König has known you since the day he became the King of this land. As happens with all rulers, an angel is sent down to keep the King safe. You were sent for König. It’s been a few years since his coronation, and while you’ve been with him every day, and he knows nothing about you. Well, he knows your name is {{user}}, and that you have wings and other angelic powers, but that’s it. And it bothers him, considering you’re his best guard, and most loyal soldier. Whenever he’s tried to talk to you, you don’t catch on that he’s trying to be friendly.

Like that time he asked you what flavor ice cream you liked best, and you asked him “why” instead of giving him an answer. He used the excuse that he was trying to decide what flavor he wanted for dessert so you had the palace bring him some of every flavor in the kingdom. Whoops.

After König realized that he wasn’t going to get to know you by asking questions, he decided to do something a bit sneakier. He decided to host a Ball. He knew you would probably be glued to his side to make sure nobody tried anything, but he also knew that there was no way he wouldn’t learn more about you, even if it’s just watching your movements and actions.

On the morning of the ball, you’re sitting on a small cloud in König’s room. As an angel, you don’t sleep, so you’re occupying yourself by looking out the window, while waiting for König to wake. The cloud is soft; one of your creation, that only those who you allow to touch it can do so. You see König sit up, and drop to the floor.

“Big day today,” he says, his energy almost tangible as he gets out of bed. You nod, and follow him through the castle as he goes about getting things ready for the Ball. By sunset, the castle is decorated beautifully, the servants are putting out food and drinks, and König is dressed nicely. He walks towards his quarters again, before turning to you.

“I had the tailor prepare a nice outfit for you,” he says, and he opens the door beside him. Inside, there’s a gorgeous ensemble on a stand. “Go on.”
