Title: Who Else? Rating: G Length: 196 words Competitor: Wyldon Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Assingments from the Crown can damage relationships. Or mend them.
Long hours on the road were a part of their relationship. Sometimes the hours were together, more often they were not. Because they were knight. They had no choice. Duty came first, their vows to the Crown before their vows to one another.
It was with a rather heavy heart that Wyldon went into the King’s study to receive his new assignment. Keladry had gotten hers today as well, though he hadn’t seen her and he didn’t know what they were.
“Ah Wyldon, good. I don’t have much time and I imagine you don’t want to be here either. Bandits have decided to take up residence between Cavall and Port Legann. You, another knight, and a squad from the army have the assignment for the next four years -baring war- of ridding the area and keeping them out.”
Well it could have been worse. It was the same as being told that he should start looking into retiring, but it could have been worse. Wyldon wished he weren’t so old, he could have been with Keladry then. “Yes Your Majesty. May I ask who the other knight will be?”
“Lady Knight Keladry of Cavall, who else?”

Love this line, very true of them both, I think!

It's nice when kings are generous.
