The sole protector-
Chapter 5-
“Oh, Sunrise, why? Why couldn’t I have had more training? I don’t even know how to act around the King!” I complained. Sunrise neighed in return. “I knew you would understand! But seriously, what am I going to do?”

At the castle--
“When the meetings are being conducted, you will stand to the left of the throne not the right since you are NOT my advisor. The only time you will stand to my right is during the war council meetings. Although I find those meetings pointless they are necessary. If we are invaded by the Rherrakath, the Gledriloth must NOT fall. For now, the hunt must continue. You have a horse do you not?”
“Yes your majesty.”
“Good, you will prepare her and be back in the courtyard in half an hour.”
“Yes your majesty.”

In the courtyard--
“Adeline!”
“Yes, your majesty?”
“We are going hunting with a group from Aredien. They have a warrior with them. Do NOT socialize with him.”
“Wait………………………… there is a warrior nearby, and you don’t want me to socialize with him?”
“No I do not. He would distract you from your duties. If you are distracted from your duties, Gledriloth will fall. We would all either be killed, enslaved, or worse.”
“What could be worse than death or enslavement?”
“I pray that we never find out. For now, just obey my orders.”
**Sigh** “yes, your majesty.”
“Is your horse prepared?”
“Yes your majesty.”
“Mount, and stand at the gate to receive the Arediens.”
Thinking that I would try a new name for the king, I said. “Yes sire.”
“What did you say?!”
“I said, yes sire.”
“Dismount and come here.”
“Yes, your majesty.” I answered quietly.
“Turn around.”
“yes your majesty.”
CRACK!CRACK! CRACK!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” I cried out in pain. I thought to myself. He whipped me. Crap! That hurt!
“Never call me sire! That is what the Rherrakath’s call their King.” The Gledriloth’s call me majesty or highness. Never ever sire.”
“Yes majesty,”
“Mount your horse again, and go to the gate.”

At the gate-
Clip, clop ,Clip, clop, Clip, clop.
“The Arediens are here! The Arediens are here!” the crier cried. I automatically went into full warrior riding stance. *Shoulders back, left hand in fist at side, and right hand holding reins 3 inches above the saddle.
“Announcing King Nathaniel, King of the Arediens.” The crier called.
When the King entered the gate, I bowed a low stiff bow.
“Welcome to Gledriloth, your highness.”
The King glared at me and indicating that we should move along.
I nodded and said, “Your highness, this way. King Peter is in the courtyard waiting.
