Quatix

I watched Rosa as she walked through the sunroom. She was wearing a dull gold, one-shouldered sheath gown that flowed to her ankles. It’s sheer fabric left little to the imagination, and I could see her perfect shape beneath the romantic silk.

She turned back to me and smiled. “What are you doing?” she asked.

“Enjoying my view,” I said pointedly.

She blushed immediately and glanced at the guards standing at the balcony just a few feet away.

The sunroom had been built on the second floor of the castle, and the balcony extended out from the castle. Rosa moved forward, her eyes going wide as she realized that we could see part of Vandor from our vantage point. A handful of Svantians were milling about outside the castle’s walls; two children were playing by the giving well, and they waved enthusiastically when they caught sight of her.

Rosa lifted her hand and waved back, before turning to me with a look of delight on her face.

“This balcony is a stroke of genius,” she said, as I came to stand beside her. “You can see your people, and they can see you.”

“That was the idea.” I nodded. “Often enough kings sit upon their thrones in castles that are kept far from the common folk. This room maintains the security of the castle, but still allows the people a glimpse of their king.

“Do you come out here often?” Rosa asked.

I shifted uncomfortably on my feet. “Not as often as I would like,” I admitted.

“It’s beautiful, Quatix,” she said, drawing a little closer to me even as she continued waving.

The two children by the giving well were so delighted that they were dancing around as they continued to wave.

“That’s a beautiful well,” Rosa observed.

I had grown so accustomed to seeing it there that I had completely lost sight of its beauty. I looked at the well through Rosa’s eyes and saw the sculpted, wrought iron top structure, falling into the well’s sturdy stone base. The pulley was simple but large, and it was the only thing that was free from the amber vines that snaked along the well’s substantial structure.

“It’s been standing for many centuries,” I told her. “Generations upon generations of Vandor’s townspeople have collected their water here.”

Rosa smiled. “Everything about Vandor is beautiful,” she said.

I could see that she had fallen in love with my planet and my city, and it only made me love her more. That thin steel rope that had connected us the first time I had laid eyes on her had only grown stronger with the passing days. She had become more than just a beautiful enigma — she had become my closest friend and confidant.

“Good evening, my King, my Queen.”

I turned and saw Brags enter the balcony, with Sophia by his side. Sophia was smiling, but I had known Brags long enough to discern worry on his face, even when he was trying to remain calm.

“What is it, my friend?” I asked, cutting to the chase.

I noticed Rosa glance at me, and her stance changed immediately.
