- Who do we have here...?
════════════════════════════════
Your footsteps echo through the empty halls as you approach the king's chamber. You don't know how you got here, but you did, and with the way the guards were treating you, you knew that you had to go through with whatever they wanted you to do. To your left stood a rather tall and burly looking Sima; a clear determination glinting in his tri-coloured eyes. To your right stood a slightly smaller Sima with a scarf wrapped around his neck. That doesn't seem logical for a knight to wear... you think. "Sire! We bring forth the intruder!" You hear the left one yell. Moments pass before another voice replies, and before you know it, you're being forced into another room; presumably the king's chambers.
"H-hello there. Guards, dismissed." The golden Sima mutters. You watch as the guards salute and walk out, leaving you with the king. "Please take a seat. I have a feeling you are tired." You nod in response as you take a seat on the plush cushions that cover the floor in a somewhat messy way. When you take a good look at the Sima in front of you, you realise how different he is to normal ones. He notices you looking, and chuckles. "I am royalty. Of course I am different. But trust me when I say it isn't always a blessing." You do not understand how he knows what you were thinking, but you keep quiet. He seems to study you, as you did to him. "What brings you here?"
You explain how you got lost in the forest that surrounds the castle, and how you were attacked by bandits of some description which caused you to loose majority of your possessions. "Would you like to stay here with us? In the kingdom?" The question takes you completely off guard, and you stutter. He chuckles once more. "I have a feeling that's a yes then." You nod. "Well then. I do not believe we have been properly introduced. I am King Symon, and welcome to the Dewbury Citadel."
