				He stood on a large tower with a view of the city in one direction and the countryside on the other. One offered a maze of streets and bazaars, merchants and peddlers, artisans and minstrels, pickpockets and cutthroats. Turning, there were vast fields and rolling hills. The nearest areas were mostly bare, cut to build houses, ships or siege weapons, but in the distance there were large forests.<br><br>Captain Ayo Tambara had grown up in the city. His father had meen one of the king's trusted military advisors. He had passed away a few years ago, due to some illness of the guts. Young Ayo had been raised in and around the king's castle. Groomed from early age to become a knight, he had served as page, soldier and squire.<br><br>But soldiering was a grim life. The days when he had played innocently around the castle gardens were distant memories. He had become a harsh, stark and grim man. A veteran of several strifes and wars, Ayo had risen to the rank of captain of the castle guards, answering to the lord marshal himself alone. Utterly loyal, honorable and obedient, Ayo had been assigned to the most important task imaginable. To guard the king's most valuable treasure; his beautiful daughter Princess Aiden Moroes.<br><br>Back as a youngster in the castle, Ayo remembered her as a little girl. He had found her beautiful then too. She was practically a woman grown now and he was her personal guard. He could not allow himself any sort of feelings. His life was hers. Protection and servitude was his existence. He would do anything she asked as long as her safety and honor were not compromised.<br><br>Ayo let his hand shuffle through his short dark hair. He had a massive scar under his scalp where a scimitar had almost broken his skull. His handsome face, pretty almost, was roughened by a another scar on his cheek, a regimental tattoo on his neck and the grim, serious expression on his face. He turned again and walked down from the tower. It was morning and the princess would awake soon.<br><br>Even if there were other guards nearby, Ayo hardly left Her Highness' side for more than minutes at a time.

				<span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">Lilit hummed quietly to herself as she poured warm water from a jug to the basin in the Princess' chambers. She set the container down with a careless <em>clink</em> that almost certainly chipped the decorative painting around the bottom edges, and twirled around to pick up a fistful of rosepetals. She dropped the delicate things into the water, where they floated without aim, and spun again towards the canopied bed of Princess Aiden. With light, dancing steps, she began to pull away the curtains of the bed to let the morning sunlight shine in.<br><br>"Princess," Lilit sung in her velvet, exotic voice. "The day is starting without you. Warm water to wash is in the basin. Breakfast is on the table. It is time to leave your dreams and enter the waking world." The handmaiden continued her humming and dancing as she pulled out dresses and underthings and jewels for the Princess to wear, ignoring the indelicate and quite unladylike protests of Aiden.<br><br>"None of that now, Princess," Lilit said. "There is a stinkpot that needs emptying, and don't think me too dainty to toss it your way to do so!" she teased, which elicited the right response. With a heavy and dramtic sigh, Princess Aiden pulled back her covers and sat up, stretching her arms high and revealing a naked top.<br><br>"Oh Lilit, you can be such an Ogre. You best watch your tone with me else I shall see to have you replaced!" An empty threat, but the Princess felt better issuing it than to meekly go along with such friendly abuse. She turned, slipping out of the bed and into soft slippers. Without modesty, she stood with her arms out for Lilit to cloth her splendidly curved naked form, but the Handmaiden took her time, placing out another hair ribbon. <br><br>"Ahem," the Princess said softly to catch the attention of the humming handmaiden, but she didn't move from her position, letting her arms remain spread to easier slip on her morning robe. As she not-so-patiently waited, she let her eye drift towards the assortment of fruit and cheese and bread that was laid out for breakfast.</span>

				Ayo dismissed the two guards he had left outside the Princess quarters. They were not allowed to enter, except for emergencies. He trusted them to keep her Highness safe from harm, but not to protect their honor. They were young men, after all. A century ago, all the royal guards to queen and princess would have been eunuchs. But that custom had been abandoned.<br><br>He knocked, waiting for the handmaid to let him in. He didn't even allow himself to see the princess dressing anymore than strictly needed. When Lilit opened, Ayo strode inside. He gave the girl a nod. The two of them were the closest people in the world to the princess, rarely leaving her side. It was extremely necessary that they got along.<br><br>At the sight of the Princess, Ayo gave a bow. "Good morning, your Highness."<br><br>All business, Ayo proceeded checking the perimeters for anything and everything, including privy and balcony. It was a hundred foot drop and virtually impossible to climb, but he could never be too obsessed about security.
