He frowned and placed his right hand on the bridge of his nose. Inhaling deeply. "Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous that is?" He asked no one in particular. "I mean I'm all for defending the crown, but my duty is to the people of this land. Just like you princess." He drew his axe and held it out for her to take. "The way I see it, you have two options. Get out there and fight, lead your people. Be a ruler that the people will look up to, and gladly follow to their deaths..." Deo said. At this point, he wasn't sure he would still be Knight's Captain tomorrow, but he wasn't sure there would still be a kingdom either, so he was taking charge. "Or you can Marry the Goblin."
