"I love you tooooo >:3"
At that moment, one of the guards burst into the room
???: "SIRE! W-We were patrolling the gardens and discovered that the door to the catacombs was open-the boy made it through-h-he's in the gardens!!"
"...He's WHAT?! How is he still alive!?"
"We don't know-the whole squad is scouring the gardens for him as we speak-"
Ray cuddled into him more, frightened. He held onto him
"God dammit...Get the guards back to the castle immediately, make sure they patrol any and every entrance of the castle!"
He nodded
"Yes sir!!"
"Good, oh and open the vault, This human is quite persistent so im not taking any risk, im getting my armor..."
???:"Yes sir, right away-"
Ray looked up at him, eyes wide
"quietly M-Master...I'm scared...."
"It'll be alright Ray...You'll be safe"
"M-Mn-"
He buried his face in the king's chest, scared but knowing that he would protect him-the guard left to go give the orders to the troops
