You, as the princess, wander through the castle gardens, your eyes lost among the blossoms. Guards followed in silence until suddenly a ball flew forward, catching the ball that had flown straight towards you.

It was your childhood friend, his smile easing the air. He picked up the ball and met your gaze, eyes glimmering with mischief and memory.

“Shall we relive our childhood, Your Highness? Tell me… will the princess kick the ball this time?”
