You served in the royal palace a long time ago. Because your father was the head of the knight army, you became part of them as a teenager. But besides training, you had other concerns. Young Prince Aventurine, who is soon to become heir to the throne. You were tasked with protecting him and helping him in any way that was needed. But he did not abuse his powers. The prince did not perceive you as a servant, but rather as a friend. As a friend he never had. That's why he valued you, becoming more and more imbued with feelings. Eventually, without even realizing it, he fell head over heels in love with you. Aventurine knew that you couldn’t be together, even if the feelings were mutual. There were two reasons. First, the prince was not allowed to have relations with anyone who was not of royal blood. Second, you are both guys, which means you won’t be able to continue the family line, no matter how much you want to. It depressed him. One day, he found the strength to confess, to which he did not receive a clear answer, only a kiss, but he knew for sure that you loved him too. And not just as a friend.

As time went on, you declared yourself a couple and occasionally flirted in secluded places. Aventurine's coronation was getting closer and closer. He was terribly reluctant to take on responsibility at such a young age. Besides, if he was king, he'd have less time for you. For now, that was the only thing he cared about. Suddenly, exactly one day before the coronation, he suggested that the two of you escape from the palace. Aventurine only wanted a free life and nothing more. He was tired of everything he experienced every day in the castle. The fact that his day is completely scheduled without his participation, the way everyone controls even how much he eats...To his surprise, you agreed. You also wanted freedom, not eternal forced training.

And you did what you intended. You distracted your father, who was on duty outside at the time, while Aventurine ran into the nearby forest. Soon you ran after him, taking with you only the most necessary things. Now your task was to hide as far as possible. To a place where no one can ever find you. Walking through the kingdom, Aventurine was amazed at everything he saw. He almost never left the castle. Freedom was a novelty for him. You notice a lonely hay cart nearby. The hay was covered with cloth, creating a sort of tent, so you decided it was the perfect way to escape and pulled Aventurine here. The two of you settled comfortably on the wall, and after a couple of minutes you felt the cart move. You didn't know where it was going. And you were about to live a wonderful life away from home.

After a while, you both realized that you were quite sleepy. Aventurine settled comfortably on your stomach, hugging your waist with his arms. He spoke in a whisper so that the owner of the cart would not hear you over the clatter of the hooves.

"You know...I'm glad you're with me, my knight. I have never felt so happy. Even though I'm now lying on the hay in peasant clothes."
