“It’s a shame too. He is missing out on a feat, a gem. You have a heart of gold, my friend,” the woman commented. It was true that there were men who didn’t fancy people of the same gender. Oh, she could relate to his heartaches to some extent. Their sex preference might as well be one of the many reasons why they befriended with each other. Of course, there was more to it than just finding each other for their usual taste. “Really? I never thought of you as a man with a keen eye for luxury. This is certainly a surprise,” she continued with a sly smile.
Despite Braithwaite’s intimidating height, he was as gentle as a little bird. He preferred peace over violence which has gotten her wonder why he would get sucked into fighting so easily. It wouldn’t be unruly to think Hollyanne was the brawl instigator but most of the time, she acted out on noble cause.
Oh, that was a lie.
It might as well be a very good one if her brother-in-arms thought she was simply eager to carry out duties as a knight again. True, the older woman did miss her previous occupation. It kept her busy and she was able to travel a lot. Responsibilities negated all the pleasures that came with the prestigious title but alas, that was a minor detail. Her addiction to violence and adrenaline rush were veiled by noble gestures. The King saw through her intentions, and that was the reason why her title as a Knight was revoked. “What is wrong with you, having a sense of adventure is all part of youth. Don’t grow too old on me all of the sudden,” the women pouted.
He ruffled her hair and to return the favour, her outstretched fingers flicked his forehead. “You need to be more ambitious… or less lazy. It gets you to places.” Leaning on the spear, she looked back at the closed doors. “What are your plans now if you’re off duty? Since you’re off duty, you’re probably invited to eat at the dining hall too. Stuff away a few jams and pastries for me, will you? I’ll die starving by the end of the reception. Festivities are never cut short with royals. Everything has to be long and grand.” Oh, now she was just looking forward to the King sixtieth anniversary. Now that promised long patrolling shifts.
