It surprised the trio that you were actually thinking on your decision, they should be chosen not the king.”Are you really thinking over this?” Finally Gippal asked disappointed.
Balthier looked hurt more than anything.”Come with us, you owe nothing to the king. Last time I checked, he was the one who tried to get rid of you, so why are you even giving him this hesitation from your part?”
“You know why, if I do go with you then they WILL seek for your heads. “ You turned away from them.” It’s as if I was leading to hell.”
Reno shook his head with pain in his eyes for what he just heard.” You should know better than that, you took the responsibility of leaving the kingdom when you wanted us safe! Now it’s our turn, if it means that then so be it, we are not letting you do this, not for that bastard.”
Their words cut you deeply and you knew that they were indeed correct, but why did you feel that your duty is to stay at the king’s side and...The hell with it!” I’m in.” Finally you made the decision, your friends were correct. What has the king done for you? Nothing, he treated you like his only ticket to an alliance, nothing more. Besides, your mother didn’t even defend you when you needed her the most, so why did you even hesitate? And to add another thing to the list, it wasn’t like he needed you to fight at his side, that would actually be a better option that would make you help the king, but marriage?...Nope.
That brought their smirks back on their faces.”Finally.” Gippal shook his head.
You on the other hand frowned.”I..almost forgot...” And the four fine gentlemen outside were waiting for you and you doubted that they would just let you walk out of the kingdom.
Reno raised an eyebrow.”Now what?”
Laughing nervously you glanced at the door.” My so called protectors or guardians are outside...” you then glanced at them,” they stick to me like shit on a shoe.”
Gippal rolled his eye-since he has an eyepatch and all that- and sighed.”Great comparison.”
“Oh shut up, how are we going to get rid of them? They never leave my side.” Whinnying you told them.
They didn’t seem surprised at all, now it was your turn to raise your eyebrow. The grin on their faces then proved to you that they had it all solved. “That should be no problem, but for now you should go back to the castle and when the time comes, you should hear one knock and a pause, thee knocks should follow. That should be the sign and guess what is the most surprising thing?” Reno informed and laughed even more.
“What?”
“You’ll be walking out of the castle, not from the window like you did before.” Balthier shared a good toothy grin of his.
Balthier-as the gentleman he is- opened the door for you so that you could get going. Basically, you were pushed outside and you guessed why, they still have a few things to polish. It was so like them, which made you laugh. The males soon gather around and walked behind you and watching around to make sure that there was no harm around you.
