case of the missing broom 5

"What's going on here?" It was Prince Terry's voice that broke the silence.
"I can see it now, King Julian W. Granthinthon, ruler of Jupiter II, deceased.  Cause of death: murdered for the breaking then stealing of a most special broom."  King Julian sunk to his knees, his gaze lost on the floor.
"Don't say that Julian; I'm sure if we explain to Argos what happened, he will understand." King Alex came over to where the other king lay on the floor. "He is a good friend. He will forgive you Julian."
"I'm sure he would if I hadn't broken his mop last week or the cleaning-bots the week before, or accidentally dirtied his audience chamber." King Julian brought both his hands up to his face.

I can understand why King Julian is acting so dramatic over the broom accident.  King Argos is very proud as a king.  His honor is most important to him.  There is no one that has challenged it and gone unpunished.  If King Argos believes this incident to be an intrusion to his honor, there is no telling what he will do.  But, anyways...even the cleaning robots were broken by King Julian?!
King Alex gave a hopeful smiled to his friend, "Julian I'm sure there is a way to fix this without getting Argos terribly upset." He knelt down next to King Julian.

King Alex is by far the shortest of the 2 kings. At 6.3" he looks puny right next to King Julian.  However, it is remarkable that a short male like King Alex has as much power as he does.  
He is the shortest of all the Liodon kings and his built, although muscular, is not heavy.  Most of the time he acts lay-back and a little silly but there is no doubt in anybody's mind about 
his great intellect and cunning strategies. It is no coincidence that his sons are so smart. However, In my opinion, it is the King's pure heart rather than his absolute capability that 
make everybody follow him as the Supreme King of the Liodons.

"Okay. Julian this is what we are going to do for now..."
