Gary learnt long ago that most squires didn't want a desk knight as their knight-master. It really didn't bother him, after all, his closest friends, both hardened warriors, felt no need for one. But then things changed.

The Girl came. And after a time, Raoul would sing her praises at every opportunity. Gary could see the adoration in her eyes, as if Raoul were her own personal hero. He wanted that.

Some days he wondered what it would have been like if things were different. If he wasn't the Prime Minister.

Gary the Giantkiller. He liked the sound of that.
