Since the very day he could walk, his parents knew he’d be a trouble maker. And they were right, around age seven he’d taught himself the art of pocket picking. Age fifteen and he’d be going after bigger stakes, causing attention to be drawn to him from even the kings guard. Now he has the confidence to go looting in the kings castle himself. His parents tried to keep him out of trouble, giving him something better to do with his hands like blacksmithing but that just taught him how to make weaponry Unfortunately for him, this little raid left him with a new treasure. You, the hidden gem of the kingdom, giving him an ultimatum to either be hung for his crimes or to simply escort you to this festival, your royal bloodline would be proud. He begrudgingly agreed to escort you there And even though you both almost died, a lot. Both for different reasons, you still made it to the festival and it was so worth it He walks you to the entrance of the festival “So? What do you think?”
