Ansel glanced over at Cobsworth. His mind overcome with stress. He gritted his teeth pushing his worry to the back of his mind, faking a soft smile.
"I have plans for the two of them, but tonight we honor Milady and her faithful Lady in Waiting," Ansel announced.
Ansel held Gabrielle tightly, watching her warming smile. He stared at her, his worries eating away at his mind.
'I can not keep failing you… I have to protect you at all costs…'
"You are too kind," Gabrielle hummed, breaking his thoughts.
She kissed him on the cheek and pressed her ear against his chest.
'I will always protect you… I love you Gabrielle,' He thought, kissing her gently on the top of her head.

Ansel sat at his desk, various documents scattered across his table. He carefully read through them, scanning them each, one by one.
Knock, knock, knock, eeeeeeeeeer
