Chapter 48: Prep Work

"The queen."

"Yep."

"The queen, of SYLPHIA?!"

"Yep."

"Why is she even here?! How did she even get here?!" Larry asked in shock.

"Long story short, her brother wants his arse on the throne. And he wants to get rid of her."

"And she wants us to protect her?"

"Particularly me, until we reach Tendo. So we need to head there soon."

"So you're the queen of Sylphia...," Seth eyed her. "I haven't seen a beauty quite like you before."

"Seth, no flirting. We got work to do. Pardon him. I'm Larry Silverheart, the to-be king of this place."

I had to serve as the translator here... so it got a little awkward.

"I-I see. So the revolution was a success?"

"Thanks to the kid," Larry pointed at me. "Anyways, we're gonna be on a trip to Tendo soon, after we deal with Nexus. In the meantime, you should get some rest. It must've been tiring to get here."

"Yes, I thank you for your kindness," she nodded, walking off towards the showers.

"Come on Seth, stop ogling and get your ass moving, we've got work to do. Kid, we'll be back tomorrow or so. I've got some stuff to do in the morning."

"What's gonna happen to Nexus and Wallace?" I asked.

"Well, there's been discussions. And people obviously want him dead. We want him dead. Because of the royal family, my mother got murdered after those soldiers had their way with her. It's a public execution."

"I see."

You're thinking of the child.

Claire? I mean, yeah. She does have something to do with Wallace.

That's for her do deal with. You need to take care of the queen.

I know, but...

You can't help everyone, Raibo. You know that.

I... I'll tell her, at least.

Sylphia peeked around the corner, looking at me.

"Raito, I have a question for you."

"What's the prob- oh god why are you undressed?!"

"I was going to bathe, but I do not understand how this works..."

"At least have the decency to cover yourself. You're a queen aren't you...?" I looked away.

"I thought it would be easier for you to trust me that way."

"HOW?!"

"It would be easier to trust me if you saw my body. You still seem suspicious of me."

"That doesn't condone you showing up stark naked like that. Anyways, I'll get the shower running for you, you can shower by yourself, right....?"

She looked to the side.

"I can... but not well."

"What do you mean, not well?"

"I have servants who help me."

"Right... Why are the royalty always such a handful...? I'll get my friends to help you with the-"

"I should not be seen by others like this!"
