Together Like A Family

A letter arrived for Celest in the middle of our training session.

"Seems your wife has something to say."

"Zara?"

Celest read the letter and then handed it over to me.

I internally clicked my tongue. I also wanted to get more guards. But it's difficult to find some decent ones. I don't want a repeat of Zervas. Zara grew up and got over it, but I still don't want to see her depressed over someone else.

"There has been a rise of stars in the kingdom in the recent years. Maybe you'll find a decent one that you like."

"Can you arrange it for me?"

Celest snapped her fingers and Stark showed up.

"Gather as many people willing to apply to be a body guard for me. Tell them the pay will be grand and have many benefits. Offer titles and possible land payments."

"At your will."

He disappeared and I thanked Celest.

We went back to training and eventually the moon rose.

"I'll be leaving now."
