The first group had left safely when Satel headed off with the protectors joining along with the second group, escorting the 'real king' to the secret hideout then. As Satel made her leave alongside one of the other Protectors, the remaining four protectors moving in to help organize the castle protection. Among them, a young man and woman, in particular the young woman that kept looking at him now and then.<br/><br/>The two others were Maron, a tall older man that was known to be among the more 'reasonable' protectors. His fault was liking a good fight a little too much, to the point of looking for them now and then. The other was a man called<em>Steel</em>without any other names in active use. Steel was not as strong as most protectors, but a word had been in the past he was the king'd unofficial 'royal assassin'. His talents at throwing a dagger was known at least.<br/><br/>Watching the two groups leaving, and the remaining soldiers and protectors there, Michael swallowed and spoke up a little concernedly.<strong>"Is there any chance they will come looking around for clues here where the handsome young king has vanished off to?"</strong>He asked this seriously, but looking around suspiciously. The way he was behaving was drawing some attention already. Then again, he was a 'new recruit'. Then letting out a small sigh, Michael spoke up again a bit in thought.<strong>"As for the tax-break, yes I think it could work. Until the king has the taxes he wont be able to pay so much, but getting paid a little and having no need to worry about a tax man should help out a lot."</strong><br/><br/>Smiling a bit, Michael seemed to think on things for a little while, rising a brow briefly in thought before letting out a breath.<strong>"There's not really much hope if the king cant trust anyone, but I figure that its wise to watch out for any informants for now. So yeah, it would make sense to put new recruits to work where they can be watched at least."</strong>Nodding his head, he appeared thoughtful, while Steel walked over and nod his bald, tanned head briefly at knight.<br/><br/><em>"Satel accompanied the king instead of you huh? Don't take it personally. She flashes her cleavage when bowing to him I bet, bitch's a power-grabbing manipulator if I've ever seen one. Even went after some noble girl I hear."</em>He smirked.<em>"On that note, I'm gonna be looking for new recruits for the kingg and the protectors. You got any preferences I need to look out for?"</em>
