Chapter 64: Kneel

(From Demetrius's Perspective)

It was a good day today. My wife had gone to meet Luc. I was sure that she would have a good time. Even though I hated to admit it, Luc would be a good company for her for the time being. I wished I could spend more time with her, but as I was the king, there was no chance of that. 

Her knight was reliable as well. Ezekiel was young, but he was the first one who caught my attention in the training ground. He vowed to protect her at all costs and he was loyal. After some thought, I decided that it would be better if she had one guard with her. I had thought of assigning more guards for her, but it would not be a good choice. In that way, she would attract more attention and danger at the same time. Besides, Ezekiel alone was perfectly capable of protecting her. 

He did not talk if not necessary. It was not much of a bad thing. He only needed to carry out his duty.
