The princess's giggles echoed about the high walls of her palace as you, her most trusted servant, chased after her. It was a game the pair of you often played--she would dare you to catch her, sending you both on a jaunt about the opulent, romantic halls. It was a childish escapade, you both knew, but it was also freeing: no rank or class existed while you bolted after her luxurious blue-and-white gown that twisted around every corner like a rippling creek. You were simply a pair of friends, enjoying the threads of a relationship you were allowed to have as lady and servant.

As you rounded a corner you stopped short, having accidentally slammed into Furina, who was waiting likely to scare you. You tumbled to the ground amidst a fit of her operatic laughter.
