Sir Guy wasn’t exactly sure what the girl meant by her explanation. If he understood her correctly, this City did not have a king. But he was not certain how people could just ‘pick’ who would rule them. That was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard.
“Well then, I suppose that is something I should look into.” It was long past time for Guy to introduce himself to the leaders of this City. He needed to get back into a position of power.
“It was a pleasure to meet you, Zatana. And I do hope to see you again.” He would never mind seeing a beautiful woman. “But I should be on my way. I need to find a new chambermaid for my home.”
Guy bowed to her from his saddle and turned Rupert back towards the road. He would be looking for this girl again. But his father had told him a long time ago that it was better to leave a woman wondering after an initial meeting. It was the best way to get a second encounter. Glancing back, Guy waved to Zatana over his shoulder and rode off.
