53 Chapter 21: Pendragon, A Dance (1/2)

”Augustus. Huh” Faith shrugged her shoulders as she leaned back on the concrete ”And Lucius…”

”You're from Rome, and I take it.”

As she was looking behind her to catch her breath, Lucius walked towards her.

Float

He picked her up princess style which surprised her.

”Lu-”

”I was surprised when I first saw you. How should I repay you, My Savior.”

Faith was cut off as she saw his smile nearby.

”May I have the honor to have a dance with you.”

She snapped out of her trance and smiled ”Of course.”

He lightly let her feet touch the ground, and the two began to dance.

”Did the King invite you?” Faith asked.

”Yes”

”You must be important then, Ah, could you be a duke.”

”Hehe, you got me there.”

”A person that was invested by the King must be either a prince or a duke. The ruler of Rome has had no heirs since his death, so you must be one of the competing Dukes. I guess that you're the duke who shares blood with the pope.”

”Not Bad, you have almost guessed everything.”

”I'm pretty good at guessing aren't I.”

Faith was really enjoying herself, although she was pushing certain feeling to the back of her mind. By the time they stopped Faith was out of breath, it wasn't because she was out of stamina. It was because she was having trouble with something else.

”Well Sir, Lucius it was more than a pleasure to have this dance with you.”
