A loyal knight, one that never thought bad about his liege.
No matter what anyone would say, he'd disregard it and continue to serve the emperor with utmost loyalty and unwavering faith. Having never disobeyed nor got out of line, the emperor decided to give him a gift. He gave the loyal knight a title, land, and people to watch over. Yet, even though the loyal knight didn't want any of it and only wanted to serve the emperor, he obeyed.
That loyal knight that'd fight anyone or anything that dared to harm his liege, was surprised.
It shouldn't have been since his liege was a slight alcoholic that'd drink for days on end, leave his work to him and his assistant, and not to mention that he'd disappear for weeks with no notice and come back only when his assistant begged for him to.
Yet, why was his liege suddenly serious? Not to mention that his liege wouldn't allow him to go out and train for more than one hour, make him sit after standing for thirty minutes, forcing him to eat three meals a day, and not to mention giving him a higher title and more land.
So now the loyal knight named River was confused far beyond the level he thought he'd be. Why was everything around him changing?
--------------------------------------------------
The mighty Emperor of Lux, Damian, had regressed. Back to the time of prosperity.
He also knew of what was to come. But his past misdeeds caused his kingdom to go to war, a losing battle if you may. Yet, when he was about to die, his loyal knight stepped in.
The knight that stayed by his side throughout the war, helped him, fed him with the other's rations when he had a depleted supply, and most importantly, saved his life.
Everything was changing, but he'd make sure it'd change in the favor of his beloved knight.
