In Milena's lordship, she was in bed with her boyfriend, Lancer. They both cuddle in the bed not wanting to get out of it. "Is it morning?" She asked, her eyes are closed, and her clothes are on the floor alongside Lancer's. Lancer looks at her, the scars from the previous wars, healed and looked more of a human than before. He placed his hand over her face. "Yes"
She hugs him tight, giving a heavy sigh after the light from outside tapered with her eyes.
She opens them and her gaze meets Lancer's. "I wonder what my father will think of this, we are not married and you're no lord…" He embraced her, her head meeting his chest, the warmth of their bodies made them more comfortable. "It's love that we feel, it's not a bad thing…" He kissed her forehead. "And lord Hunter needs to learn that."
A strange knock is at the door. "Guys, it's me Theodore, can I come in, are you two naked?" He chuckled from the other side, knowing that his best friend and his cousin are in love. He arrived at her lordship two days ago, he needed to gather some information about an ancient object. "This is disrespectful Theo!" She shouted. "Get dressed, his majesty needs to talk with the lady of this domain." Theodore referring to himself. He quickly leaves them.
Footsteps on the corridor could be heard walking away from the door. "Didn't he say he doesn't like to be called majesty?" Asked Lancer, they get out of bed and start to get dressed. "Lancer, I have one question?" Lancer looked at her, she was in her underwear, red flower detail underwear. "Why do Theo and Rinehart call you Ghost?" Lancer looks down at the floor, embarrassed. "We should get dressed."
He didn't give her an answer, he got dressed in silence, pretending he didn't hear the question.
In the throne room, Theodore was sitting on Milena's throne, reading a book, it had no title, or no writer on it. All Milena's servants see Theodore, he is dressed with a huge white coat, black jeans, a vest and a shirt underneath it. The coat had a support for his missing arm.
One of the servants came forward, they looked ashamed. "King Theodore, it is disrespectful to sit on her throne…" Theodore sighs and gets up from it. "It was disrespectful if she was here and I would've sat on her, in her face" He walks up to the servant and looks at them with a kind smile. "But thank you for having the courage to tell me that." He proceeds to continue reading the book in front of the servant.
Milena and Lancer enter the throne room, their footsteps echoing the room, previously silent. Theodore looks at them with a giant warm smile. The servant moves towards his lady's ear and whispers that he sat on her throne.
"Milena, finally woken up? I asked the servants to knock, but they brought lots of excuses." His smile doesn't disappear from his face. He closed the book.
"Why did you sit on my throne, don't you have your own?" She asked, trying not to laugh or act up. "Well being honest, your throne is more comfy than mine" He looks at Lancer. "How are you holding up Ghost?" Asked Theodore. Lancer had none of it, he looked annoyed ready to strangle Theodore.
"Why are you here Theo? You mentioned something about 'his majesty' needing to talk to Milena. What's going on?" Lancer had a fight with Theodore one year ago, he remembers it like it was yesterday. Theodore doesn't remember, but Lancer does.
He remembers how he stabbed Theodore, and how Theodore just wanted to help him get through, he is mad at Theodore for being better than him. "Why is he smiling at me?" This question appears and reappears in Lancer's head.
Theodore looked at him. "I've found a trace of Hunter, and the book I was after." He walks closer to them. "I wanted to say that, I am going to leave, thank you for your hospitality."
He read the room, he knew his once friend hates him, he didn't know why, but he knew he can't do anything about it, people just can't change their hearth like that.
"Ghost, I am sorry for whatever discomfort I've created in the past years—" "SHUT UP!" Lancer shouted he is now face to face with Theodore. "Ghost I–" Lancer punched Theodore, he fell on the ground. Theodore looked at him, he realized that Ghost despised him.
"What did I do to you?" Said Theodore laying on the floor. "I saved you from the ruins, I saved your limbs, I paid you well, I treated you like a brother, what have I done wrong, I don't know."
Theodore got up looking at him. "Theo, my name is Lancer Fritz not Ghost!" Theodore gets up and heads towards the exit planning his leave. Milena looked at him disappointed. "We are gonna talk later." She runs outside, Theodore was getting ready to leave. "Theo!" She runs down the stairs. Theodore looked at her running down the stairs. She is now in front of him. "Where is my father?" Theodore looks in her eyes. "Hunter is in the wildlands…" He gets ready to enter his vehicle. "Can you tell me why he left me?" Theodore turns back to her. "
He got cursed by the gods because he tried to bring back your mother… He left to find a cure, and in these 3 years he probably gave up, but I didn't" He shows her the book. "This book will help me cure him. I'll be out of the kingdom for a while, so take care of yourself, cousin." He enters his vehicle and drives away from Castle Black.
