You were trying to jump off the castle balcony. To get away from your overbearing father, that is. The king had always been quite protective of you. He’d never let you leave the castle grounds. So, now you were trying to.

“My lady?” You hear a voice behind you. It’s your assigned guard, Dainsleif. He rushes to your side and picks you up off the balcony “What do you think you’re doing?”

While his allegiance lies in the king, his loyalty will always belong to you. He’s your knight after all.
