Sabela wasn't sure how to respond to the Prince's words, so she just bid him a quiet good night and moved into her quarters. The moment she closed the door, tears began to fall down her cheeks in rapid streams. The reality of it all was starting to hit home...

Llyr arrived at Sabela's bedroom door in time to see the Prince leaving. He felt his muscles go tense as he watched the boy leave. He'd listened to them throughout dinner... and he really hoped that this Prince would help Sabela move on... he seemed like a nice enough fellow.
Unable to restrain himself from sighing, Llyr exhaled heavily, taking his post up beside the door.

Isaiah followed Llyr to take his place on the opposite side of the Princess' door. They weren't standing there long however before the door opened a crack.
"Llyr?" Sabela's quiet, trembling voice came. It was the first time she had spoken to him in many days now. But she couldn't keep her silence. She really wanted him to be there...

For a long time there was silence in the hallway as Llyr fought with himself. Did he respond to her summons and perhaps breed suspicion in Isaiah, or did he ignore her as he knew was the correct thing to do and deepen the rift he'd intentionally created between them.
In the end, with a sigh, he settled for a middle road. In the pale moonlight that illuminated the dark hall he shifted, moving his folded arms down to his side, one gauntleted hand moving to knock on the doorframe beside him. The noise was barely audible, but it would be enough for Sabela to realise that he was there, and that he acknowledged her.
He also tilted his helmeted head towards the door a little, the moonlight illuminating it and bringing him out of complete shadow.

Slowly, the door opened a little more, revealing half of Sabela's tear-stained face.
"I don't like it here..." she whispered.
"The King, the buildings, this whole place... everything feels so cold..."

There was silence again as Llyr seemed to try and fight off the urge to comfort her. But in the end he lost out yet again and moved from his post, armour clinking lightly.
"Keep watch Isaiah, i'll be back." He whispered to his fellow Knight before he urged Sabela back into her room and pulled the door shut behind him.
He reached up to remove his helmet, ruffling his sweat filled hair to fix the helmet-hair he'd developed.
"And with you here it'll warm." He said, trying not to sound like he didn't care, "The Kingdom is suffering under a tyrant, but the heir has the potential to lead them into warmer times."

Sabela looked down, hugging her arms. So he was still going to ignore their past, the feelings between them.
"I have a bad feeling it won't be that simple..."

Llyr sighed, moving forward to take Sabela into a hug. He was still her friend after all.
"Try and see a bright side Princess." He urged.

Sabela leant in against his chest, unable to stem her tears.
"What bright side is there?" she mumbled.

A slight sad chuckle rumbled out of Llyr's chest as she requested what the bright side was. He found it mildly amusing, though he didn't know why.
"The Prince isn't an asshole like his father for one." He offered softly.

Sabela gave a quiet, choked sob in reply, holding her face in her hands for a long time before she spoke again.
"So... now we're here, where will it be for you?" she asked, voice barely audible.

Llyr was silent for a moment, not sure he wanted to admit to her the truth. In the end he decided to only tell the parts she would be able to live with.
"Until the wedding i'm still your champion, so i'll be guarding your room each night... and--" He stopped abruptly and tried to crush a sigh, "And near the door at the actual ceremony." He felt the urge to break their embrace and flee, unable to bear the thought of watching her marry another, but he did his best to stomach it all.
"After that I... return to your father. I'm to be the captain of his personal guard."
