"I don't need a man to take care of me,"
With a big smirk on my face I speak out the last bit of my sentence. "I am the man."

The kingdoms of Orena are starting to see hard times. They've started to slowly get...

The booming voice of our King can be heard through the door even before we get quite close to the study room.
"What do you mean..." Our King's voice lowers down to a murmur that we can't hear. "-is missing? That is impossible!"
Kace and I look at each other in surprise. Our King has never been this loud or distressed while talking if something has been missing.
Our faces turn emotionless and serious when the guard that took us to the study room opens the door. He bows to us and we give him a curt nod in thank you and get inside.
The scene in front of us surprises me.
King Alarik is gripping his whiskey glass tightly while talking fast in hushed but harsh words to the guard who is bearing the bad news.
Queen Ríona is keeping a hold of Alarik's hand, physically relaxing him and stopping him from attacking the poor guard.
She looks to the direction we are in when the loud boom of the door is heard behind us.
We both cringe a little at the loud noise and Alarik stops his harsh talking to look at us.
He clears his throat and shows the guard that he is free to go. He quickly bows to the pair in front of us and mumbles an acknowledgement to us too.
"I'm sorry you had to see that..." He clears his throat once more and loosens the hard grip on the glass, making the Queen take her hands off of him. She comes over to us.
"My beautiful baby is back. And of course we can't forget the handsome best friend."
She smiles widely at us as she takes a grip on my cheeks, shaking my head a little. I laugh and take a light hold on her wrists.
"We came as we were requested, King and Queen." We bow down and Ríona slaps us both on the back of our heads.
"Ow!" Kace hisses out.
"How many times have I said to just call us by our names? You two are ridiculous for bowing and all the other shit!" My eyes widen at her language and keep the laugh that wants to get out.
Even Alarik gets surprised. "Now now love, no need to use that kind of language." She looks back at her husband in disbelief, putting her hands on her hips sassily. "I'll talk however I want, thank you very much."
Alarik puts his hands up in mocking surrender and lets a smile come on his lips. Ríona turns back to us. "Now what are you gonna call me?"
"Ríona and Alarik," I roll my eyes when she gives us two thumbs ups. Alarik interrupts our little happy moment.
"I'm sorry for the sudden call for you two, but we have met with even more problems than the ships." His eyebrows scrunch together at the word 'problem'. "Before I get into that though I wanted to ask you Anna, did you get the dagger back?"
