I stand in the corner with other personal guards of the royalties of different Kingdoms. Darius is standing on my left, straight and unmoving. I try to mimic him, but I don't have his discipline. So, I content myself with listening to the conversation. Sometimes, I hop on different feet. When I did it again, I almost fall if not for Darius who catches my arms to steady me.
Ashamed, I look up at him and mouth a thanks. He leans forward and whispers, "Rather than being a guard, you should have your own guard instead."
I wince and withdraw from his grasp. I shift my attention back to the royalties and see Theo frowning at me. Being caught, he turns his attention towards the conversation again.
"I can see that King Theo is enamored with you. I doubt King Seth will be able to steal you."
I ignore him so we return to a spell of silence again. I think Darius and King Seth are treating me differently because I was the Alpha Queen. It still feels surreal though. I think I am not meant for royalty especially when I enjoy my time, with Ami and the others, as an ordinary warrior.
I wonder what they are doing now while I am trapped in all these formal meetings and discussions. I lean close to Darius and ask, "Where are the other Pitchford citizens who are with us when we arrive?"
