As every year, the kings who work the least in the world are already here (I mean the imaginary ones). Melchor with his thick white beard copied from Santa Claus and leader wood is a capitalist guiri who actually subcontracted the other two kings for the mission. William Melchor Smith.
Gaspar is a king of Hispanic-Italian origin. He brings the first one through the path of bitterness, stopping at all the sales that are found with the intention of, as he says "to give the camels a drink". But the worst thing is not that he is always delaying the group but that he is continually fighting with the pages of the others and with his own. When it is not for football, it is for politics and when it is not, it is simply because they started
with the taunts and end up in clean blows, entangled in any bend in the road... quite a show. One using the crown as a knuckle duster and the pages kicking each other grabbing each other by the neck. And it is not until Melchor turns around (who always goes first) that they stop hitting and insulting each other:
- Gaspar, my son, could you give a little example, don't you think? - he rebukes him with his grave, measured voice and accent from the Rota base - and next time, don't give the camels so much to drink that they get full...
The one with the brown beard looks at him with narrowed eyes and a reddened nose, almost staggering, nods affirmatively with his head. But what enters one ear must leave the other because after ten
minutes he is already starring in another mess.
Baltasar is the one who speaks the least, he is the king who almost always precedes the first two. I don't think he feels safe yet within this "tri-kingdom". In principle he was not going to march as a monarch but as a page, but taking into account the enviable university education and his exquisite manners Melchor used his influences to have the papers processed and he already has blood as blue as the others. However, in decisions he is almost never taken into account. When there is a difference of monastic opinions, either Melchor reminds him who is in charge, or Gaspar makes a xenophobic joke without bad intention but of dubious grace.
Baltasar ends up not wanting to interfere and accept his role in the mission, after all, he is Muslim.
