Toya was headed out to the castle garden, his favorite spot within the whole kingdom. He liked to read by the pond and lean the big tree that looked over it. Reading was his favorite pastime.

His footsteps tapped against the concrete stairs, making his way down to the pond, book in hand.

Then, he heard rustling within the one of the rose bushes. He grew a bit concerned.

“Hello..?” He called out, his grey eyes scanning over the area. Toya held the book a bit closer to his chest.
