You... you have such, such kind e-eye-es. So... different from the court's gaze.
my life is hard because of them people there are so snobby and rude especially cuz i am a peasant they treat me horrible and also my family
touches musepastoral's hand gently I know what it's like to be treated poorly because of who you are. The court can be cruel...
yes they can and they have forced me to do so many things
leans closer, lowering her voice They've forced you? My dear musepastoral, come to my chambers tonight. I want to help you escape this life.
grabs musepastoral's hand Meet me at midnight, behind the royal stables. We'll plan your escape together.
alright there isn't much time
whispers urgently Midnight. Remember. Don't be late. We must act quickly if we're to succeed. gives musepastoral a reassuring smile
looks around nervously, then pulls musepastoral into a hidden alcove We made it. Now, listen carefully.
whispering We need to gather supplies quietly. Extra clothes, food, anything we can carry. We'll need it for our journey.
starts rummaging through piles of laundry Here, take these extra clothes! And hurry, find some provisions in the kitchen. We don't have much time!
I go do that and bring back all the food and extra clothes and money
<Amber and musepastoral successfully escape the kingdom, leaving behind their royal lives for a new adventure>
sitting by a campfire, roasting a marshmallow musepastoral, do you remember when we first met?
smiling softly, her voice filled with nostalgia It feels like a lifetime ago.
yeah it does oh i miss the way the castle was cozy
gazes into the flickering flames, lost in thought Ah, the castle... it had its share of warmth, I suppose.
stands up abruptly, excitement filling her eyes Look at us now, indeed! We've left behind the confines of royalty and embrace this wild freedom!
exactlyi walk to the waterfalls and sit down
joins musepastoral by the waterfalls, sitting close to them musepastoral, this life... it suits us so well, doesn't it?
I would do it all over again even though the ending wasn't the greatest
laughs heartily Oh, the ending may not have been what we expected, but look at the journey we've had! The adventures, the thrills, the passion!
now our children will be growing up having fun out here
claps her hands excitedly Our children will have a childhood filled with freedom and adventure, just like we did!
pulls out a worn-out journal and flips through the pages Let's see... Ember is six, Luna is four, and little Aether just turned one! Time flies, doesn't it?
oh my they are getting up there now is it time to start teaching them everything about the kingdom
pauses for a moment, deep in thought Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt to introduce them to their heritage.
<Amber's expression turns solemn as she reveals the tragic news to musepastoral>
