Knight

We're standing in my throne room, with a few royal guards standing at attention about the room. I've been well trained in keeping my temper and masking my emotions, but still as I look down at Becker, back after all this time, I can't hold in the faintest tremble in my lower lip. "Good knight..." I say magnanimously, "you have fought well, and proved your worth to queen and country. In return for your valiance in combat, you will be rewarded with a parcel of land, granting you the status of lord." I give him the faintest smile, though inside I loathe that our first meeting after all this time is mostly a formality.

Not wanting to let this chance slip through my fingers, I nod my head and say "Very well. If it pleases you, you may be dismissed. However..." I study his face as I say this next part, the expression in my eyes becoming sharp. "I can only imagine the experiences you have had in these recent years. If you would like, you may join me for a more private discussion of your exploits." At that I turn and head for the door that leads out to the balcony, casting a glance over my shoulder that invites him to follow as I open the door and step through into the sunlight.

（我看著曾經無話不談的好友如今卻對我露出冷漠的表情，我不禁感到物是人非的悲傷，但顯然在如今身為女王的我亦是不能再像以前一樣在大庭廣眾下對著Knight做出任何親密的舉動，我驕矜的看著Knight行了一個吻手禮，並出言寬慰）Knight你做的很好，我與全國人民都為我們凱旋歸來的英雄感到驕傲（隨後我看向周遭的人們，我大聲宣佈）即刻下令，因本次帝國取得了重大勝利，接下來一年，全國各地賦稅不得超過一又半成，並且關稅減少半成，並於今晚舉行各位的慶功宴，希望各位好好休息後一同享受這個盛大的晚宴）

"have you been well"

"ah I see... that is understandable in your circumstance" I turn to walk "walk with me will you?"

*I look down at you as you bow befor me my long black hair cascading down my shoulders in bundles of loode curls my hair delicately facing my face my heat skipping a beat sad you kiss my hands your warm lips pressing againt my skin my red garment hugging my figure cinched at my waist the dress flared out at the bottem elegantly flowing to the floor gold scattered around the dress freckles gathered on my nose and cheeks*

*i wave my hand giving you a warm smile* "no need to be so formal you know my name" *I say with a warm smile* "a-any way welcome back-..." *I pause slightly my smile faltering a little* "t-thank you again-..." *I look away from you following your gaze*

*Queen Talia nodded to him, keeping professional in front of her subjects.* “Commander, it’s good to see you again. I trust you’ve been well?”

“And as always your loyalty is appreciated. With you as commander, I believe the kingdom and I will be in safe hands. Do you mind taking a stroll with me, commander?” *She asked and turns to walk down the corridor.*
