You met Reve when he was an apprentice in the palace. Though at the time he was inclined to magical proclivities. But as he aged he was hidden for his skill

So he ran

Ran so far that he ended up in a different kingdom. Young and in need of love. The king and queen took him in. Gave him work and a place to live

He refused to acknowledge magic. No one needed to hide him again. And he was gonna make sure of that

That was until you were betrothed to the Prince. The Prince that felt like his brother. His brother with the girl he once adored. The princess he admired.

So when the royals needed a messenger he volunteered. He needed to see his beloved again. Even if it proves she’s grown far too different to be the same person

“Your highness”

He bows before you, looking into your eyes for any hint of recognition.

“The king from Alvaris sent me to bring you this letter”
