Bab 144: The Knight Who Stole Tarts

A minor incident occurred in the Castle of Hearts that day, it was in the servant's kitchen area, a place where Rosalyn Lockhart once stumbled upon but was now her frequently visited place. Yes, a very minor event occurred. It was there that the Queen of Hearts saw her Knight stealing tarts—now she wanted a trial and she wanted his head!

Well, she could have gone that way, shouted and threw a fit at this very hour. He touched her tarts without permission and she wanted to get her way. She could still do it and see if her Knight would actually use his sword and cut his own head… but that meant sacrificing an important piece. There was also the tiny fact that Mary Ann was there and so it was essentially two pieces on her side that would be sequestered by her erupting.

"Shall I carry your afternoon refreshments to your desired room, Your Majesty?" Her Knight asked and finally lifted the tray.

She could feel his gaze on her even when she didn't look his way.
