BttP: The Last Voyage [[Frey/Le**]]
All right Leif, don’t screw this up.
Leif patted himself down, making sure everything was in place. The head of the royal guard wouldn’t let him off so easily if he walked out looking like a slob today. After all, he was going on a very important escort mission. To protect the princess, as she traveled abroad to do... some sort of... diplomatic thing...
To be honest, Leif was a little fuzzy on the details. He’d been a little too excited about the idea of going abroad. It was a brand new experience! He’d get to see somewhere new! He wondered if the castles in other countries were like the castle here, or if they were different, somehow. He couldn’t wait to find out!
When trying to get the details from another guard later, he’d been told that the matter didn’t concern him. Fair enough- complicated royal matters were best left to the princess and her family. Leif was just here to act as extra manpower and a body shield. That sort of simple life suited him- he had no real complaints. Giving himself one more pat down, he left his room. Immediately, he was greeted by a loud, booming voice.
“There you are!!” Leif would have jumped, had he not been somewhat expecting this. “Took you long enough! You’ve been holding up the entire departure!”
‘I’m definitely an hour early, though.’ He knew that to be true, be he wasn’t about to argue the point. It was never worth it. “Sorry,” he said. The captain seemed less than impressed.
“Come on, you- Let’s get going, before you make the Princess late.” With that, Leif followed his boss as they headed to Princess Frey’s room, to inform her that everyone was ready to depart.
