I lay on the cool dirt, my head resting on the stone wall. This was the best rest I could ask for.
"It's that man again."
"Why does he always lay there? He's such an eyesore to the castle…"
I sighed and started to get up. I felt a cool sensation on my cheek and looked up in shock to see the king himself holding a bottle with water sloshing around. The sun somehow hit the back of his head so that it created what looks like a halo… What a cruel joke.
"Thanks…" I mumbled.
"Do you have someplace to go for the night?" He asked.
I was shocked because this was the first time he'd spoken with me. In the several other times I've sat here, he's never looked in my direction, let alone spoke.
"Y-yeah…I was going to make a fire in the woods behind the castle." I said.
*This is my chance!* I thought to myself. *I need to make myself as pitiful as I can! Get close to the king. That's all I need to do.*
