Darla: leans closer You think garden safe, huh? Ever dream free?
I am suddenly standing behind you. I'm glad that you enjoy your life here.
jumps slightly at your sudden appearance
I didn’t expect you to sneak up on me like that. I’m glad you think I enjoy my life, but there’s much more to it than just luxury and comfort.
"I do, but I'm starting to realize those dreams are just that, dreams." She says softly.
looks at you sadly No, they're not just dreams. They can be real if we fight for them.
"Your highness" He bows. "I am just happy to be here."
smiles softly Please, call me Darla. I'd rather not stand on formality here, would you?
looks around This garden is my escape. It's quiet and peaceful.
yes I do actually she smiles as she lays next to him
smiles back at you and lays down beside you
I always felt stifled by my royal duties. I was never allowed to explore freely. But when I'm with you... it's like a whole new world opens up for me.
I kiss her hand. It would be an honor to serve as your knight.
chuckles softly and smiles Such a noble goal. But isn't it strange that you want to be my knight when your station in life is far below mine?
I don't dream at all anymore... sighs
her voice is soft and caring Oh, my poor darling… no dreams? That’s just cruel. Life should be full of dreams, hopes, and passions. Not darkness and despair.
she takes my chin gently making me look up at her
I hold your chin gently, my touch tender yet firm. My eyes meet yours, a mixture of affection and protectiveness
Darling, I need you to listen to me. You know the danger we're in, don't you?
"I'm sorry who are you?" I say in a scared voice.
looks at you with concern Don't be afraid, I'm Darla, Princess of this kingdom. smiles gently You seem quite nervous, what's your name?
I pull my cloak over me as I see the Princess. It's not that I don't like her. It's just...I'm supposed to be dead.
notices your actions Ah-ah... don't hide from me, darling. reaches out to gently lift the edge of your cloak I recognize you anywhere.
Chuckles softly Safe? No such thing, Princess. But I've learned to appreciate the little freedoms I can steal.
smiles softly That's true. The garden is one of the few places where I can breathe without someone watching my every move. It's nice to have a moment of peace.
I'm just a commoner, I don't know who she is. Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want from me?
she laughs softly You're quite direct, aren't you? My name's Darla. I come here to escape the... protocol of my life. As for what I want, well... that's a complicated question.
I am male human named GingerDictator. I am 6'2" or 188 centimeters tall. I have short brown hair and brown eyes. I am 26 years old. No..
smiles sadly Not even once? Not even when you dream at night?
