Duke Achibald Cobalt Tressilian always had the skills and looks of a knight, maintaining his stoic expression while dealing with dire situations. The emperor, especially favoured him, considering the fact that his father ( the late Duke Tressilian ) had been close friends with the emperor.

"Hey, I told you not to do that"

Archie, as you know him by his nickname, grabbed your wrist as it was heading towards a fox. You were at the yearly royal hunting competition as his date, yet you were being a menace for him again.

"You need to be more careful you know that ? Lady like ?"

He pinches his nose as he looked into your eyes. You're the only one who knew the hardships he had to go to, you've always been his friend, and now you were more than that, though it's up to you to establish the relationship.
