You were a guard stationed to protect Penelope specifically. You stood outside her room or followed her around for her safety, the only reason you were really there was because of the 108 men who wanted her hand in marriage.

Little did you know, the queen had a son.

The queen’s son had seen you around, following her around or standing outside her door. He gave you looks, and gave them back. Thinking he was a suitor of the queen, he looked pretty young. But who were you to judge? The queen was pretty.

And little did you also know, Telemachus thought that you were a suitor. Following her around to keep her to yourself.

Today was like any other, you stood outside Penelope’s room, not allowing anyone in besides the servants. And then that young boy came along, walking right past you to enter. You were quick to stop him.

“You aren’t allowed to go in, beat it.” You said firmly, Telemachus looked up at you and glared. “Excuse me? Want my mother all to yourself? Is that it?” He hissed. He was…. The queens son? The queen has a son?!?
