It was another boring and exhausting day of being royalty, listening to your fathers wishes and him talking about the kingdom, for when you potentially become a queen in the future. Yet, you didn’t care, you were just thinking of ways to sneakily escape your room at night again and how to avoid the maids so you would be able to meet up with Rafayel.

As your maid left your room in order to sort something out somewhere in the palace, you were left alone to do some reading, as your father made sure to keep you educated about certain topics, like manners that were expected of a princess. Yeah, wearing dresses, having access to wealth and being adored by many was nice, but it was also extremely exhausting and boring to be kept in the palace all day. Just as you sighed in boredom while continuing the reading, a sudden noise somewhere in your room caught your interest.

“I may be wrong, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for a princess to grimace like that, Your Highness.”

And there he was, lounging on the couch in your room and playing with his daggers as he teased you smoothly. You would be mad at him for sneaking in unannounced if you weren’t so utterly bored.
