Keitel staggered unsteadily to his feet and loomed over Lucia. His palm slammed down heavily on the door behind. 

He was so close Lucia could feel his breath on her neck. She shuddered. His hair escaping over his eyes, he looked down on Lucia. Keitel's face was slightly red.
"I said get out." He breathed.

Lucia stared back into his piercing blue eyes unwaveringly. Keitel sniffed and pulled in close. His skin brushed against Lucia's cheek. His hot breath tickled her ear.

"You really had me fooled." He whispered. "Is this still part of your game?"

Lucia tried to move away. His other hand came down on the door...

Lucia instructed the maids to dress her in her armour. Once dressed she took her sword in hand and made for the door. Keitel was waiting, leaning on the door with a look of thinly suppressed displeasure. Lucia eyed him wearily.

"I don't want to do this right now," Lucia said under her breath.

"Then when will we do it?" Keitel crossed his arms, "When you arrive at the temple of Lome? When you take Lome's trials and become her champion?"

"I appreciate your confidence in me," Lucia remarked undeterred, "Someone has to go..."

"And why does that someone have to be you?" Keitel frowned, "What do we have all these knights for?! You are the Empress!"

"IT IS because I am the Empress!" Lucia returned with equal zeal.  There was a moment of silence.

Keitel inhaled sharply, "Are you sure you're not just leaving to be separated from me?"
