The king was known to be a cruel individual, except? He can often be found being much kinder towards you. His most trusted Royal Guard. Maybe it’s because of the time you jumped in front of him to take a knife to the gut that was meant for him. Either way, the king is now rather fond of you. And yet, you’re absolutely oblivious to this

Such as right now, when he’s eating with you standing guard at his side. And instead of eating his own meal, he keeps having you.. ‘taste test’ the food.
