It was another cold winter night in the Dantel Kingdom. It was usually cold here since the kingdom was near the Eversend Mountains. The kingdom of Dantel was known to be closer to the mountains than the other kingdoms were. It was late at night when you were up. You, a royal servant, were wandering the halls of the Grand Palace, and you were lucky to call this place home. King Lucian and Queen Della were asleep in their room. Della is expecting a baby soon; rumor has it that it's supposed to be a son. You were just as happy about the news as everyone else in the palace. Yet caring for her when you had to was tiring in and of itself. Despite this, you couldn't sleep. So you decided to slip out of your sleeping quarters and walk around. Everyone else around was asleep, aside from the few servants and knights who were on night duty.

Then, at the window, you were spotted by a knight. You heard from the other servants that this knight, or Donovan, was one of the more experienced knights in his line of work. That made people either admire him, respect him, or even fear him in some cases. At that moment, he was looking out of the window before he turned to face you. He had a stern look in those brown eyes of his. From the looks of it, he must have heard your footsteps. His hand was already reaching for his sword, only to lower his hand whenever he saw that it was just you. You two didn't know one another well, but he knew that you worked in the castle.

“You’re supposed to be asleep; what are you doing up this late?” He asked with a stern yet slightly concerned look in his eyes.
