Case of The Missing Broom 9

"Well, you see..." King Julian paused for a moment and started rubbing his bearded chin. "You heard of Argos' new broom?"
"The RX3000? of course; he is very proud of his broom after all. The RX3000 is a five-in-one ultra high-powered cleaning mechanism in a sleek design and light weight material, King Verchau's new prototype! So what about it? Why did you mentioned it uncle?"
"I broke it."
"Haha! You broke it...wait, hah?!!" Prince Kaz's jaw dropped.
Prince Terry had been giving his brother a bewildered stare then, he finally asked. "Kaz did you really know all that about that broom or are you repeating what King Argos said to you?"
"Forget that! What do you mean the RX3000 is broken? How did Uncle Argos react?"
"He doesn't know yet. Uncle, here, is trying to fix it before he finds out."
"That's where my two dear nephews come in." King Julian smiled and placed his hands on Kaz's and Terry's shoulders. Kaz moved away from him.
"Hold on a minute! We refer to all the kings as uncles whether we are related by blood or not. But, when you uncle Julian, refer to us as nephews you are about to ask us something crazy." Prince Kaz paused and thought for a moment, "...uncle? You can't mean for me to fix the RX3000!"
King Julian gave Kaz a pleading look. His brown eyes captured the surrounding light and released it back in a shimmering display; like a pool reflecting the sun. His lower lip came forward a little and slanted downwards.
Kaz was now staring at his own reflection on those expectant eyes. "No! No! No! don't give me your puppy eye attack!" The prince tried turning away, but the king held his gaze, "Argh! No, Darn it!" The prince sighed, "fine! I surrender!"
King Julian smiled, very pleased with himself.
