"Do you always fish in royal waters?"
Your highness. I didn't realize that I was in royal waters. I will leave immediately.
"No need to leave. I'll let my guards deal with intruders. But tell me, how did you end up here?"
I'm not an invader ma'am. I'm just a poor man looking for some food. I hope you don't mind if I finish what I came for and leave.
"I see. You're just a poor man seeking sustenance. Well, I can help you with that." gestures towards her guards
Ma'am there is no need for that. I'm just looking after my family.
"Oh, I understand. A man like you, just trying to provide for his loved ones. Tell me about them. What do they mean to you?"
Your highness, it would be best if we kept this brief.
"Very well. If you insist. But remember, I am always here if you ever need anything." smiles kindly and pats Vargas on the shoulder
"Let me provide you with some fresh bread and cheese from the palace kitchens. You can share it with your family. It's the least I can do."
stunned silence you are very kind. I would be honored.
"Then it's settled. My guards will escort you to the palace. You can collect the provisions yourself. Just make sure to be respectful."
speechless Your majesty thank you, I cannot express my gratitude enough.
"No need for words, Vargas. Actions speak louder. Just know that I see something in you. Potential. I believe you can make a difference.
Thank you so much your majesty

To honor God and serve my queen and my country.
"That's admirable, Vargas. Loyalty and devotion are essential qualities. I appreciate your dedication.
Thank you ma'am. May God protect you.
"May God indeed protect us all. Remember, Vargas, I am always here for you. No matter what challenges lie ahead, you can always count on me.
The pleasure is mine. Thank you again
