Kyes POV:
I, Kye, stood tall and proud, my eyes fixed on Anastasia as she addressed me. "I know you will, my love," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

As the others left the chamber, Anastasia's gaze never wavered from mine. She reached out a hand and touched my face, her fingers tracing the lines of my jaw. I felt a shiver run down my spine as her eyes seemed to bore into my soul.

I was entranced, almost hypnotized, as she leaned in closer. "Kye, My King," she whispered, her breath tickling my ear. "I have a special task for you. One that requires utmost discretion and loyalty."

I nodded, my mind racing with possibilities. What could she ask of me that required such secrecy?

"Follow Adam and Mary," she instructed, her eyes glinting with a hint of mischief. "Find out their secrets, their weaknesses. And report back to me."

I nodded again, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew that this was a dangerous game we were playing, but I was willing to do whatever it took to serve Anastasia.

As she withdrew her hand, I felt a pang of loss. But I knew that I had to maintain my composure, for Anastasia's sake as well as my own.

I bowed my head, my mind already racing with strategies and plans. I would do whatever it took to protect Anastasia and help her claim her rightful place on the throne.

For I was Kye, her loyal servant, and I would stop at nothing to serve my queen.
