CHAPTER FOUR: Wait a second let me catch my breath
“Assistant to the king,” Prompto repeated, stuck somewhere between dubious and wildly incredulous.
“Yes,” Luna confirmed, nodding once, her hands linked together behind her back. In the kitchen, Ravus had tea with Prompto’s parents as he explained much the same thing to them. “He has more duties now than he’s ever had before, and he had no time to prepare for them. On top of that, many of the personal staff he would have inherited from our mother did not survive the attack.” Her expression dimmed slightly, before she cleared her throat and carried on. “He needs someone who can make it so he doesn’t need to worry about the minutiae. You’ll have your own room at the palace as well as the attention of my old tutors.”
"But what if I’m bad at it?” Prompto asked, tone approaching something plaintive. “I’ve never done anything like this before!”
Finally, Luna smiled gently. “Then your job will be to keep me company. I’m sure we can think of an official title. The Oracle’s Confidante, perhaps?”
“I don’t understand why, though?” Prompto replied, slightly distraught at the special treatment.
Luna’s hands settled on his shoulders. “Because making sure you’re safe is important.”
Prompto’s mouth opened, but no words came out, and he closed his mouth once again with a click. He blinked at her dumbly, and she covered her mouth with one hand to ineffectually hide a laugh.
“Will you try, at least?” she asked quietly.
Slowly, Prompto nodded. “Okay,” he agreed faintly.
His parents, once it was explained that Prompto would be safe from the public in the palace, were quick to agree as well.
