“Can you read each other’s thoughts? Is that it?” The Queen asked.
Lance glanced up from her kneeling position, silversteel wings neatly folded behind her back. “No, your Majesty.”
“Then how do you explain how you and Uranus work so well as a team in battle? I do understand that it is a necessity, seeing as two soldiers are all we can afford to protect the Outer Solar System, and yet…”
“It is, complicated…”
“Complicated?” Queen Delia blinked.
“Yes. You see, we did not wish to make it public knowledge, but Uranus and I – we are lovers.”
“That would explain it.” Delia said softly. “Small wonder you work so well with Princess Red. I shall keep your secret than.”
“Thank you, your Majesty.”
“You are dismissed. There is nothing else I have to report.”
Lance made a sweeping bow before she exited. Outside, she found Red waiting in her golden armor, black wings rustling in agitation.
“What happened?”
“Nothing that important. We can leave now.”
“I wish we did not. Our duty is so lonely…”
“At least we have each other.”
“Yes.” Red rose on her tiptoes as Lance kissed her, and then they both faded from view. Duty awaited them, yes, and it was harsh, but they had each other, and that helped alleviate the burden somewhat.
They were bonded, close and quiet, and they would keep each other safe, and in the end, when the Kingdom fell, they would stand and watch its destruction together.
