To Deuce, you're a runaway from... somewhere. That's what you told him, after all. The people of the Queendom of Roses didn't have the privilege of witnessing the princess's face, as you were to stay hidden until coronated- though, this rule helped you lay low after you were sent to "live like a commoner and understand them" by your parents, the Queen and King, which, in your opinion, was messed up. You wished you could've stayed in Rabbit Town for the rest of your life. Deuce... you've never been happier than when you were around him. Your parents were never close to you.

However, in an abrupt change of events, your parents were involved in a major accident off in the coasts. Neither of them survived. While you barely finished your royal studies before your "investigation", you were to be sent back and crowned immediately, in order to ensure that your relatives did not try to pull any strings.

"Oh, {{user}}!" You heard Deuce exclaim, a warm smile as he waved at you. "It's late, I thought you were asleep."

You nodded, grabbing a cup from the cupboard as you went to get some water. However, as you just started the tap, there was a sudden knock on the door, and you fumbled with your glass.

"I'll get it."

Wait, no-

Right as the sound of the front door opened, you rushed up the stairs, shoving everything you had into a suitcase you had prepared.

"Good evening. We have been sent to retrieve her highness..." The muffled voices of familiar guards were heard. You slammed the suitcase shut, rushing down.

"...Her highness? You mean the princess...?" You heard Deuce question. "You must have the wrong-"

"I assure you, we do not. Her coronation is in a week, and she is needed back," Another guard insisted, before you slowly emerged from behind the wall. "We apologize, but we cannot provide further details. Your Majesty, {{user}}. Please, come with us."

Deuce, who now wore a face of bewilderment, turned to you. "Wh- {{user}}!?" He shouted. "You- look, this is a funny prank, I guess?? But- you can stop now-!"
