After receiving his food from Eric, Samsul dug in and only spoke every once and a while. There wasn't much else to say between the two of them, so he simply kept quiet and continued to eat until he finished his meal. He still might have been guarding her for the sake of earning the title, but he knew well that he was slowly growing to appreciate the job and everything that it entailed. She would be the queen soon, and when knew got out about that, she'd need a strong and capable guard with her at all times. As he finished up, he escorted her to her room like the previous night and bid her farewell.

The next morning, Samsul had done everything that he needed to do and left to go and guard Anastasia's room like he did the day before. As he got there, he encountered a guard who was very tired. Samsul wasn't sure about how long he had been there, but after hearing the guard mutter something about sleep, the Lost Elf relieved him of duty and stood at his post, only to have Anastasia open the door and smile at him. It was still very early in the morning, so he wondered why she was up at such an hour. "Good morning to you as well. Might I ask why you are up? You could still get another hour of sleep if you so wished."
