âThank you, little one,â Elia said with a small smile as she took Quentynâs hand. Night was falling, and the torch in the corridor had gone out ; her little nephew must have sensed Elia tense up at the dark. The innocence of his words had been enough to reassure her, in a way, or at least distract her.
âYou are very brave, you know that ?â
Quentyn looked up at his aunt, the young prince had decided that she was the second prettiest lady in Sunspear (the first being his mother, as a boy must always put his beloved mother first). As a boy who planned to be a knight, he was already making choices to try and protect the pretty ladies in the castle. As he was with his aunt.
âOf course I am, I have to protect you, and Mother and when he grows older, Father. I am going to be a knight like Uncle. Knights have to be brave.â
