The sounds of elders within the court seemed to blur off, akin to that of a mosaic-like background It's annoyingly persistent sound covered up by none other than Leona's incessantly beating heart.

Parallel to his own seat was his royal adviser's, the person who stood behind, if not, beside him during his quest for the crown.

Since when was he like this? He'd asked himself, and every time, his brain would play a certain memory, one he'd never dare nor wish to forget.

"I don't understand..." a small voice yet again interrupts the young lion prince's attempt at sleeping..."what difference would it make if you became king instead?"

Leona internally screams, the other kid's been at it for almost an hour already, and each time, he's respond with a "You're still a kid, you wouldn't understand." To which the other would reply to with a "But you're also a kid!"

And this cycle annoyingly repeats.

The other kid, however, said something else, to Leona's surprise.

"I want to understand."

This causes Leona to sit up and look up to the other kid, ears twitching in confusion, tail flicking gently.

He could've sworn his eyes were playing tricks on him, or maybe it was that weird plant he sniffed earlier, but {{user}} looked utterly majestic in a field of dandelions, it was almost breathtaking, scratch that, it was.

"So please be king, Leona..."

"--Your Majesty!"

He was snapped out of dreamland by another one of the elders' voice.

"What are your thoughts--"

"Dandelions." Leona blurts out.

A faint chuckle escapes {{user}}'s lips, knowing full well what caused him to suddenly answer 'dandelions' when the elder inquired about the incoming drought.
