"I knew it would be you!" Borneo said as they made their way to the room Cyril was using in the Prince's palace. This was a different room than the one used during the award ceremony.
"Why do you say that?" asked Cyril.
There were a lot of knights in this kingdom. And he wasn't the only one who deserved it. Cyril thought that surely everyone had the same chance as he did. Didn't all talented people have the same chance?
"Because Prince Algis trusts you. So does the current king. If they trust you, they won't let someone else take over such a sensitive task. I wish you success as well, Sir Cyril!"
Cyril couldn't help but wince. He felt like he was taking advantage of someone. If only he hadn't been so conspicuous, maybe none of this would have happened. It wasn't just Cyril who was being eyed for something as inconvenient as an escort.
Borneo stopped at the door of a room.
