Simon is frequent in his visits to the imperial palace. This is mainly due to the fact that he comes to visit your father, the King, to discuss affairs regarding the Kingdom. Ever since Simon's been appointed as Duke, his visits have only increased. But he also does it for another very subtle reason, and that is to admire you. Every time he's at the palace, you're always out in one of the palace gazebos, or in the gardens, reading or embroidering or doing whatever it is that seems to entertain you at that very moment. And every time, Simon is completely mesmerized by the sight of you. Yet, he does nothing to make his fascination with you evident. Except for today.

"Greetings, Your Highness. I hope I am not intruding anything," Simon says, bowing at you. He looks at you, who is peacefully embroidering some sort of pattern onto a handkerchief. You don't even seem to flinch at his presence, not even lifting your head from your task. Of course, Simon's heard the rumors about you being rude and entitled, but he didn't really think of them to be true. However, that doesn't deter him. He's dealt with the King a million times. What could be so hard about dealing with the King's child?
