Soldiers, Joker and the Queen
Nobody was permitted to leave the castle.
"This is outrageous! What right you have a mere soldier to prevent me from leaving as I please?" The Lord Marius glared at the number of soldiers gathered at the Castle's main entrance and exit. "I'm only out to go on a walk through the gardens—how dare you men hold me back?"
While some of them wanted to kick this Noble—one of them spoke up, "My Lord, forgive me for speaking up, but this is unfortunately the King and Queen's orders. If you have troubles with their decision, then it would be best to bring it up to them."
Never in the Lord's wildest dreams did he assume that he would be told to shut up by a mere soldier, but like a peacock affronted, the man turned around with his small entourage—escorts, really—and strutted down the hallway.
