Lucia was still in the throne room. She had knelt there, waiting for the king to return. He did not so far, but Lucia had gotten exhausted. Kneeling in that armor wasn't the easiest of things. By now, Lucia had passed out, her helmet laying besides her and she laying on the floor of the throne room.MrPotato said:

Seth wandered around the fields of the castle. His broadsword, tingling as the wind goes by and his golden hair swaying to the calm, gentle breeze. As he passed some of the soldiers, they would give him a form of salute, a nod or a bow.
He wondered what plans does the king have next in mind. He thought to go and hunt the adventurers, make an example out of one of them. That would stop the people's hopes of a rebellion.
He eventually stopped by a hill overlooking the town. He sat with his left leg stretched out and his right leg bent. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, waiting.

Lucia did not answer. How could she, she was out. She kept there, movelessly, her eyes closed and her breath calm. A simple touch would be enough to disturb the balance her body was in and make her fall ove rto any direction.MrPotato said:

Seth opened his eyes. He got up and dusted himself. He went back to the castle to find King Valerian. He went inside the throne room.
Much to his surprise, he saw Lucia kneeling at the side of the throne. He walked to her, "Lucia? Where's the king?"
Lucia fell to the side, making a lot of noise as she hit the ground. Her helmet fell out of her grip, rolling a bit forward.MrPotato said:

"Lucia?" He went closer to nudge her lightly on the shoulder, not aware that she had passed out while kneeling.
The doctor quickly found out what was the reason of her fainting. It was simple exhaustion. A simple small splash of water would wake her up and that was what the doctor did and then left towards some other patients.MrPotato said:

Seth jumped back. He saw the lifeless body of Lucia sprawled on the floor. He thought she was dead when he realise there was a faint breathing. No servants were around at the point of time.
Seth quickly made the decision to carry Lucia to the medic's chambers. With her armor on, she would be twice as heavy. But nonetheless, he carried her. He unlatch his broadsword and left it beside her helmet. He lifted her up but with some slight difficulty. She was pretty heavy.
He quickly walked to the medic's chambers which fortunately, wasn't too far from the throne room. He barged into the medic chambers and quickly laid her on an empty bed. He told the doctor what had happened as he inspected Lucia. Seth removed her armor carefully to allow her some more breathing room.

She seemed shocked, even a bit depressed. "I passed out?", she asked, tears of humiliation filling her eyes. "I am a disgrace to my rank...", she said and the tears ran down her face. Her voice was bitter and defeated.MrPotato said:

"Forgive me. I did not mean to strip you bare of your armor. But you had collapsed out of exhaustion in the throne room." He said with a tint of guilt in his voice. "But your armor is fine." He gestured to her armor on a table while he spoke, hoping that would make up for his actions. He tried not to meet Lucia's eyes. There was just something about her. A feeling. One that he has never felt before. A sweat trickled down his spine. He had never sweat in fighting. But here and now, he sweat when talking to her.
Lucia listened depressedly, but at the end, she couldnt help but giggle. "You literarily slept in a meeting?", she laughingly asked. THe last months, Lucia had laughed rarely, mostly because she had nothing to laugh at all. She had been busy and had been in concern about the king, who seemed to downright ignore her from time to time. But now, she laughed heartly. She then smiled at Seth and laid a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks. That made me feel better.", she said and got up. She went to her armor and then looked at Seth again. "I´d rather not have you look at me while i put my armor on... so... could you... turn?"MrPotato said:Seth, the Knight of One
Seth was surprised to see Lucia cried. He was lost at the moment. He knelt by the bed and tried to comfort her. He awkwardly took her hand and tried to comfort her. "Hey. Don't cry. Everyone makes mistakes. We can't stop that. You were really exhausted." He said warmly and reassuringly to her. He recalled a point of time when he had made a grave mistake as well. He gave a small quiet laugh.
"Before I was the Knight of One, there was this time when I was practicing and perfecting my blades until I had forgotten entirely about sleep. The next day, I was really tired and I had to attend a meeting along with King Valerian. No matter what I did, I couldn't stay awake. I felt asleep and the worst of all, I was snoring. It was truly embarrassing and humiliating. From that point onwards, I swore I wouldn't repeat that mistake. Thankfully, I've yet to snore in another royal council." Seth joked as he recalled that incident.
