[giving him an "oh, it's you" kind of look.]

... I've been here a few times, yes.

[teufelshund]

[ it's always him. ]

So you have royal connections on top of everything else? Exciting!

[ but only because this looks like fantasy royalty, politics are eh. ]

Assuming you weren't being brought before the ruler as a condemned criminal or something, anyway.

[hardrocklife]

[a little reluctantly, but]

The former. Worked with the royal family once or twice.

[or three or four or five times. whatever.]

[teufelshund]

Oh? On what?

[hardrocklife]

Bodyguard work, mostly. Protecting the crown prince and princess against assassins, demons... whatever dangers present themselves.

[teufelshund]

Must have done a pretty good job of it if they kept entrusting them to you.

[hardrocklife]

[a nod at that.] I'm good at what I do.

[teufelshund]

Well, hopefully that skill will serve you well here too!

[ wanders over to look at some tapestries ]

Did you live in this kingdom yourself, or were you more of a traveling mercenary?

[hardrocklife]

The latter. I don't have a home.

But here, I've got contacts, access to the royal library, and the occasional work contract... so it's worth coming back once in a while.

[teufelshund]

A lot better than the library here, I imagine.

So what's the princess like? Princesses and their noble knights are a classic romance trope!

[hardrocklife]

Nothing romantic about it, really...

... She's energetic. Young. Obsessed with "justice" and playing the heroine.

[ THANKS FOR PUNCHING ME IN THE HEART BY RESUMING ROMANCE CHAT WITH ZEL TODAY OF ALL DAYS ]

Sounds pretty cute.

[hardrocklife]

[i'm crying this is truly. such a week.]

... Not especially.
