"The beautiful woman that I see at night, the strange glow of her hair, the beautiful brown eyes that glisten even in the moonlight. She's everything to me. Her names Claudia."

My job was more like a prison in despair, but I lived to serve the king and only the king. Tara was out playing cards with her doll whenever I arrived to greet her. She had on a blue and lavender dress, and her hair done up.
"How are you doing today?"

"You should get some rest."
I walked back out to the area I was staying at when I heard the low growl of a dog.
It was a hunting dog. But what was a hunter doing here?

The memory still wedged into my mind, I even sought out the kings word.
He told me I could not marry.
I left matters alone. If it was meant to be, it would be meant to be.
