His happiness dwindled when he met with Lord Reign Valystasia. "My apologies, Sir Heavyaxe" Reign had said, hiding his smile behind a well positioned hand. He looked upon the dwarf who was heavily armored; ringmail from the shoulder to his legs, iron helmet topped off with both his axes on his back, "I should have been more detailed in my request, but need someone to tend to my niece while I finish my work here, unfortunately, I will be busy for quite some time, I hope you can still accept this quest" the lord seemed sincere enough which is why Brone felt he couldn't back out, even if the quest turned out to be a babysitting request. So he accepted.
Brone was led by the maid to Lora's room, during the walk, the dwarf couldn't help but marvel at the expensive décor that lined the home. The door was opened and the maid introduced them, "My lady Lora, this is Sir Brone Heavyaxe, he will be accompanying you during your outside activities" the maid's voice was soft spoken, and Brone expected the young girl who he saw would be the same, though he was wrong.
"Very well then, take me to the beach" the child stood up from a bundle of stuffed animals that sat around a small toy teaparty set. Lora, tossed her blonde pigtails behind her head, her chin was up, and with her cold expression, she acted as if she owned everything, including visitors who walk in her shadow, though she was simply a child. Brone gritted his teeth, trying to force a smile.
