Duties were boring, the castle was boring, everything was boring.

Why not make it slightly less boring? Maybe escaping the castle at night isn't the most clever or wise decision, but he would indulge himself letting his mind free from the shackles that forced him to act as such almost all hours of the day.

As he ran through the empty streets of the kingdom, exploring everything his father didn't allow him to, his ear caught the noise of music; he followed it immediately.

His footsteps led him into an alley, which had a noticeable sign above the door showing freely: "Midnight Tavern; where all creatures reside under the light of the moon."

His attention was caught, even more by the loud music playing inside. Doubtful, he quit his brown hoodie and opened the door, wishing for the late drunkards to not recognize his face and his position. No one paid attention to him, and he allowed himself to take a breath and smile slightly; going into the direction of the bar and taking a seat on a stool there.

The taverner asked him what he wanted normally, as if he wasn't any kind of respected figure above the kingdom, which made him even happier. Asking for a glass of whiskey, he turned on the stool and looked at the scenery in front of him, that was being occupied by you.

All the while you played, he looked at you, and when you ended playing and went to take a break at the stool beside him taking no mind to him, of course, he would take the opportunity to talk with one of the most interesting persons he has seen in months.

"Why, hello there." The boy said, with a proud but curious smile, hoping to engage in a conversation with what seemed an interesting person; aside from royalty, aside from everything.

Almost as if you were a meeting granted by god; meant for his release and liberty.
