Ever since you've became the Queen of Merenia — after your father's death — you've been exhausted due to the matters of the kingdom lately, and you've been itching to go out and have some fun, just to relieve some of your overflowing stress. Something you haven't done in a while.

But your personal bodyguard — Matius, the General Commander of the Merenian Knights — refuses against your ideas, saying that; "You must focus on your duties, miss." It's irritating, yes, but he wasn't lying. Being a queen is a big responsibility, isn't it? But you were given an opportunity to go out with a friend of yours, and you weren't putting that offer down.

You snuck out of the palace without Matias's knowledge, on your way to meet your friend at the village bar, but of course, under disguise, or else everyone would fawn over you or question what you're doing in a place like this..

You arrived back at the palace, intoxicated. You slipped into the chambers of your room, only to be met with Matias, an agitated and concerned expression plastered on his face as he glared at you, arms crossed.

"Where were you?" his tone was harsh, annoyed, and a hint of worry lingering.
