"Sire, are you sure you want to do this?" A guard of mine asks. "Mingling with the commoners will not be good for thy status."
"Yes, I am sure. I wish to find a maiden who will love me for who I am, not for the kingdom."
"Of course, sire. I shall have a house set up for you immediately."
"No, I shall find one myself." I smile. "And you shall come to live with moi, Gilbert."
"King Bonnefoy, are you sure?" Gilbert asks.
"Yes, I will need the protection in case anyone should find out." I smile. "And I'll need someone to recommend me for a job."
"S-sire! You can't be serious!"
"I am serious! I shall get a job, I will need it to appear normal."
"Of course, sire."
"Good, now pack your things. We leave at dawn."
"Of course, sire." Gilbert says. "But, I have a family. Why don't you come to live with us?"
"I don't know, who all is included in your family?" I ask.
"Well, there's me, my husband and our son."
"Your husband?" I ask. I was not aware that one of my guards was gay. He blushes and looks down.
"Yeah, Matthew and our son, Peter." He says. "If you do not wish to stay with us-"
"No no, it's fine. You are out of town a lot, no? Please tell them that I am a friend you met while away."
"Alright, but Mattie may not like this." He sighs. "I'll talk to him tonight and then be back here tomorrow."
"Ok, thank you Gilbert."
"It isn't a problem." Gilbert says. "But convincing Mattie might be."
"If you cannot it is fine." I say. "I will find another place to stay."
"Of course." Gilbert bows. "I shall be on my way."
"Farewell." I say waving as he rides away. I hope that his husband will allow me to stay. I sigh and then go to my bedchambers.
I know, sucky first chapter. I hope it will get better but it might not but hey, who doesn't love human AU?
