The night was hard for alexia to sleep in. She had a bad feeling in her stomach after lying to her mother. She could lie easily to caesar or anyone else for that matter. But whenever she lied to her mother it made her feel uneasy.
In the morning her door was knocked on by someone and she swiftly answered
Pastrami: Oi! The king wants to see you in ghd throne room
Alexia: *Sigh* I knew this was coming…. Let me just get ready for a second.
She put on a regal dress, and her tiara as she would be in the throne room.
Pastrami led her to Caesar's room silently. The way to Throne room was long and arduous, as it was at the highest floor in the castle.
It took them awhile to climb up the endless stairs of the castle.
The silence made of climbing up the stairs made alexis doubt her actions.
Alexia: H-Hey Pastrami.
Pastrami: What is it?
Alexia: I know where not very close, But can I ask you a question?
Pastrami: Of course.
Alexia: Have you ever…. Done anything you weren't supposed to?
Pastrami: ….
He thought about it for a second.
Pastrami: The whole reason I'm here is because I did something I disobeyed my father.
Alexia: Do tell.
Pastrami: Do you really want to hear my backstory milady?
Alexia: Anything to make this journey more interesting.
Pastrami: well when I was young, I use to go to Brothels and 'Gentlemen' Clubs alot.
Alexia: You? I couldn't imagine.
Pastrami: Heh. Me neither now. Anyway… One day When I went to a brothel, I found that no one was there.
Alexia: No one…?
Pastrami: Well there was only one person…. My father.
Alexia: Wait what?
Pastrami: Crazy right? It seems that he bought out the brothel itself just to catch me going to it.
Pastrami: And in then end, I got the punishment of a lifetime - He enlisted me in the army and the rest is history.
Alexia: That's an interesting part of your history…. I wouldve never guessed you of all people would do that.
Pastrami: Thanks for Listening…. But Why did you ask in the first place?
Alexia: N-No reason! Just Curious
She aversly Ran up the stairs even faster, reaching her destination as she did.
If anything she found a commonality in guilt.
