Just Before Dawn.. TheCrimsonLady - Elvenoff

"Yes, I do wish to have you as my Queen, but not for the reason you think. Our people need you. I do this for them." He said and turned to her. "Our people of the south needs a strong woman to get the things they need while the king is off fighting against a horde of savages. Our people of the north is to know that their way of life isn't going to change except some of the men of the army will have to come with me." He said and Andei nodded. For the people. The King and Queen should be for them as much as the people are to them.
"Now I would like the personal body guard to be with you. I know you can take care of yourself, but you don't have eyes in the back of your head. So he will help lower the risk to you. Now M'lady If I may have a leave of you. I need to stop all the stupid things I set in motion."

He said and she chuckled at his last statement. "Everyone makes mistakes, the foolish, repeat them, the wise, learn from them." She said with a small smile. "You are wise king, Your Grace, I will speak to the garrison, they will join you at my word." She said. She knew not what the marriage would be like personally but he was wise as she stated, so her people will still thrive. " The marriage will need to be done soon, I was promised to another, and Orken, my formerly, while decent, is still Orken, they value virgins." She said, swallowing. She was not eager to bed this man and her tone betrayed that, but it needed to be said. "If he comes, and I am still pure, he will take me, or try his damnedest to do so." She said, and nodded allowing him to leave. "I'll need the guard."
 
He listened to her every word closely. He smiled when she chuckled, she even gave him a vow of confidence by stating he was wise. He wasn't going to push his luck with anything else at the moment. She was a complex woman, one he had to move around cunningly. He shook his head for even thinking that, but he did. She was a strong one there was no question about that. He just wished things would have rolled out differently for who knows they may have even become lovers before the horde attacked. Who was he kidding. He laughed at himself.

He was relieved that she would allow the guard to be with her. At least that was one thing he didn't have to worry about. until she gave him one about being a virgin. He blushed, and took a step back. "If I may when I return from the mines I shall come to you in chamber and we can discuss this in detail. As for the wedding it will be tonight before we.. umm if we decided to ..." he waved it off, his face even turning more red.

"Please I know I have asked a lot of you. But I feel it is in the best interest if the people heard the news of all that has happened come from their Queen." She more than likely already knew that but his mind was running over the fact that she stated her virginity was going to bring them trouble. They had a lot to do before the Orken find out the news of what happened here and they send troops this way.

"I must go M'lady, May I come see you tonight?" he asked again to make sure he got her answer...
 
If I may when I return from the mines I shall come to you in chamber and we can discuss this in detail. As for the wedding it will be tonight before we.. umm if we decided to ..." He said and Andei smiled curiously. He seemed not to know how to speak of sex. How queer?
Most men had no problem speaking of such things. It made her wonder if he'd ever been with a woman before.
"Please I know I have asked a lot of you. But I feel it is in the best interest if the people heard the news of all that has happened come from their Queen." He said and Andei shook her head. "I will address the people." She said with a nod.
"I must go M'lady, May I come see you tonight?" He said and she smiled softly. "Yes, you may." She said with another simple nod. "Go, and make haste, the Orken move in the night."
 
John walked up the passageway which came in just behind Andei. His eyes traveled down to her ass. A slight rise came to his brow. "Well, sounds like you getting well with the King." he replied while still gazing at her ass.

He still didn't know why she wanted him as a personal guard for? But he imagined it wouldn't take Long for her ego had to thrive and with that she would be ordering him around soon enough. " So, the King is leaving for the mine?" something about his face showed something afoul was crossing his mind.

He waited for her to inform him of what she wanted him to do. He still liked what he seen earlier this morning and wouldn't mind another glimpse of the body. He moved toward her. The thought of the king being gone continued to pulse in his brain.
 
Andei turned as she heard the mercenary come up behind her. "Well, sounds like you getting well with the King." She merely rolled her eyes in response as she entered her chambers, and taking a seat at her vanity. Her leg was still very sore, bruised even. " So, the King is leaving for the mine?" She looked over at him, seeing mischief dance in his eyes. "When you address a lady, you say Milady, or in this case, Your Grace." She said, "and yes, His Grace is leaving for the mine, We will be married this evening." She said turning back to her vanity, looking at herself in the mirror. She looked tired...her skin was pale, her eyes still puffy from when she'd been crying. And she was supposed to wed, tonight.

"Why? You plan on misbehaving, I still can have you executed." She said,turning back to him. She didn't let him entertain the thought long. "Make yourself useful, and fetch me some ice." She said, rubbing her sore leg and shooing him with her free hand.
 
John looked at her for a few moments, “Well, I took out one royal family, who’s to say that I cant take out just one more.” He looked at her with a deep serous look. “All you have to do is offer lets say a few gems of considerable value can get you a very talented mercenary unit.” He gave her that your choice look. “The king has most of his men preparing to head south, I could wait here in your chambers for when he comes this evening and well lets just say set you free. “He looks at her with a raised brow. “So do you wish to pay for your freedom?”

He slowly got up and headed for the door. “I will go get that ice, think about what I said. I only offer this once. Oh, as you said you have a till mid-afternoon, for he will return shortly after that.” He waited at the door to see if she needed anytime at all to think about it…
 
Andei sighed heavily as he walked to the door. "I'm not a prisoner anymore...." She said, but that was only half true, she chose to stay, but she was still very much a prisoner, just in the gilded cage that was royalty. "If it is gems you want, you can have it. What need have I for such folly?" She said. She reached down in her vanity drawer and pulled out a few necklaces. She pulled out one in particularly, golden with an onyx gem. "There are from the dwarf mines in the North. It is incredibly rare for dwarves to share with Men, but the dwarf king and my grandfather were childhood friends, so that were gift for my first name day." She said and tossed it to him, expecting him to catch it. She didn't want to give it up, but she didn't want to be looking over her shoulder. "It is dragon glass...that could buy you a small keep in the lowlands...." She said and turned back to her vanity. "Now, Please, Ice."
 
John caught the necklace, while listening to hers words. He smiled, "what else would I want besides gems?" his brow arched in a quizzical manner. He thought for a moment. "Do you fancy me?" his memory going back to the fight when she was atop of him and he rose his hips into her. A smile came to his face before opening the door and went to get her ice.

When entering he looked to her."Well did you think about my question of you fancing me? He beamed..Walking over to her with the ice, he took a piece and gently pushed it against the flesh of her nape and watched how she reacted
 
"what else would I want besides gems?" He said and immediately Andei regretted the question. She prepared herself for some odd even insulting request as he paused. "Do you fancy me?" He said and she froze.

Fancy him? What in the name of the gods could he possibly mean by that? He murdered her entire family, why would he even think of such a thing?

Her mind went to the fight. After a while, it didn't feel like a fight, it felt like rough sex. She shook her head. No. She would not entertain the thought. She was betrothed. For the second time she didn't need this at all. She began sorting through her jewelry, she found the mate to the hair ornament he took the night before.

She looked up at he entered, walking over with the ice. "Well did you think about my question of you fancing me?" He said and she scoffed, until he touchedthe nape of her neck with the ice. She jumped out of the chair, snatched the hair stick from the vanity and held it to his throat, as she pushed him to the nearest wall, in a single swift motion.

"Touch me again, and you will live to regret it." She hissed.
 
John's mind went blank from this turn of events. He surely misread the few hints that she fancied him this was obvious now. But now it was time to take matters into his own hands. The king and his best guards were on there way to the mines. There was no guards near the door so it was time. He grabbed the wrist that was at his throat and twisted the wrist pulling the point away for him and to give him leverage so he could guide her. He spun her around and pushed her against the wall. He pushed his weight into her trapping her firmly, lowered his head a little to level out with her before pushing his lips to hers, his hand coming up and grasping her tit, flicking the nipple with his index finger. "Well you don't have to worry about being pure now!" He hissed with lust burning in his eyes.
 
Andei grunted as he pressed his lips against hers, and grasped her breast. She was breathing hard, danger lighting her eyes as he threatened her. "Well you don't have to worry about being pure now!" He hissed and Andei threw forehead into the bridge of his nose and a knee to his manhood. "Do you know how often men try such things!" She screamed. "Why do you think I know how to wield a blade, get out!" She ordered, pointing to the door. "And be glad I don't order your execution!"
 
A small stream of blood trickled down the side of John’s nose as there was a cut across it’s bridge. He stood staring at her and grinding his teeth for the shot to his groin hurt like hell, but he showed his strength by overcoming the pain. He just smiled at her not fearing her threat of having him executed. “First you would have to find someone to listen to you to have me killed. Do you really think the king’s men will follow your orders!” He laughed as he walked out of her chamber. John wanted this woman, not just for her body but to break that spirit of hers and slowly a plan began to form on how he could do this, however, the way of getting what he wanted required him to change his attitude toward this highness bitch. He smiled shaking his head that tomorrow would be the new him…

The commotion outside was a tremendous one as wounded soldiers fell from horses, there were still dead men leaning over the mane of their horses with Orken arrows stemming out of their backs. It was the King’s escort but only seven out of the thirty that went with him and the king was no where to be found.

A runner made his way through the castle till he came to her chambers. “M’Lady, The kings escort has been attacked, only seven men return, only two live, the King is not with them.” The runner voices out between his gulps of air. “The men said that they were on their way here now, only a hour or so away.” he continued to report to her.

John turned to her with a smile.. “Well, I guess you will be needing me here after all.” he pulled his sword out and began to give orders to the men at arms to man the walls.” He slowly walked back to the chamber. “Runner, Go tell the Captain of the garrison to send out feelers to keep us informed of how far they are out and how many are coming.” The runner turns and looks at Andei for her approval for everything he just said, John just gave a ok I was wrong look to her…
 
Andei tried to calm her racing heart but soon a runner from the Kingsguard rushed to her chambers, clearly it was an emergency.
“M’Lady, The kings escort has been attacked, only seven men return, only two live, the King is not with them.” He said and she swallowed. "What?"
. “The men said that they were on their way here now, only a hour or so away.” He told her and she closed her eyes, trying to steady herself. "The Orken...." She said with a sigh. One way or another, she was going to be raped this evening. She just knew it. One would be of her own doing...She couldn't believe how terrified she was, not only for herself but for the king. If he was dead, she was doomed.
“Well, I guess you will be needing me here after all.” John said and Andei sighed. Not the voice she was trying to hear right then. He began to order the men around before entering her chambers, yet again. “Runner, Go tell the Captain of the garrison to send out feelers to keep us informed of how far they are out and how many are coming.” He said and the runner looked to her.
"Go, make haste." She told him with a nod and he took off leaving Andei and John alone.

"What do you truly want, John Shaw?" She asked, after a long moment. "Besides my body... which is not going to happen....especially not now..." She said, frustrated with everything. "I gave you coin, I even gave you a powerful position here, what else could you possibly need besides a good fuck to work out your clear frustration?" She asked, highly unladylike of her but she was tired, scared and had little patience for etiquette.
 
John looked over to her with a serous face. “What makes you think I want anything?” he squared up to her, his face holding that look as he walks toward her. “Maybe I like fighting, Maybe I enjoy killing people, maybe I would want a good fuck, but why do you think its you that I would fuck? I can go out in your city and fuck any bitch down there. I’m sure there are woman down there that is just as good looking as you. So get off your fucking high horse and realize that your nothing but a king’s slut. You act as if once you marry him you’re the queen, I got news for you. All you will be is a King slut with a gold collar on your neck.”

He shook his head as he walked to the door. He looked down both ways then back to her “So what are you going to do if the king is dead? “ he looks at her up and down, more as a mockery than trying to get another good look. “Do you even know what is going to happen when the Orken gets here?” He imitated being fuck by pushing his finger into a clenched fist. “Now, there is only one hope here and your looking at him. So why don’t you try not piss me off for all I have to do is hand your ass over instead of fighting to keep it safe. Think long and hard about that.” he hissed..
 
Andei laughed at his words. "I am will aware of what's going to happened to me, once they get here, I know what's going to happened to you too." She told him, shaking her head. "But you answer your many questions. "I think you want something because you're still here, You could have cut your losses the moment the King rode out before the fighting but you didnt." She siad. " I think you want me, or at least want to fuck me, because again, you haven't left instead, you stayed and just kissed me not a moment ago..." She said. "If you were going to hand me over, you wouldn't have just sent those orders. It is clear we both on pretty high horses, mine is not nearly as high as you think." She said. "I am a woman, as much as I hate to admit it, I have very limited power, marriage is always a gold collar when you are royalty, you don't get to make a choice, choices are made for you. Some of us, aren't as lucky as you." She said, turning her head, tearing working in her eyes.

"If the king is dead, I will be as I always was, I was meant to belong to the Orken anyway... I will be taken, and if I'm lucky, I'll survive it." She said, and took a seat on her bed and resigned to her fate. If he took her now, she wouldn't bother fighting.

"What you don't realize is, John Shaw, I've always been a prisoner...just with a longer chain"
 
He listened to her without a show of emotion, just a look of concentration as if he was actually wanting to catch every word that was spoken. He had to admit she was very observant and wise. Yes, he wanted her, but not the way he attacked her earlier for that was out of rage and impulse. He wanted to much to kiss her and when it occurred the desire took over resulting him grapping her breast. But that all doesn’t matter now if the Orken army has it’s eyes set upon this castle, which he knew it was. He took a deep breath for he knew what they would do to him, but at least he will take a few out before they took him done.

“Do not fear M’lady, I know what to do if I begin to get overran.” He looked at her with a sorrowed look. “Do you wish to fall to them or not?” he asked her with a deep kind tone. “I will die protecting you, but if I begin to fall, my last dying blow can be to take your life so that you don’t not fall into the hands of the savages That is if you wish it of me.” He asked with a cold, but friendly tone.

It wasn’t long before the sound of battle rang out at the gates. “They are here. They must have killed the runners!” He moved to the door and took his stance. Watching both ways ready to protect.. “Hide!” He pointed to her safe room that all castle had for the royal family. “I will protect you as long as I can.” He gave her that serious look.
 
Andei sat in silence as John seemed to muse her words. “Do not fear M’lady, I know what to do if I begin to get overran.” He said and she caught his gaze. Do you wish to fall to them or not?” Andei looked at him with frown. Of course she didn't but he knew that, it seemed by the way he looked at her. “I will die protecting you, but if I begin to fall, my last dying blow can be to take your life so that you don’t not fall into the hands of the savages That is if you wish it of me.” He said and with a shaking breath, she shook her head. At least she could die on her own terms. "Yes." She said.

It was in that moment, the battle belll rang and she shot to her feet. “They are here. They must have killed the runners!” He said and she nodded, looking around her room for a weapon. "Hide!" He shouted, toward the panic room. She didn't want to leave, she wanted to fight, at least she could kill a few of them before she died. "I will protect you as long as I can.” He said, his face with all the sincerity he could muster.


She fought with herself for a moment, before lifting her skirts and starting for the panic room, "Don't die." She ordered before she stopped and turned back, running to him, grabbing him by the collar and kissing him deeply.

"For the record, I wanted you to kiss me..." She whispered before taking off down the hall.
 
He looked at her with a totally new face when she kissed him and vowed that she wanted him to kiss her. He smiled with the look on his face of ’I knew that.’ He turned from her and pulled his sword in one hand a dagger in the other and stood in the middle of he passage way. The sounds of screaming savages echoed from stairwell but was awhile before the orken were coming up the passage. John knew that Galron’s soldiers were the ones that was holding them off, but the numbers had to be overwhelming for now john was looking a ten coming toward him. “Only ten?” he laughed as he back up ward the panic room. He knew if they flanked him he was dead so he wanted to get close enough to the room just incase he had to take her life.

The savages came at him with the axe and sword men first followed by the spearmen. Archers were in the aback. He took a deep breath and crashed with the men. The combat was fierce but John was just out numbered as wounds began to slow him down, He looked down the hallway and even more were coming to replace the ones that he had killed. He slowly backed up against the wall as the horde continued to cut and slash him into pieces. He groaned with pain, blocking what few he could with his sword, stabbing those close enough with his dagger. He forfeited his blocking when a few of them got to the panic door and was opening it. He sliced them up only to be sliced himself . He dropped to one knee as his blood dripped from all over his body. He slowly reached for the door so that he could take her life when all of a sudden the attacks quit coming. He turned to see what was going on and at the other end was the King fighting his way down the hall He wasn’t fairing much better than John in health but was cleaning up the savages while make his way toward John…

The sound of battle subsided as the king walked over to John. “Where is the Queen?” he asked helping John to his feet. “In the panic room, Your grace.” Galron helped John to the wall so that he could use it for support. He then moved over to the panic room door and slid inside.

He stood there half bent over, blood dripping from his body everywhere. “M’lady are you hurt?” Galron arm was handing down a broken arrow lodged in his shoulder, blood pooled where if fell from his fingers. “It is safe now, the probing force has been destroyed.” he whispered..
 
Fleeing was not something she wanted to do, nor did she want to leave John there to fight on his own. She didn't want to die, but she didn't want to raped either so it was best that she hid.

She made her way down the hall, ducking low to avoid being spotted. She had no weapon, and felt naked without one knowing the enemy surrounded her castle. The sounds of battle rang out through the halls and she knew it would only get closer.

She ducked down one hall, adjacent to the hall she need to get to to get the panic room. She took a breath and made a dash for the door, only to be grabbed and shoved against the wall. She hit the wall with a thud to see a pale skin Orc sneering at her. His hand cupped her breast and squeeze hard like he were trying to burst an orange in his palm. She groaned and reached at his hip, grabbing the dagger at his side. He laughed and dropped her. "What are you going to do with that?" He growled.

'Why don't you come over a find out?" She beckoned, without moving to a stance. She, as usual, had the element of surprise.

"Take your best shot." He said as he walked over and held out his arms.

"I plan to." She said and with two swift swings of the dagger, he froze in place, blood gurlging in his throat, as two slits across his neck drowned him in his own blood. His blood spray over her but she didn't care. She was woman, blood didn't scare her.

She made her way into the panic room, shut the door, crossed her legs, with the dagger in her lap and closed her eyes, waiting....


It wasn't long that the door opened and Andei's eyes sprang open, her hand at the hilt of her found dagger but it wasn't an enemy, it wasn't even John coming to end her life. It was....

"Galron!" She gasped, He was alive. Thank the Gods.

"M'lady, are you hurt?"

She looked at him, hearing blood hitting the floor. He was alive, yes, but just barely.

"It is safe now, the probing force has been destroyed."

She couldn't give a damn about that. She ran to him, and wrapped her arms around him in an embrace. She felt blood on her hands and pulled away, assessing his wounds. "you're hurt, you need help." She said, softly, grabbing a hold of his face, so he could look at her, concern and worry in her dark eyes. " I feared the worst..." She told him and she had, she had no idea why but she felt unbelievably relieved that he was alright, not for her sake, but for his own.

"We need to get you seen to." She said looking into his eyes
 
All he could think about was her safety when the Orken army ambushed them. He turned and ordered his men to return to the castle and protect the Queen. His men first didn’t want to obey but his yell to them that all will be lost if the Queen is taken or killed. The kingsguard wanted to stay but knew the King was right so without further hesitation they turned and headed back to the castle leaving the King and his small squad of Knights to fight off the first wave of the Orken army.

After getting an opportunity to escape through a hole they punched in the surrounding Orken wave, they made their way back toward the castle. Galron just hoped that he gave the kingsguard time to get back and protect the Queen, however, to his horror he came across the carnage that was his kingsguard ambushed by yet another wave of the Orken kind. Fear escalated in his chest as he pushing his warhorse to full canter toward the castle. He feared that the prince of the Orken Kind was with another wave that was heading directly for the castle to retrieve it’s gift. Galron’s Queen.

Upon reaching the castle the battle wasn’t what he expected somehow the Orken kind was already inside the castle, there was no siege weapons, not ladders, no climbing ropes, someone let them into the castle! Anger filled his chest as he ordered his knights to get to the Queen, He did not matter, her life was the life of all people Highland and lowland. They nodded and began to fulfill his order but got jammed up but was able to make a small hole for him to slide through. He took it and headed up two her chambers fighting the whole way, his goal was to get to her before they did.

Now, here he stands looking at a blood covered Queen. Sitting cross-legged on the huge chair holding a Orken dagger in her hand. He has never felt so relieved to see someone alive and looking at him the way he was looking at her. He felt a lump form in his throat from the feelings that were hitting him, here it wasn’t even a day and it felt like he has cared for her over many rises of the sun and settings of the moon. He smiled maybe it was her charm.. He smiled inward, nope it wasn’t that! No, it was her strength of character that grasped his feelings for her, and to be honest her beauty had a magnetism that pulled him into the wanting of her. He knew if giving the time he could come to love her by other factors as well.

What he didn’t expect was her jumping up and running over to him embracing him in a hug. He seen the fear and worry in her eyes, upon her face, and heard it in the tone of her voice. When she took his face into her hands and looked him in the eye he knew whatever she was going to say it was coming from her soul .. She feared the worse… He believed her and was happy to have detoured that fear..

She then took charge and informed him that he needed to be looked at. He raised his hand to her face looking into her eyes as well “I feared the worse as well!” still gazing into her eyes, he smiled, “You are a beautiful lady.. A strong lady .. A lady that I wish to kiss at this moment.” he hesitated for a second.. “May I kiss thee? “
 
Andei's heart raced as his hand touched her cheek, his eyes gazing into hers. “I feared the worse as well!” He said and Andei nodded. They all knew why the Orken were coming, they were coming for her, and surly they would be back. Galron smiled at her, still capturing her eyes.
"You are a beautiful lady.. A strong lady .. A lady that I wish to kiss at this moment.” He said and Andei's eyes went wide for a moment. John crossing her thoughts. Where was he, did he yet live? Surely he must have as how else would the king know where she was. “May I kiss thee? “ He asked and Andei for the first time, probably in her life, she blushed.

He asked to kiss her, respected her and her boundaries enough to ask, John, merely took it. Touched her without permission and while yes, she'd wanted him to, there was a carnal rush in that. He touched a darker side of her, that enjoyed the fight. The King, Galron, he asked, and to ask for such a thing, there were something romantic about it, he gave her control, something she never really had, not only that, they would be married this night, so it was right.

"Yes, yes you may." She said softly, leaning in so that he could meet her halfway.
 
When she said yes to his request to allow him to kiss her, his heart raced his desire to make her happy took all precedence, for if she is happy their kingdom will be happy and prosper, not only here but in the lowlands as well. She was smart, witty and very cunning and those things will make a strong leader or in her case a Queen. As her King, He will protect her, savory all that she does for him in his name. But there was one thing that still worried him… The Orken Kind prince.

He put his inded finger over his thump and placed it under her chin and lifted her head slightly upward. He didn’t pull her to him, He came down to her. He pushed his lips to hers lightly then slightly pulled away then came back and kissed her a with all the love and tenderness a husband gives to his wife. He slowly pulled away from her. “M’lady, If I may escort you around to make your presence to the army. To let them know that you still live by their sacrifice. I would be honored to do this.” He almost stumbled, his face turning white as he slipped to one knee. His arm shooting out to keep him from falling over. “I think I may have to that at another time.”

“My Queen, Your personal guard lives. He was being taken care of by a chambermaid when I came this way for you.” He whispered to her very weakly.
 
Andei's eyes fluttered closed as he gently pressed his lips to hers. His kiss was kind, considerate, and loving. He kissed her like he loved her, not like he simply wanted her and that made her return the kiss in kind. when the kiss was over, she pulled back with a soft smile in her eyes.

“M’lady, If I may escort you around to make your presence to the army. To let them know that you still live by their sacrifice. I would be honored to do this.” He told her before nearly stumbling to a knee, she was at his side without a second thought, or even a first one.

“I think I may have to that at another time.” He said and Andei shook her head. “My Queen, Your personal guard lives. He was being taken care of by a chambermaid when I came this way for you.” He said and she shushed him.

"Stop talking, I'm not your Queen yet, we have have not yet wed, and I would like very much for you to live so that we may do so." She said, her tone was harsh but her words and voice were kind.

She wanted to marry him, he would be a kind husband. She didn't know what she had if anything with John but there was no future in it. She had feelings for him, yes, but it was a game, she liked fighting with him, and that got her arosed but that was it.

Galron was different.

"Come, Your Grace, We need to get you seen to." She said, helping him to his feet and helping him outside. It wasn't long before they got him to an infirmary, the Keep's doctor seeing to his many wounds. He was hurt and had lost alot of blood but he would live. none of his wounds were fatal.

"Rest, I will see to the others." She said before placing a soft kiss to his lips before leaving the room and finding John Shaw.

"Glad to know you actually can follow orders." She said teasing with a smile, as she told him not to die and he didn't.. "How are you?"
 
John looked up at her when she walked over with that little sway in her hips that he knew she did just for him. “It is only orders I like that I follow.” he smiled to her. “Well I was doing just fine, till now!” he smiled and huffed.. “I have seen better days but I live. How are you?” He looked over the large room where many kingsmen were bed ridden. “I fear this isn’t over. I still have a quest and that is to relieve you of your burden before the Orken kind prince comes.” His eyebrow arched with a smirk grin on his face. He looked into her tired eyes. “You need rest.” he moved over and offered her a place next to him in the bed.

“So does he life?” his voice not as uppity about the King as most of the people are. “You know, you kissed me before those orken attacked. So what should I think about that.” he asked looking at her quizzically. “I knew you wanted me.” He just blurted out from no where…
 
Andei just smiled at his response and walked over to him, hovering a bit near his bed. "I'll live." She said, mocking him some. “I fear this isn’t over. I still have a quest and that is to relieve you of your burden before the Orken kind prince comes.” He said and she shook her head. "You will not."
