Chapter 26 by merkros merkros

How will you reward Sir Noah for his help?

Your body.

You think about it and run some things through your mind and can only really think of one way that would be fair to him. You look at him plainly and say, "You'll get to use my body however you wish."

Both Sir Noah and Akina stare at you in shock, then Akina stands up quickly and almost stumbles just as quickly, "Your majesty. You don't have to do that....Let me do it."

You turn your gaze to her, "Akina, you need to go see a doctor and make sure your leg doesn't get infected. Your job right now is to recover."

Her expression turns conflicted, before grudgingly agreeing, "I suppose you're right."

Now it's Sir Noah's turn to protest, "Your Majesty, You don't have to do that. You can repay me later if you feel so, or reinstate my knighthood, or something else. You don't even have to pay me."

You stand and walk up to him, "I'm not going to have you do something for me for nothing. I don't want to take advantage of anybody's generosity. Along the same note, I don't want to make promises that I can't keep. I can't give you money, or titles that might never come. The king's men could come in and kill us all tomorrow and all of your efforts would be wasted and you wouldn't get your just deserts. My body is the only asset I have right now that I can use to pay you with right now, for your services."

Sir Noah struggles with your reasoning and his reservations, "I...Yes, Your majesty."

"Good." You step back and look at the only two people you trust right now. " Now, I've had a long day and I'm going to get some rest. I'll need some armor..Probably some leather or other kind of light armor. I've never really worn any, so I guess I'll need some help in the morning with it. Both of you should get your own rest. We have a lot of work ahead of us."

Sir Noah bows and Akina nods before leaving. You sigh and nearly collapse onto the hammock. Your mind drills through all of the things that has happened and where to go from here. Those thoughts continue to pour through your mind until you fall asleep.

The next day, you wake up early and pour through Boris' paperwork.You learn that while they're doing well on food, they have quite the lack of coin and only 32 people. While you're paging through the information you hear someone walking up towards the tent. You figure it's Akina or Noah coming to help you get into whatever armor they found for you.

Who arrives?
