The Outlaw and his Queen [WIP]

Chapter 3 - Rose

When she was sure Gillion and all of his companions were gone, Rose attempted her "vacation."

"Going somewhere, Rose?" a familiar voice asked.

"Ah, Trou. You startled me," Rose said to her head butler and close friend. "I was just heading out, because, you know.

"Since Gillion is away, yes. Something you always do and that you always ask for my help for. Except today."

"Ah, yes. Well you see, Trou, I'm going somewhere, special," Rose said, trying to explain what she was doing to Trou without telling him where she was going. "Well, I better get going."

"You're going to the Outlands, aren't you?"

Rose froze in her tracks.

"I know you miss him, Rose,but it's going to be harder sneaking in as an Outlaw than it is entering as Queen. Plus, you already have a Queen coin, and it will be most difficult to find an Outlaw coin."

Trou made a good point. Plus, he was one of Rose's most trusted advisors.

"If still not convinced, Gillion was planning to do the five year Outlands inspection today, so it would be less suspicious if you went in his place."

"Okay then," Rose finally said. "You are still going to help me, right?"

Trou nodded. "Of course, anything for a friend like you."
