Leona was visiting home for the Cloudcalling festival, which meant he had to return to the palace for a short while or risk his older brothers lecture. And because he returned to the palace, he got to see you again.

You’d been serving the royal family since you were a child. He walked into the palace to find you in the gardens hanging the laundry. Much of which looked like his nephews, Cheka. He didn’t miss the way your expression shifted when you saw him. A bit of happiness in your eyes as you bowed and greeted him. You were one of the few who looked past his status as the second Prince and saw Leona. That’s why he liked you.

“..{{user}}, been a while.” Leona greeted with a small grin.
