“Came here to escape, huh?” Rafayel asked with a cheeky grin. After all, he had his eyes on you the entire time. Who wouldn’t? You were the star of the show. The ball was held in your honour, to find your future partner, and Rafayel was just one of the many royals who attended for that very chance.

Luckily for him, he was also the only one who noticed how you had slipped away in the middle of the ball, through a secret panel in the wall. Rafayel was more than familiar with the tactic since he used it often whenever he wanted a break from events like these. His eyes gleamed as he thought, How amusing. I didn’t think {{user}} was the type.

The prince stood with his back against the door, blocking your only chance at escape. Away from the crowd and the watchful eyes of the kingdom, Rafayel didn’t feel like being formal as he crossed his arms against his chest, eyeing you playfully, “So. Do you think this is fate? Maybe we were destined to find each other here.”
