💛 👑 Umbra x Penumbras 🌙 💜

   It was a lovely spring evening. Penumbras was chilling in his room. He sat on his bed and carefully trimmed one of his houseplants. He admired the tiny thing.

   The plant in his hand was a rose! A yellow rose. Penumbras was lost in his stare. The beautiful gold reminded him of someone. Someone very special to him.

   He gazed at the magnificent plant and was reminded of his Queen. Her golden eyes shined bright than an exploding supernova! It was entrancing to say the least.

   His few moments of peace were interrupted when a mysterious figure barged into his room. They slammed the door open and immediately began rambling.

   Penumbras turned around and saw Jaxe! He looked extremely scared. His eyes illuminated with absolute terror. His body trembled with fear. He spoke to Penumbras with concern in his voice, very uncharacteristic for him.

   "What are you doing?! The Queen has been calling you for the past hour!" The Pumpkin beckoned.

   "Wait, what?" Penumbras replied in confusion.

   "Bro, shes furious. I think shes going to kill you or something."

   Penumbras instantly hopped out of bed and rushed to the Throne room. Oh god, he was going to be punished, wasn't he? He knew something bad was going to happen.

   He's never been punished by the Queen before. He's always been on time when she called. He never knew what she did to discipline unruly knights but, he heard it was dreadful.

   He overheard a Pike speak about how he was hung from the ceiling until the blood filled his brain. A Lunar Shield told a story of being  whipped and flacked. These were all horrendous torture methods.

   As Penumbras came to a screeching stop to the doors, he took a deep breathe. Maybe just explain the situation to her and it'll be alright?

   He opened the doors and blurted out an apology. "My Queen! I deeply apologize, I'm here now. I couldn't hear your voice from my quarters."

   In the throne room were Guards standing at full attention. They lined up on either side of the room with their backs straight and their chins high up.

   Lunar Servant and Solar Servant stood on either side of the Queen's throne. They looked stern and unmoving. They appeared to be mannequins at first glance.

   The Queen glared at him with disappointment in her eyes. She scoffed at his excuse. How dare he defy her!

   "I don't care. You made me wait nearly an hour for a response! That's disrespectful. Perhaps, even treason."

   Umbra scowled at the disobedient Knight. She wanted to punish him for his insubordination and unprofessional manner but, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

   Penumbras looked like an apologetic puppy who just chewed up a slipper. She wanted to have him stripped and whipped but she just couldn't. He was too damn cute.

   Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped in her mind. She knew an excellent punishment for the Knight. It would utterly embarrass him while she was rewarded.

   "Penumbras! For your unprofessionalism, I want you to sit next to me."

   The Guards, Servants and Penumbras curiously tilted their heads and looked at the Queen. What kind of punishment was sitting next to the Queen?

   "C'mere and sit so I can keep an eye on you, to make sure you don't disobey me again."

   Penumbras was confused. He had never been punished by the Mistress before so he was oblivious to her methods but, what's sitting next to her going to do?
