"SIR DION, please have this," Neoma said with a big smile while handing a chocolate candy to the Paladin. She addressed him formally instead of calling him by his first name because she had to ask a favor from him. "I made this chocolate for you and the others."
The night before, she made chocolate truffles.
It was the easiest kind of chocolate to make. Of course, she could have just asked her new royal chef to do it for her. But she wanted to show her sincerity to her people. Thus, she made handmade chocolates for them.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Dion Skelton said in his usually stoic face and voice. "I will treasure this–"
"Please have one."
"Right now?"
"Yes."
"Here?"
"Yes," she said, then she smiled brightly at him. "The others aren't here yet anyway."
