it often was. And his servants tried their best to do their activities in silence, so as not to disturb him as he watched the door in front of him.
There were several scars across his face. He was not fit for marriage any longer, and so he would rule Nimbus Land with quiet power, as he was always fated to do.
He would seethe in anger and wait.
Wait until... something. He didn’t know. He didn’t make the rules.
As long as everyone was quiet and calm, he probably wouldn’t explode.
And naturally, at this moment, the castle doors slammed open and a Parakoopa came flapping in, holding a letter. “Delivery for King Mallow!” he shouted.
The Parakoopa handed him a letter and then bid his adieu. Mallow was left with a large envelope in his hands, encased with the royal seal of House Toadstool. What could this... be?
He opened it up, and what he saw brought a scowl to his face, his scars tensing up and lighting zipped out of his very being.
It was a series of photographs. Black-and-white, showing Princess Peach laughing while sitting by a fireplace in her castle. And next to her, holding hands with her, was none other than the Demon Lordess, the Molten Menace herself... Bowsette.
The Mushroom Kingdom was a sham. Princess Peach was a callous and devil of a woman. Mallow’s entire life had been ruined by that monster; she defeated him in combat, stole the precious Sonic Cymbals, and had the Mushroom Armies invade Nimbus Land, destroying his family in the process. And yet, despite all that, she was making her way back towards the throne without even the least bit resistance?
He crushed the photographs in his hands, and sparks flew out of his mouth while he growled.
Revenge was all he could think about.
