The Lore Chapter 13

At Terrasen

*Knock* *Knock* "Come in" Tyrus's voice was muffled from behind the door "Your Majesty" Mila the Malicious, Captain of the Evil Royal Guard comes in and bows, helmet tucked under her arm "Speak" Tyrus is seen at his desk doing paperwork, back facing towards her "Princess Julianne was taken," she says in a calm tone. They paused for a moment not saying anything till Tyrus suddenly got up and smacked a stack of papers that was on his desk. "What do you mean?!" he says turning around, getting closer to her "It appears she picked the lock" she responds as Tyrus is in her face, she looks away still in a calm manner. "With what?! Her thumbs???" he questions "Her hairpin actually..." Mila says more quietly, Tyrus makes a groan that sounds more agitated "Calm down... 'Tyrii' " Both Tyrus and Mila turn to the source of the voice.

Morales the Mad, Lieutenant of the guard is leaning on the open doors, arms crossed and duly noted that he is in an improper position and tone with the 'king' "Watch your tongue Morales, you address me as king Tyrus or your majesty-" "Cut it out, we all know she just crowned you king because she was biased aaaaand... we grew up together." Morales said interrupting him again. Tyrus starts to approach Morales a bit more annoyed and stops there "Did I pluck your feathers Tyriiiiiiii?" Morales said smugly "FIRST, of all she appointed me because I was the most eligible to lead-" "Please, a monkey could do better than you" "TWO! I can't calm down if Julianne is gone! Lucky-" "Gave you orders to capture an ally to Terrasen, yeah yeah, but just know if you didn't have Elise by your side, you and I know you'd be nothing but another servant in this castle," He says dully "I, was the captain before Mila meaning if I hadn't left, you wouldn't be standing here either so I think you'd better have more respect towards me." "Don't really care about standings as much as you do, that's your problem" he says slurring his words "I don't have a problem about that-" "You treating everybody differently depending on their rank, doesn't seem pretty fair to me," Morales says "If I didn't know any better I'd think you were judging me on how I rule" Morales chuckles and shakes his head slowly then says "Well do you?" "Do I what?" Tyrus said confused, "Know better." That was the final straw for Tyrus, he pointed his finger past Morales "Out." "Never stepped in," Morales said as he insinuated how he was still leaning on the door behind the line that marks where his room begins "Out. Both of you out!" Tyrus says a bit louder and both make their way, as the doors close Tyrus can hear behind the door the muffled conversation between Morales and Mila.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Well I do have a reputation to uphold" Morales says proudly

"I swear you're gonna get yourself killed one day" she says

"ONE day, not today" he responds

"You're mad" she says back and chuckles at the end

"Don't wear it out!" he retorts.

"Also Our Esteemed Majesty herself has set me up to this task to see if that dude can take the pressure or if he would betray her."

(What would he know?!) Tyrus is picking up the papers he smacked from the ground (It's ridiculous, ludicrous even! I can't with that big, self-absorbed, annoying, PIG SON OF A-)

*knock* *knock*

A knock interrupts Tyrus's train of thought "Go away" he said still crouched on the floor away from the door

*knock* *knock*

"Didn't you hear me?! I said-" as Tyrus makes his way to the door to give the person a piece of his mind, all thoughts about that stop once he opens the door. He smiles. For his queen has arrived.

"Ah! Hello my dear" Tyrus said with a quick change of mood "Tyrus. Is everything alright? You seemed out of it?" asked Queen Elise "Just some civil disobedience is all" Tyrus said as he jaw became a bit strained at the end of the sentence. "Honey, you know I can tell if something is bothering you, you know I'm always there for you." Elise sweetly replied. "I'm fine." Elise continues staring at him. "...Who am I kidding, ever since Lucky throned me I've been on edge. We grew up together, but she became queen and had many attempts on her life. She changed, she used to be so kind and understanding. Not that I would ever admit it." Tyrus opened his arms and Elise leaned in and gave him a hug. Tyrus turned his head slightly and pecked Elise on the cheek. "Thank you, my love" They sit like that in each other's arms for a few minutes.
