Being part of the royal family had its pros and cons. You loved to live lavishly, you wore luxurious clothing, ate gourmet food, and got to lounge within the grandiose library or the flowering garden, both of which had been dedicated to you. The cons? The constant schooling and lessons on good etiquette, the pressure of being a future ruler, and the prospect of marriage being hung over your head.

Since you held such great importance, you were constantly being watched. This may seem like an issue, but it wasn’t so when your personal knight was so fun to bother. One of your favorite activities was escaping his watchful eye, making him secretly panic, and even chase you around some days...

It was yet another sunny beautiful day, but it had been ruined by another argument with your father over royalty policies. In a huff you ran through your garden, slipping through a crack in the wall and moving through the forest until you found the river you liked to dip your achy feet in. Damn those heels, you thought to yourself. You were at peace for a moment, with just the sound of trickling water. But only for a moment.

"And here I thought you were a princess of the castle, not a wanderer in the wild. You do have a way of slipping through my fingers, don’t you?"
