Lucius watched as the guard came in, he frowned slightly as he rose from the floor. The royal guard took princess Octavia away, yes Lucius thought, she had to be tired after all. He did not recognize the guard, nor should he have. The capital guards were just a bunch of errand boys who did little fighting at the front. He doubted if the this, brown haired boy had seen any action at all. What really bothered Lucius was how he casually strode in and whisked away the princess as if she was his. True, it was his duty but at the same time Lucius would never have interrupted official business with one such as the king. 

The wizard was actually quiet surprised to see that the King would grant him his wish and for that he was especially grateful. It was not every day the title of sir was given out, and not only would it be a prestigious honor but he hoped it would be taken more seriously from his superiors. 

Lucius bowed slightly as he spoke to the king, [color=gold] "Thank you, my king. I shall depart now to prepare myself for tomorrow." [/color] He backed away slightly, still bowing. Then he turned around and walked away. His footsteps echoed in the great hall and facial expression was that of gratitude but underneath it all, there was a bit of envy. 

Lucius was only a soldier after all, no actually, he was just a human. There was no chance for what he had been thinking.
