So here they were, a knight and his king. The last time Alfred met the man, he was still a prince and Alfred himself only an eight year old child of a noble family. He didn't know if his king remembered. Memories of a party, a small Alfred was bored and stomped out of the palace; he was sulking, for mother was too busy socialising and refused to play with him. So he took his bunny by the ear and dragged the stuffed animal with a sour face outside. The royal palace's garden was large but boring, just plain grass, too neatly cut and killed all adventure. So he just followed the cold walls of the castle whilst mumbling sounds of a battle kawoom, fshaaa, you are not keeping the princess, witch for I will save her woooosh.
Then his sky blue eyes widened at the sight of a wall made of thick leaves at the backside of the castle. Inside was another garden, he discovered with racing heart beats, excitement built up in him. It was a nice garden and it was fond of roses. Somebody took care of it, he figured; still it was simultaneously wild, leaving space for adventures, because there were trees and high bushes, a pond with frogs and fishes. There was an elegant white bench, on it was a book, young Alfred hadn't yet learned how to read fluently.
And amidst the rose garden was a boy, significantly older than him, crouched and grooming the blooming flowers, he was smiling and seemed to talk to the roses.
And that older boy looked up and smiled at him. His eyes were green as yonder garden, he remembered. And that was the first time and also the last time Alfred met his present king.
He was brought back to the present by a hen fluttering in front of his nose. He cursed.
"Majesty, why did you ask me to follow you?"
