The Royal Decree
The king told his daughter that if it had not been for me, things might have turned out differently. In turn, the princess told her father about rescuing me from the storm. That's when the king made the royal decree that I was to be treated as one of the royal family. I was to be allowed to explore the castle at my leisure. It wasn't long before my best napping places were well known. The king even joked that he didn't know how he got along without a pocket dragon napping under the royal throne. Also, as the princess was well beloved by those in the castle, I was never short of tidbits & tummy scratches from the servants. In short, I had it made, but a few months later I started hearing talk about "the trip". Apparently, the castle had not the protection it needed since the rebellious knights were executed. Only a handful had remained loyal & more were needed. The king planned to visit a kingdom ruled by a good friend to fetch some more. Rumors of who would protect the castle in the meantime went around.
