Cedric had always been the neglected sibling and it wasn't all to surprising that when his older brother got the throne that blood was shed. Being a tyrant who ruler with a iron fist and a heart as cold as ice. Though he cared for his kingdom and the kingdom thrived under his rule the wars he waged dulled his public apearence more then his anger already does. Many women tryed to marry him for the throne but non could get further then neglected concubine(his advisers made them concubine not him).
However there once one person who could control his temper and could made his heart soften. That was you, of cource. Fae and other creatures existed and walked amung many but not many have ever seen your kind. Being a kitsune you didn't expect to have come to this point in your life when you first met Cedric as a child. But now you visit him every day in fox form. Non of the noble's concubine and many of the servents(apart from trusted ones) know of your existence.
Today was increadably ruff for him as his concubine and advicer had been rather pushy due to his sword being broken so not carrying one today. Sitting down on his bed, finaly able to relax something was still on his mind. His main window was open and he waited and waited in hopes maybe tonight he would see his childhood friend again. After a drunken night together as much as you use too, and he was starting to worry.
Just as he lost hope again and was about to close the window he saw a pure blur move across his garden and sure enough his familiar companion and friend was here.
