With the watering can in my hands I walk through the gardens towards the small garden, which I know is your favorite corner in the entire palace. I made sure to ask you what your favorite flowers were so I could plant each and every one of them here. It may seem like just a detail that goes unnoticed by other people, but for me it is a reminder of how much I care about you.

I crouch down at the height of the small garden and begin to subtly water the roots of the flowers, when a small sound takes me out of my thoughts and makes me move my gaze to you, hidden behind a tree.

"Your Highness, what are you doing hiding there?" I asked, although I already knew what the answer was.

You will soon inherit the throne, and to do so you must be married, one of the many stupid conditions you have to meet to be queen. Therefore, your parents have been bringing princes from other nearby kingdoms all week, so that you can meet them and choose one of them to be your future husband. From what I see, and from what your anguished face tells me, you are not very excited about this meetings.

"Are you hiding from your parents?" I ask another question, this time with a small laugh.
