The gladiator and the princess

Robert smiled and nodded, "being raised as a person that was meant to go into the army then that's no problem for me then you handle the politics I can handle the army." He smiled slightly, "it's also another reason I'm taking the throne is because I don't want to keep putting up appearances just for them to suspect were not together when we are in the long shot."

The gladiator and the princess

Robert sighed to that question, opening his eyes and looking down at her. His arms were around her stomach, "I've been thinking about the whole king thing and stuff while you were gone as long as I have you by my side then yes I will I will take the throne to be king though I'm not a political guy to deal with but I can try." He rested his chin on top of her head, "there are doubts yes but I'll get through them either way."

Robert laughed to that, before he got on his knees. Picking up the box, he opened it a small smile graced his lips. Before the ring, was held out toward her. "You got it back and I can trust you with it," it wasn't much just a gold and silver band. The helmet went by the chest his armor was in, he still held the ring box toward her.

A smile that he only showed to her now, showed on his face. Sliding the box toward her, before sitting back down on his knees. He yawned slightly, but otherwise it didn't show that he was tired.

Robert smiled and chuckled a bit, "as you wish." Once she left the room, he laid back down on the bed. Sighing and putting his arm over his eyes, he would follow what lauralye had told him. He let his mind drift for the hours that he was alone. He wasn't as upset as he was when he first found out it was gone though it still stung when he thought about his mother.

Sitting up again, he looked to his armor on the floor. He got one of the chests, putting it in there and putting it under the bed for now. Then getting back on the bed and laying down again, it was peaceful for now but he knew it would end he didn't know when.

Robert shook his head, "he took it my helmet and my mothers ring the last thing I had of her gone." A strangled sigh escaped his lips, he kept his gaze to the floor he was shaking lightly. Swallowing, "I knew something was up he came to me first more than anyone else he was searching for things whenever I saw him now the ring and my helmet is gone."

Robert woke up to find Joseph missing he sighed, rubbing his face slightly. He didn't want to get up, looking around finding his armor scattered everywhere. Then he checked his pocket, his eyes widening in fear. He got to his feet quickly, quickly picking up his armor, putting it in a neat file in a part of the room. He looked around the room not finding the ring, he mentally cursed himself.

His brows creased, only other person that would take it is Joseph. He clenched his fist, letting out a strangled sigh to that. Before he plopped back down on the bed, holding his face in his hand. The little guy took it his helmet too, he was probably outside the walls by now with the ring and the helmet.

The kid had acted way to nice, had ran to him. Stupid street rat, the last thing he had of his mother gone. Swallowing pressing the heel of his palm into his eyes trying not to lose it trying not to break. He had promised he wouldn't lose the thing, now it's gone along with the helmet two good things gone probably sold off. He didn't want to go anywhere, not anymore.

Trying to save the world (Xion and Caits)

Michael shrugged, before he felt a tap on his shoulder. Looking over his shoulder, he saw Tory standing behind him. She held out a communicator to him, "I didn't want to put us into more trouble they threatened me and......I just couldn't let them." Michael put his hands on her shoulders, "do they know about this?" She shook her head "no," he nodded.

Connors eyes widened, "don't just don't I don't need that to happen." Michael laughed, before he turned serious again, "alright kali goes and sees what's under ground I'll cause a distraction for the others to get inside I'll go to furys office the other will get the head spy but won't do anything to harm him kali already said that he's hers."

Robert nodded to that, he smiled softly down at her. She released him, letting a sigh escape his lips. "I guess princess," he kissed the top of her head. "Just don't work to hard," as he stepped back into the secret passages. Once he was back in the halls, making his way toward the barracks. Seeing the ex-slaves already working with the swords. Frowning slightly, before he stepped forward correcting a few stances here and there.

He called out each stroke for stroke, so they could get used to the rhythm. A couple of hours passed before he told them to take a break. He watched as they got some water, and sitting down talking amount themselves. He would join a conversation here and there whenever he could. Before long they were, back at it though he wasn't calling out the strokes.

Before long he had them stop for the night, they were good people and if they were given the right motivation they would protect this country with there lives. Robert would have to get them armor, just like his if they were going to fight in this war. Nodding slightly to himself at that, he walked back to there room before he saw Joseph.

"What are you doing out here?" Joseph turned to him before running up, gripping Roberts leg tightly. "I don't want to sleep by myself Robert I don't." He felt the metal of his helmet against his leg, Robert sighed slightly. Before picking the kid up, "alright then you can sleep with me then." Joseph's eyes widened before he hugged Robert around the neck mumbling thank yous into his neck. Once back at the room, he set Joseph down.

Getting out of the armor, and only into his jeans he laid down on the bed, just for Joseph to get on his chest and go out like a light. Robert smiled to himself, before falling asleep himself an arm around the kid on top of him.

The gladiator and the princess

Robert nodded to her words, relaxing somewhat. A small sigh escaping his lips, "I know you wished we didn't I know. I'll think about it, you have my word on that ill think about it, but if I turn it down it wont matter i'll still be by your side." his gauntleted hands held hers, another sigh escaping his lips. Looking at there hands then up to her face, "I cant make any promises that ill become king but I will think on it for now see if I do or don't."
