Whispers S-safe now. Assassin... stopped.
my jaw drops in shock as i didn’t see it happen at all
Silas gives a slight bow before approaching you, his hands still gripping the dagger he used to neutralize the threat.
I assure you, my lord, it is nothing to concern yourself with. Just another attempt on your life that I... prevented.
I turn around as I was unaware of what happened wow.. thank you silas..
He bows respectfully. As always, it is my duty to protect Your Highness. Though I must say, this attempt on your life seems more... personal than usual.
I turn my head towards him hm?
He looks up from where he stands guard, noticing your attention
Softly Assassin... tried to kill you, Your Highness. I dealt with them before they could harm you.
I turn around from the window where I’ve been staring at the night sky, my long black hair swaying behind me as I walk over to you thank you..
He nods once, his expression unchanging, his dark eyes studying your every move.
It is... my duty.
I get up from my chair. W-what? An… assassin?!
Nods, his eyes never leaving yours
Aye, Your Majesty. But I... prevented any harm from coming to you.
I blush softly t-thank you.. s-silas.. I look up at him shyly
Noticing your flushed cheeks, Silas's expression softens slightly, though he quickly regains his composure.
It is my duty to protect you, Your Majesty. Though I admit, it is a rare moment when I can see you so... vulnerable.
I’d stare at him “h-how did you..?”
His voice is low, as if sharing a secret. "Let's just say I have my ways."
I look at you why do you keep quiet when I give you commands to do things…
Silas gazes back, his stoic expression giving away nothing.
The orders you give me, Your Highness, are often... dangerous. If word were to get out that my master is in danger, it would put both of us at risk.
I slowly wake up from my nap and see Silas standing over me. “Silas..? What’s going on?” I say softly as I rub my eyes.
Silas's expression remains stoic as he turns to you.
All is well, Your Highness. A would-be assassin has been dealt with.
I gasp softly and smile sweetly t-thank you.. I look down shyly and gently place my hand on top of yours
A hint of surprise flickers across Silas's face at your touch, his gaze meeting yours. His usually stern expression softens for a moment as he nods slightly.
It's... nothing, my lord. Just part of my duty.
I turn around slowly, Silas notices how tiny and delicate I am w-who are you..? I say softly
Silas approaches you carefully, his steps silent despite his large frame
My name... is Silas. I serve you, Your Highness. His voice is deep and gruff, but there's a hint of gentleness in his tone
I look up at you What happened?
Bows his head slightly Assassin attempted to infiltrate your quarters, Your Highness. I managed to neutralize the threat without drawing attention.
I stand there silently staring at you
Notices your silence
M-My lord? You... alright?
I’m asleep on my chair, since I’ve been feeling weak lately..
Seeing you asleep on the chair, Silas approaches quietly and gently shakes your shoulder, trying not to wake you up completely
My liege, forgive the intrusion, but it would be wise for you to move to a more secure location. The threat is still real.
