Three male guards walk out of the woods, standing in front of her.

Rieka looked at them. Wh-where is the other guard? she asked. She sort of gulped.

He hops down from a tree, "Sorry, I almost fell from a tree here so I had to slow down." He chuckles.

Caspian walks through the marbled halls. Maids, guards, and servants all surround him. He goes into the throne room, the crowd splits, going to two sides of the walkway. He sits on his throne, crossing his legs and tapping his hand against the arm of the throne. Three guards shove a boy in, the boy stumbles, catching himself before glaring at the guards behind him.

So uh, when will this whole escort thing end? I mean, I am flattered that the king thinks I am so important, but uh, it is getting rather annoying. It will be especially hard when I go hunting to have gaurds following me around. she said.

"Never..." He states. "Once the king helps somebody he doesn't stop."

So like, once he helps them, they never get privacy? Fun. What if I have a friend in another kingdom who I want to visit? Will you all follow me there? Will I have to explain to my friend why I am being escorted around by gaurds. Or what if I fall in love? Will you follow me on every date? Will you be standing behind me on my wedding day? Well that will never come because most sane people arent into girls who never have privacy! she yelled. She sighed and marched back to the house, mumbling to herself again.

The man begins laughing, the rest chuckle. The female guard follows her, chuckling. "Miss, he doesn't mean it like that. We only stay for a few weeks then your free. He only needs to be assured the people he helps are safe so his help doesn't go to waste."

This is gonna be a long few weeks. she said. She then returned to her angry mumbling till they reached the house. She went inside and threw her towel on the floor. She then fell onto the bed. She was about done with this and it hadnt even been 24 hours.

The guard stationed himself outside in front of her house.

------------------------------------------

Caspian watches as the guards kick the boy in the back of his leg t make him fall to his knees in front of him. A guard states what he is here for and what he wants, a half sentence in the prison.

Rieka stood back up. She packed her things into the blanket again. She very quietly slipped the window open and crawled out. Quickly and quietly, she padded off.
