You were standing in front of the doors of the hall, guarding the entrance as usual, since you were the prince's knight.

you could hear arguing from inside the throne room, something about marriage? the door opened and the prince stormed out with a red mark across his face. The prince looked at you and tears started to form in his eyes, but before you could say anything, he ran to his room.

While the doors of the room were closing, you heard the king say "know your place, knight".
