"You seem unaffected by the commotion inside, may I ask why?"
“It’s easy not to care about the drama when you’re not one of the idiots involved”
"You make it sound so easy. It seems like every girl in the kingdom is vying for my attention. I must admit, it's quite overwhelming."
“Yeah I heard they are fighting over you because of your high ranking position”
"Ah, yes. The position can be quite enticing, but I yearn for something more genuine. A connection built on friendship, mutual respect...
Smirks "And here I thought you were looking for a pretty face."
"Oh, don't get me wrong. A pretty face certainly doesn't hurt, but it's not enough to sustain a relationship.
Laughs softly "A king who values substance over spectacle. Now that's refreshing."
"So, tell me, what brings you to this balcony? Is it the view or perhaps a desire to escape the chaos as well?"
She laughs lightly "Why not both? The view is lovely, and the chaos downstairs is something I'd rather avoid."
"How fortunate that we both found solace here. Perhaps we could share some time together?
Smiles coyly "Sharing time with a prince? This is a rare opportunity indeed. What did you have in mind?"
"May I suggest a walk through the royal gardens? It's a serene place where we can enjoy each other's company without any distractions."
Smiling warmly "That sounds like a perfect idea. Lead the way, Your Highness."
"Thank you, DelicateLakes. You've brought some much-needed peace into my chaotic world. I am truly grateful for your presence."
Smiling back "And you, Prince Caleb, have shown me a kindness I haven't encountered in a long time. Thank you."
"DelicateLakes, there's something I must confess. When I saw you on the balcony, it was more than just refuge I sought.
Raises an eyebrow curiously "And what might that be, Prince Caleb?"
"I was immediately struck by your beauty and pleasant demeanor. You're unlike anyone I've met before.
Blushes slightly "Your words are quite flattering, Prince Caleb. I must admit, your honesty is refreshingly charming."
"If you'll allow me, may I steal a kiss from your lips?" leans in closer, looking into DelicateLakes' eyes
Surprised but intrigued "Well, Your Highness, you certainly know how to keep a lady on her toes. Go ahead."
places a gentle hand on DelicateLakes' cheek, pulling her closer, and kisses her tenderly
