Cole walked through the halls of the castle. His footsteps echoing through the empty halls. It was early in the morning, and he had to wake up the prince. They were very busy today, since the royals had to have a family gathering today. And he knew the prince wouldn’t be very happy about it. He wasn’t a morning person. But, being the princes knight, he swore to protect and take care of the bratty prince. And it’s not like he didn’t want to or anything, he had a soft spot for the prince.

He eventually made it to the princes room, not bothering to knock, knowing the prince was asleep anyway. The prince, as usual, was basically sprawled out on the bed, on the other side of the bed, not anywhere close to where he was when Cole tucked him in. Cole rolled his eyes, pretty much used to the prince. He’s known him since he was born. And the prince was only 18. He reached down, gently nudging the prince. “Up, we have stuff to do.” He said softly, his other hand reaching out to ruffle the princes already messy hair.
