Chapter 131: Kai Part 4: Clown Apocalypse 2: Honks From The Sky!
A few weeks later the duke made a full recovery, and the duchess couldn't be happier. With their job done, the two started packing their belongings. The duke and duchess had agreed to let them set up their clinic in their territory on the condition that they pretended that Chuckles the clown nurse was the real doctor in front of the public.
Even though they are of higher nobility, this particular law was established by the founders of their kingdom, and even a relative of the king can't circumvent it easily. If they were found breaking that law, it could lead to all manner of complications for their household.
Which is why a few months later.
"HANG THE WITCH!"
It would seem that in spite of the duke's best efforts to keep the matter of the female Dr. Fun practicing medicine a secret, the information had still somehow made its way into the capital. The duke had come under suspicion of harboring a witch and not long after a group of knights were dispatched to investigate the rumors. Unfortunately, the knights were less than friendly to the duke due to him being from an opposing political faction. Hence, he had arrested Dr. Fun who just so happened to bump into them on her way home after picking up some groceries.
Their plan was to find some suspicious looking woman from the duke's territory they could frame for witchcraft, then they would accuse the duke of being in league with demons. Though, they were completely unaware that the woman they had arrested was actually guilty of the crimes they accused her of.
She had swiftly been kidnapped to the capital before the duke had a chance to object, and by the time they had figured out where the mute woman had disappeared to, it was already too late to do anything. Being mute, she had no way to efficiently communicate her defense, and she was found guilty. She was sentenced to death by hanging in the capital.
"HANG THE WITCH!"
A large crowd of people gathered in the plaza to watch the mute Dr. Fun walking up on stage with her hands bound. She had been stripped of her normal clothes and was currently wearing rags. The only thing she had been permitted to keep was her smiley mask, because no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to remove it from her face.
The crowd was cheering for the doctor's death as the soldiers wrapped a noose around her neck. Just as the executioner was about to pull the leaver that would open the trap door beneath her feet.
*Honk**Honk**Crash*
A clown car came falling from the sky, landing right on top of the executioner.
"WHERE DID THAT METAL BOX COME FROM?!" The captain of the knights yelled in surprise.
Soon after, the car door opened and a hoard of clowns came rushing out, and much like Coco village, they all started making balloon animals and throwing pastries at people. However, unlike Coco village, there were actually trained soldiers here to stop them.
"DIE YOU-!"
*BANG*
Just as one of the knights managed to stab one of the clowns, it exploded into a shockwave of confetti, that caused the man to lose his balance and fall backwards. He then got stomped on by another one of the clowns, who then slipped and ended up farting after falling on top of the man's face.
As the knights were about to turn the last of the clowns into confetti, suddenly.
*Honk*Honk*
*Honk*Honk*
*Honk*Honk*
*Honk*Honk*
*Honk*Honk*
*Honk*Honk*
It was raining clown cars. As the crowd started panicking from the sudden rain of clown cars falling from the sky, the knights found themselves overwhelmed by clowns as the angry mob of people was soon replaced with an army of clowns.
"THAT IS ENOUGH! ALL OF YOU FOUL CREATURES RETURN TO WHENCE YOU CAME OR I KILL THE WITCH!" The knight captain shouted as he held his blade to Dr. Fun's neck.
However, it seemed to have no effect on the crowd of rampaging clowns, as they just kept doing goofs and gags without care for the collateral damage they were inflicting on whoever got caught in the crossfire. There was even a group of clown soldiers having a pie war between themselves somewhere in the back of the crowd.
"THERE IT'S-!"
*BOOM*
Just as the captain slit her throat, Dr. Fun exploded into confetti just like the clowns. However, her shockwave was much stronger than the other ones and the knight captain was launched into the crowd of clowns going wild at the foot of the stage.
"CAPTAIN!" The knights screamed as they watched him disappear under a sea of clowns.
