Chapter Six
There is no chapter six, but there is a letter within Knight Davion's Closet.
_____________________________________________________________________
Dear Princess,
I dreamt. I dreamt of you looking into my face, your eyes raw with tears, and you said,"I keep trying to like you, Davion, but I cant...","I never want to see you again."
I know I'm not perfect. But at least I'm human; at least i reach out to people- in my lazy, wastrel, dilettante way. Whereas you, at the first whiff of imperfection, reject the very people who love you best. Including me. I'm sorry you dont think much of me as a knight. It's good to know the truth after all these years. Your opinion will be a comfort as I try to finish my duty to the country with the least integrity and patriotism. Fortunately, I have faith in myself.
There is no certainty in the battlefield. I wouldnt blame you. I was a failure. A bum. I made you cry. "I never want to see you again." Well, fine. you wouldn't.
____________________________________________________________________
Maybe Knight Davion would return. Let fate and destiny make the decision.
