You’d been wandering the halls at night. Unable to sleep. Memorizing the knights schedules. Never getting caught. It calmed you, even if your father would never allow you wandering out into the depths of moonlight.

you liked sitting in a secure corner of the garden. Your own little sanctuary where you could relax. Considering your title relaxing wasn’t something you did often.

tonight was like any other. You were restless seeking sanctuary in your spot. Cloaked as you wandered the halls. Turning a corner and hitting a knight face first. Hearing a sword unsheathe. You look up and the hood falls off your head.

“Your highness what are you doing up.” he lowered his sword. Holding out a hand for you to take.
