The young man didn't let the queen go without answering. He was the Royal Guard, despite being a two-star captain! He was responsible for the safety of the Queen.
The man followed the Woman inside. "Your Majesty, I'm asking you something. It might be dangerous for you to let that man go. He... He..."
"I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about me," the Queen calmly answered. "Moreover, why are you so concerned about it? It's like you're more concerned than I am. Don't worry; nothing will happen."
The lady simply turned back and disappeared, going back to her resting chamber, leaving the General behind.
There was no one with the General as he stood alone in the hallway, seemingly blank.
"Of course, I will care more about you. It's because I... Love... You." He spoke in a barely audible tone, talking to thin air. No one was here to listen to him.
