There we are.
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, "Thank you, my king. I shall depart now to prepare myself for tomorrow." 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.
Hmm, thought more people would attempt to go. Yeah, this didn't work out haha. Man what a bummer.
Lucius also gave a small bow to the demon, something that he hoped no one had really seen. He simply looked at the creature and gave a grunt. He probably would see him on the battlefield and soldiers did what they had to, but he hoped that it wouldn't come to that. It was a fleeting feeling.

As Octavia spoke he pondered her words, did he really want to meet thing King? He had not thought about it, would there even be a reward? No no no, the reward was the fact he got an Angel away from the darkness. He would be happy with that but if the King did offer one, well it was rude to refuse one with so much power and he did not want to be that guy.

Lucius, quite oblivious, simply said, "I had not thought about meeting your father, princess, but to simply see you home without harm. I know that he is powerful and under his watchful gaze you will be most protected. So yes, I will accompany you to the capital, whatever the circumstances."

The walk was, quite frankly, boring but Lucius did get to see a lot of scenic views and he liked that. Upon arriving at the castle, he was impressed with architecture. Having never really been to the capital before he was stricken by its beauty. Feelings of warmth and light radiated into him and it was a wonderful experience.

As they walked into the great hall, Lucius became incredibly nervous- was he really about to meet the King? The one who was there at the beginning, who had created them all! The king's presence washed over him like a wave, it was so grand and splendid. Before Octavia even got close to her father, Lucius was on his knees, head bowed in the greatest respect.

He listened to what they had to say to each other and then the king spoke to him, so he was offering a reward but what could he possibly ask for, or even want for that matter? Material items washed flickered in his mind, the king did say anything but what did he want? Then it came to him.

He rose his head slightly and looked at the king, his expression was one of awe, "M-Mi'lord. I am but a humble servant of the light, and it was my duty as a soldier of the realm to protect that which is most precious to you. All I ask in return for this duty is the official title of "Sir." Mainly because I think Sir Lucius, sounds amazing. If you could do this, I would be honored. Thank you, mi'lord."

With that said, Lucius bowed his head in respect once more.
"The trek will be long and tiring."


After a few hours of walking, they arrived at the castle.


I laughed a bit.
@Ace of flames01 there! Short post but I felt like that was the only thing going on.
The trip back to the border was relatively quite, nothing out of the ordinary happened and Lucius was thankful for that. The demon general, like he had said previously, followed them to the border. It was such an odd group and such a miracle that no one else saw them, at least he hoped so.

Finally they reached their destination and a wave of relief washed over Lucius, there is was- home. He even had an angel save him and his skin, what a tale to tell the boys back at the barracks. But as he thought of the army, he kept glancing at the angel. She would definitely need an escort home, he didn't think she could be trusted by herself yet, even though she had wings and could get back faster. Nah, where was the fun in that?

He coughed, clearing his throat, "Umm, princess? I think I will accompany you to the capital, for safety reasons, of course. It would absolutely distress me if you did not return to the safety of your father."

Completely forgot that I have a paper due tomorrow, so i'm going to go back on my previous statement. However, I shall post tomorrow after classes.
I'm going to pass this time, I'll try to make a post tomorrow!
@Ace of flames01Are you going to go or is some else? I'd go but I don't want to tbe the guy that's like, "Boom there at the border" in case people want to do their own thing.

Edit- not Narcotic dollie, my bad, hit the wrong mention button haha
