One Pace Behind
A Thursday Prompt story
© 2022 by Walter Reimer
Prompt: precedence
Crowds of spectators had been gathering in Kervina’s Royal District during the previous night as the kingdom’s Parliament prepared for its ceremonial opening by the King. Tradition demanded that, no matter the weather, the royal procession walk from the Palace, past the High Court, and receive the blessing of the Grand Bishop before proceeding to the legislature.
Daniel Hart arched his back, raised his chin, and tried again, succeeding in clasping the stock collar of his Guard uniform without pulling on too much of his fur. He smoothed the sunset-gold tunic down and reached for his sword belt as his ears swiveled at a knock on the door. “Come in,” he said as he started to buckle the belt.
“Dan? Are you ready yet?” Princess Electra asked as she stepped in. She was wearing a white dress, the only color being the ice-blue sash of the Order of the Holy Union (Female Division). He wore a similar sash, but in forest green because he was a buck, not a doe. “Oh my, don’t you look handsome,” the whitetail doe said.
He grinned. “And you look beautiful.” He leaned down and gave her a peck on the cheek.
“Flatterer. Father sent me to ask if you were ready yet. The procession will start in ten minutes.”
Daniel nodded, attaching his sword’s scabbard to the belt and scooping up his uniform cap. “Ready now.” He offered her his arm, she took it, and they left the room.
As they headed down the hallway to the Palace’s foyer, Electra glanced up at him. “Um . . . “
“Yes?”
“Did – did Father explain how you’re supposed to follow me?”
Daniel nodded. “Yes. One pace behind and to your right. He explained that until we’re married, I’m not technically equal to you in rank.”
“Yes,” Electra said, sounding slightly relieved. “Um – does that bother you?”
“Of course not. And I’ll tell you why.” She swiveled her ears, and the buck said, “I get to look at your ass.”
Her laughter echoed down the hallway.

Brit show "Top Gear', three nutcases that liked cars. One show they had three cars to drive and 'test', and there was one of the cars all three hated the looks of but one had to drive. As the other two are teasing/insulting the loser and the car he's driving he points out his one advantage: he's in the car and therefore isn't being forced to look at how ugly the dang thing is!
