The Quiet Knight is in Trouble

"Your Lordship, you are famous and renowned across the lands, a living legend! Are you not happy the story might end with a marriage to the Crown Prince?"

"No." Happy my ass! What Prince, what noble, what scholar! I said I don't want it!

She turned curiously at me, "Do you not want to marry?"

"I do."

"Then what seems to be the issue?"

Already angry from her pestering, I answered irritated: "That I like women, you imbecile!"

Deneve wasn't really her name, and that wasn't really her body, but she did what she could and made a name for herself. She was relieved to know the Emperor appreciated her, but isn't this bastard a very bad friend? What do you mean marry your brother? Your cousin? Your other friend?

Leave me alone, asshole! I asked you to change the law, how come you still think I like men?

The heroics have ended, and it is now time to struggle in the currents of politics...

Good thing she's not alone.
