He was to scared to notice that and said while sitting on the floor "You are right..." he paused as he decided how to tell everything.
I knew it was difficult for him so I waited patiently as he said "My Queen, our master went to his secret place to meditate, no one knows about that place except you because he only trusted you in this kingdom, this is not the real master, this person has evil intentions. He came just before you were going to sit on the throne, all the people who knew that master went to his place and the people who were incharge of informing you about this were captured and then this person came, he didn't want you to sit on the throne and became successful and after you left, everything changed, we were treated like slaves and you can already see my condition. As soon as I got the information that you are here I came to you running to tell everything, nothing is good over here."
I took in all the information, my heart burned knowing that all my people were in this condition and anger for myself filled inside me thinking, if I had been stronger back then, these people would have been safe, with guilty in my eyes, I looked at him "I am sorry I didn't fulfil my duties as a queen, I don't deserve this position, I cannot pay for what has happened but I promise I will not run this time and fulfil my duty. This is my land, my home, I promise to protect it and it's people. "
He pulled his hands back realizing what I was doing "We don't blame you, anyone in your situation would had done that and with losing the person you loved, that devil which had been roaming around and a new marriage, you are still courageous enough to come back, no one blames you, we didn't want you to return so that you could be safe, we had already decided to die but now it is about Master's life so we were glad to see you."
With guilty in my eyes I looked at him "Make sure you make them believe you died before reaching me and I don't know anything, I will not do anything for some time to make them believe, I know nothing after that I will visit the master and then we will sort out everything."
He nodded his head and I sent him out opening the door for him with which James entered the room. Now that I have to live with him and I had feelings for him I decided to get used to his presence but not treat him as a special person. I let him enter without making any noise while I started processing everything in my head.
He sat on by bed and I sat next to him thinking, he looked at me and said "What you have planned is perfect."
Without meeting his gaze I said with a sigh "So many of them and been tortured and so many are still being beaten up, knowing this I am unable to feel at rest. "
He gently wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I realized that he could be the most gentle person if his limits were not crossed, I didn't get closer to him but didn't push him away either which was enough for him to make him happy.
I could not rest peacefully in my room so I went out to get some fresh air. I didn't have anyone to talk to so I decided to lighten my mood by talking to this clingy beast "Whatever this is, it is too complicated for me to solve, if the master is still alive and had gone for his meditation, he must have returned by now, it has been so many years. I don't know if he is still there, has someone found about that place and kept him prisoner, does he know about what is going on over here and has some plans or he is somewhere else and doesn't know about anything?"
He looked at me confused "Are you accepting my presence now?"
I gave him a smirk "Do I have a choice, anyways you are trustworthy and as long as you maintain your distance and give me enough space to breathe, I can talk to you and let you be around easily."
He took the positive things from my words and I could see a smile on his face as he said "Whatever it is I am sure you will face it out and I promise to help you with everything."
I nodded and smiled with a comfort that I could look back at someone for help.
