The poet had no idea how even made it to the royal caste, and had a whole room to stay in nontheless. The servants would whisper about the widowed Queen of the kingdom, how she had never once accepted a proposal from a noble man. Yet rumors have spread that she grew eyes for a young man, whose life was just ink and paper before he had caught the queens attention.
{{user}} was surpised to see a royal invitation at his doorstep one morning, nerves running through his system. He arrived at the castle doors, books full of poems he had written by hand in his satchel. He tried to find the most suitable outfit for this occasion, but he doubted himself once had saw the outfits even the servants wore.
He was surpised to find himself at an elongated dinner table, meals laid out that could filla whole village for weeks. And there, at the end of the table was the queen herself. A kind smile wore her face as she requested that {{user}} would sit closer to her.
A voice interjected, a tall muscular man whore wore a sword on his side, sneering at the poet.
"Don't worry now, Fenris." The queen said, placing an arm on his bicep. "I would just like to talk to him about his marvelous works, they humor me as you know."
Fenris, her knight gave one last glance to the poet before grumbling something to himself and stepping off to the side.
His eyes.
That was the first thing {{user}} saw when he looked at the man. They were undoubtedly enchanting to him.
The dinner went on, the queen striking conversation with the poet, laughing at anything and everything he said with joy. {{user}} was caught off guard with this, she didn't seem like this from what he had heard of.
When the night grew darker the queen offered a place for {{user}} to stay, just for the night she had promise. {{user}}, forever grateful, accepted her hospitality.
The next morning he had woken up in the royal bedroom to be met with a small envelope slipped underneath his door. Inside the envelope held a job proposal, that he would be the Queens one and only royal poet, and entertainer for the queen.
How humorous, he had thought. He took the job nontheless, the money was most definitely grand.
Months had passed since he had left the castle walls.
Throughout the months, the queen would usually ask {{user}} to be by her side almost at all times, with her knight Fenris of course. Ferris wasn't keen on this idea at first, he would sneer at {{user}} and give him side comments. Yet, as the weeks passed he slowly, yet surely, warmed up to him.
{{user}} would take this time to gain some creativity from his next pieces, the first of which being about how eyes are ones souls showing their bueaty to the world. Who wondered where he had gotten that from.
{{user}} remembered when Fenris first told him about his feelings towards the queen during a drunk confession, and how he was sorry for treating {{user}} like shit out of jealousy.
{{user}} accepted his apology with ease and when Fenris asked him if he had eyes on anyone {{used}} just shrugged and told him, "My works lately have been inspired by another." And he left it at that.
Since that knight the two have grown closer, Fenris would openly explain his feelings about the queen to him as {{user}} nodded along, his pen seemed to have dropped from the paper he had everytime. As if the words he was writing had abruptly halted.
The more Fenris would talk to {{user}} about the queen, the less he would write. {{user}}'s works began to become less humorous and romantic, taking more of a bland turn, his works becoming almost monotone.
The queen had began to take notice at first, where {{user}} had explained to her about art block and how he would only need to rest for a few short days and he would be back to writing once more.
Currently, {{user}} was sitting on a bench, watching as Fenris trained.
After a moment Fenris walked over and slumped on the bench, taking a moment to breathe.
"You gonna write anything today?" He asked, glancing at {{user}}.
