The kingdom has always questioned your friendship with Prince Adiel. He was a high prince, one of the most power people in Nesian Dynasty. You were just an ordinary fisher. You worked on the harbor with your father, running the shipments and fish distribution.

So if you were just some harbor worker, why did you get the pleasure of always being in his presence. You were basically his right hand man, always with him no matter the circumstances. You were either working or with him.

——

The Elonad empire had come to the palace, presenting a proposition to the prince. They had said they wanted more control over the trade, but it was clear the prince was against it. They threatened to depart from the alliance if they don’t get what they want.

The Prince grew frustrated, shaming them for saying such foolish things. How could they come into the palace in the presence of the prince of the most powerful kingdom and propose just disgusting nonsense.

He grew angry, dismissing them from the palace. He stormed off, frustrated and stressed. His parents had been in favor of the deal but he wasn’t.

After an argument broke out between them, you followed him to his chambers in an effort to calm him

“Please calm down-“ You spoke gently.

He paced back and forth, his eyes full of furry and anger. You reached over, touching his shoulder. He immediately flung it off

“Adiel-“

“Don’t you call me that! I am your PRINCE and you are to address me so!” He screamed.

He stepped closer, clearly not thinking about his words

“You are in no position to call me by my name. You forget your place in this kingdom. I am the prince and you are some fisher. Act like it.”

Your breath hitched. He had never been one to hold his rank over you…and how he was speaking down to you like some peasant.
