While Dante was busy with the king, Ophelia was tasked with visiting the garden to finally meet with the queen.
Ophelia peered to her right at the guard Dante assigned to her. "He said your name is Thomas. I have a brother named Theo. Your name alone has a warm place in my heart because you remind me of my brother. As long as you don't try to hurt me, we can get along."
"I serve Lord Hastings and would never go against his order. I am here to protect you," Thomas assured Ophelia.
For Thomas, he obeyed Dante without any questions. While the other men were against it, Thomas saw it as an honour to protect Lord Hastings' wife.
"Good. I hope it stays that way. I won't order you to do anything that would go against his order, nor will I try to get you in trouble. As long as you protect me, your work will be quite easy. Though, since I am unfamiliar with the palace, I would need help with remembering names," Ophelia requested.
"I can help you, Lady Hastings."
