    looked at me and then glanced at the rank pins at my throat. I could hear him swallow as he tried to get a hold on his courage. “It is an honor to meet you, your grace,” he said, extending his hand. “I am very pleased to meet you as well, Makeal.” “Uncle Drake, quit scaring the poor man to death,” Daniel said from across the room. As Cleo led the young man away, I could hear him whisper, “Why does he have weapons?” “He is PG and my father’s most trusted man. Only the emperor may take his weapons from him.” Cleo smiled as the young man pulled her seat out for her. I nodded my approval as she sat and he pushed her chair in. Dinner was fun.
