章 58: Fifty-Eight

Because of the war, all heavily proficient knights were training new soldiers at our soldiers compounds, or leading platoons to war. We had originally only meant to help with supplies but over the last month we joined physically too. Because of this fact my bodyguard was hesitant to be here alone, because it was a little creepy honestly. I was so used to hearing so much noise, it was odd to say the least to not hear anything from anyone here. Only my 'knight in shining armor' as the King called him, getting more and more irritating that man is, and has been attempting to get me to call him sir knight. I had bitten his hand when he said that and started to attempt to convince me of it, while my guard stood thunderstruck by the interaction. I had proceeded to kick him and call him a hopeless king, and that I felt bad for the Queen, and he had sat in a corner, drawing circles with his finger. Needless to say I gave no sympathy and simply walked off and left him, leaving the Queen in a fit of hysterical giggles. I have slowly stopped caring about ranks, after all it's not much of a difference anymore, I was directly under the king and queen and their sons, but they were the only ones above me. I also didn't like that. I don't like being so far 'above' others as the instructor I had been forced to see had said. I still remember that day vividly.
