Chapter Two – The Reassignment
I awoke to silence, and, somewhat worried that nobody was in my room, I got up and moved out of the bedroom. I found, of all people, Dimitri, sitting on the couch, reading a book. Well, he Was reading, now he was standing facing me.
"Guardian Belikov, I mean, Dimitri, what are you doing here?"
He sighed, "Rose was reassigned, so I was sent to replace her, and you also have another Guardian that you can meet later."
I was shocked, "Wait, reassigned, to who?"
Dimitri closed his eyes and lowered his head, "She is a member of the Queen's Royal Guard."
My jaw dropped, "She is guarding the Queen Bitch now? How could that have happened?"
Dimitri sighed again, "Recent events have forced the Queen to take measures for her protection, and moving all experienced Guardians to her Guard is part of it. The Guardian she is replacing is being moved to you. So you should know that you are well protected."
Dimitri looked at his watch, "By the way, the Queen wants to see you in about 15 minutes, sorry for not waking you. But I figured you would want the sleep."
I couldn't move, speak, or even close my mouth. I just couldn't believe that Rose had moved to protecting the Queen Bitch, Tatiana herself. Even if it hadn't been her choice, did she protest?
"Wait, did Rose even object? Or did she just take the job?"
"Well, she did ask why she was transferred, but then after it was explained to her, she sort of got over it. I guess she realized objecting wouldn't do her any good."
I sighed, "Well, I guess we should get going. Especially if Tatiana wants to see me."
Dimitri nodded, and after I had a quick shower, we headed off for the Royal housing.
