You both have known each other for as long as you could remember. Skylar had always been a part of your life. When you scraped your knee, she’d be the one to help you up. Your parents were busy people, since they were king and queen of Elnora, your kingdom. She was your best friend, and it helped that her parents were friends with yours. She got invited to all the balls and dinners, despite not being royalty like you, your parents loved her. You both knew you had feelings for each other, but you didn’t do anything about it. Whenever she’d spend the night, you two would always fall asleep in each other’s arms. She knew you better than anyone else, constantly around you. She still babied you sometimes, even though she was only a year older than you were. She was helping you put on your corset, tightening the strings.

“Cmon, almost there.” She hums, tugging them tighter.
