Snippet #1884541

Takumi thought he had a solution. "Now I doubt that any of you would accept this, however, I will offer the suggestion up as an offering of goodwill." He turned to the left of the shield where the Captain of the Guards was standing anxiously wanting to help his king. "Captain Seung, You have been looking for a wife for the past several years, is that correct?" the man snapped to attention,
"Yes, Lord."
Turning back to the girls, Takumi continued, "I personally give you my guarantee that this man is my finest soldier. He is honest, benevolent, protective, and faithful. He is the highest of all of my guards, and I hear quite a bit of gossip that he is one of the most desired men in the area. Captain, do any of these women please you?"
He nodded, "Yes, Lord they are all quite charming."
"Do you have another partner for the remaining evening?"
"No, Lord."
"Then I see it rather appropriate, that at the very least, one of you ladies should dance with my Captain. If you choose to marry him, you may not be the queen, but you would be highly respected, and hold heavy say in local affairs. I believe that the position would be similar to a baroness." This was the next best thing he could offer. He had decided that Viola was the only girl here who held his attention, and none of the other girls even came close to gaining his interest. But he hated to be so rude as to tell these girls no, and be rid of them. Other than being queen, this was the highest available position to be gained by marriage.

OOC: Sorry this is kind of random.
