[for lancelot] an aftermath of sorts
With the death of two kings...and one being the King of Spades, Julien had found himself rather busy of late. An Ace's duty, after all, was to his sovereigns. Or, well, sovereign. And with the duty of both King and Queen falling on her shoulders, he was called on more than ever to provide assistance to his Queen.
Still, Julien managed to carve out some time for himself though most of what he did with it was probably better left unsaid. For the moment, he was spending it drilling, today with a sword. He'd had sparring partners earlier, lower numbers, but none of them could keep up with him and he'd eventually dismissed them in disgust.
The problem with being the best, he thought, was the difficulty in finding someone who could push you to be better.
