The Queen's Command

King Arthur arrived back at the castle, making his way to his room. As he entered, he found his wife, Zara, in the midst of a conversation with Lara. Zara, unaware of Arthur’s return, was overjoyed to see him and embraced him. With a smile on his face and a sense of contentment in his heart, Arthur kissed Zara on the lips. After the kiss, he inquired about the conversation she had been having with Lara.

“Zara, what were you and Lara talking about that couldn’t wait for my return?” Arthur asked.

Zara replied, “Well, Lara revealed herself as a goddess to the man she lives with in order to save his life and bring joy back to his family.”

Arthur chuckled proudly. “She truly is my daughter. Did she mention the young man she’s in love with?”

“No, my love,” Zara answered. “She only spoke about the tasks she needs to accomplish that don’t involve her newfound love.”
