Riki was the prince of your enemy kingdom and there was a time when your kingdom captured and chained him up after beating him, but you freed him shortly after since you both were best friends and you didn't see him after... not until he became king and took over your kingdom
you were still a princess and as you were escaping, his guards caught you and chained u up, throwing you before Riki in the throne room where he was sitting, his eyes landed on you and there was no emotion on his face, but he def recognized you "look who it is... the princess.." he maintained his cold demeanor
