He's the lord, so of course he's busy... But if he's been up since dawn, He must be tired. I sat in the wooden chair in front of the fire as I had the same guitar from last night on my lap. I was deciding on what song I should play, all the songs I've learned on it was all the ones that Duke made me learn. They are all shitty songs, the only one that I did like was the one I sang last night. Then I finally got an idea of what to play, I got my fingers ready on the neck before and started strumming as I'm building up the rhythm I see someone come beside me.

" I have to get back to the training grounds. But there's a feast tonight, so i'll see you there".

" My lady, I made some warm ginger tea. I was worried you would catch a cold from being up on the castle's wall", Rose said as he placed the tray on the side table. " Thank you", I say as I sent a smile her way. " Oh, does madam know who to play the guitar?", Rose asked. " Hmm? Oh uh yeah", I answered as I scratched the back of my neck. " Could you play something than?", Rose asked as I see her eyes light up. " Oh yeah sure", I answered. She just nods before taking a seat in the other chair beside me. I place my hands back on the neck as I get my rhythm back up again before I opened my mouth.

" What can I make and what can I sell? A timeshare in heaven that's just out of hell. Am I a fraud or a genuine scam? Am I a monster or worse, just a man?"

" But in the end we're all the same, To the grave we only take our names. And there's an ocean made of dreams, But the current strands you out at sea"

" I wake up to find, The passing of time. Made my mirror show, Someone I don't know. Now with my own hands, Build castles from sand. But all kingdoms drown, As tides bring them down"

" My army has fallen, ambitions have burned.The subjects stay loyal but don't wait their turn. Now blindly they follow their king to the fray, But he has no action and they have no say"

" But in the end we're bound to change, We're made for more than all of these numbers and names. We could all go down in flames, Or put it out, relinquish these words from my mouth"

" I wake up to find, The passing of time. Made my mirror show, Someone I don't know. Now with my own hands, Build castles from sand. But all kingdoms drown, As tides bring them down. The sirens they sing, Laments just for me. I fall to my knees, And beg for release. When my kingdom comes, My will be undone. My world then decides, Where to hang my hide"

" In the end we're bound to change. Bound to change, We could all go down in flames"

" Maybe one day you'll find humanity, Until then don't you dare say that we are the same..."

I let go of the neck of the guitar as I looked back at Rose to see that here eyes were shining with amazement. " I didn't know madam could sing like that", She got out as she looked at me with wide eyes. " O-oh thank you", I thanked as I placed the guitar at the side of the chair. Before grabbing the tea and talking a sip of it. She is a very nice women . It's nice and warm. " Ah... I made a grave mistake earlier this morning and right now. Please... forgive me madam", Rose stuttered out as she got out of her set and bowing down in front of me. " It's alright , It didn't make me uncomfortable. I'm in your care from now on...", I explained as I looked up to her with a warm smile. " After seeing those boisterous knights everyday, I finally get to serve this kind and beautiful madam....!", Rose said in a moved tone. Before I knew she was holding my hands in hers as she knelt to the ground in front of me. " I'll take such great care of you from now on, my lady!", Rose exclaimed. Everyone here is like Riftan, strangely kind and unpredictable.
