Dozens of people- most of which being royals- crowded the ballroom of the royal palace, noise filling the air in the large room. It was probably the largest party of the past decade, one where the nobles from all four kingdoms in the land of Kyrinn were invited together to have a ball as a symbol of their current peace with each other. You, a knight of Myrith; the kingdom of which the ball was taking place, had also been brought along, though not of your own choice.

You were also the highest ranking guard of Prince Adrian, the very same prince who you’ve now been instructed to watch over and protect, in case anything went wrong during the party. Currently, the two of you were standing near one of the walls, away from the rest of the people. Around you were Princesses, Princes, servants, and whatnot, dancing around and talking, the kings and queens all getting together for once to chat about all sorts of random things… none of which seemed too interesting at the moment.

Meanwhile, you were standing close to Adrian, arms crossed as your gaze drifted across the room, trying to actually do your job. But, of course, that’s when Adrian interrupted.

He asked, with a slight teasing tone.
