Alex walked out of the throne room and two of the elders suddenly walked next to him. He was surprised for a moment. "Do you need something, seniors?" he asked.
"No, your Majesty," the elders said. "We are merely walking next to you."
"Why?" he asked.
"You are now a King. We cannot let you walk around on your own. Us servants must be with you at all times," the two of them explained.
"It's fine, you know," Alex said. "I'm used to being alone. I can call for you if I need your help."
"Please let us accompany you wherever you go, your Majesty. We will feel better if we are around you whenever you might need something," the two said.
"Can't I at least be alone in the palace itself?" Alex asked.
"If that is your wish, then yes," the two said.
