"Yes mam of course mam," she said scarping and curtsying over and over again.  When she had set out for the capital it had, of course, been the king on the throne and she had felt certain of his disapproval and having to possibly give herself to him as payment to get his attention.  This was obviously a much better solution for her.<br/><br/>Raoul smiled at her. "But of course" he said squeezing her shoulder in his gently grip, "I will always come home to you and your brother will look out for you while I am gone for sure..." He smiled at her reassuringly as the girl flitted away to a safe house that she would leave out from with the prince and his hands in the morning.  Several more people came through with various problems some petty and others quite severe but that was the job of the queen and king.  To listen to the problems of the people and decide if it was something for the nobles to solve and if it was how best to do so without breaking the kingdom in turn.  by the end of the day Raoul was exhausted having stood on his bad leg most of the day and he smiled in relief as the doors closed and turned to his queen, "You did an amazing job." He told her as he gently placed his lips against her forehead.
