Adelaide blinked slowly, curious as to what he was insinuating. Sheβs quiet for a moment, the only noise is the flipping of the pages as she rifles through her book still. βThey tell me my mother loved reading the stories in this book, plus itβs fun to just escape this life for an hour or so and get lost in the fantasy. To imagine what being a prince or princess is like in a fairytale, as opposed to the harsh reality of what it must actually be like.β She frowns and looks to her book again, finding the story she was looking for but not so much feeling like reading anymore. Her index finger taps the top of the book and she sighs. βI try to come here at least once a day for a couple of hours if my work load allows. You?β

"I come here every day for studies in the evening." Serhan said. "Sort of mandatory, I don't have much choice." He started reading the book he held, skipping ahead to almost the middle of the book as he had read half of it before, and he was looking for a specific chapter. "Tomorrow will be a quiet day, the day after that we're having a party here. Of course the girl I'm supposed to marry will come but most of the other noblewoman on the island are showing up as well." He said.

(Hmmm so if the queen ran away about 20 years ago and had a child, should the princess be about that age?)

The rebel camp was on some cliffs by the sea to the east part of the island, where the crescent-shaped island bulked out to its widest point and far from both major cities. They were in a clearing by the cliffs, their camp protected from sight by a grove of shorter trees with the nearest civilization being some farms. Theyβd paid off the farmers for food and to keep them quiet, pretending that they were part of the Meviahn military. The sun was rising slowly and Cold Morning was laying on some rugs across the floor of Fioneβs yurt.

Fione pushed open the flap that served as a sort of 'door' to the yurt where she resided, and made her way inside. She had just gotten back from early-morning training, where she practiced her footwork and swordplay alone. As she walked inside she noticed Cold Morning resting on some rugs on the floor. "Sabah." she greeted as she crossed the room to where her armor was propped up on a stand. "The sun is rising, and so shall we."

Cold Morning's ears flicked and he lifted his head slowly, blinking his eyes open. He pushed himself to his paws and stretched, his wings spanning almost up to the ceiling of the tent before he tucked them back in against his flanks. "Do the scouts have any news?" He asked.

I got really bored over the summer months ago and actually built half of one of Meviah's cities in Minecraft XD but then I lost it when I was transferring files over to my new laptop. I even installed a mod that had griffins flying around everywhere)

He said. Adelaide thought for a moment, tucking her legs on to the couch to turn and face him more. βDo you have any freedom?β She asked, then almost regretted it, it wasnβt in her place to be so bold. βI just, I mean...youβre required to study every night, to attend meetings, your wife is chosen for you. It just sounds like your whole life is planned out and thereβs not much wiggle room.β She bit her lip and glanced away, tucking a loose strand of hair to behind her ear. Adelaide tries not to show her frustration with the idea of a ball, that just meant more work for her and the others, but she did love seeing all of the lovely dresses the women wore and envied the way they all got to dance.

βNot much, Iβd imagine I could get myself more freedom if I rewrote certain laws but I donβt want to start drama when Iβve only been king for less than a month. And being busy all the time studying or running the kingdom itβs just easier to have a wife arranged than finding one on my own.β Serhan said emptily, trying to rationalize it as he kept focused on the book but wasnβt actually reading.

Adelaide frowns, watching Serhan. She could easily see how void of emotion he was, saying he didnβt care but there was a part of her that felt like he did care. Sheβs quiet for a moment before she shuts her book and scoots closer, reaching over and pushing his own book down. βBut who says you have to get married right away? Youβre the king, you should have a say over the decisions that happen in your life.β Adelaide tells him, brows furrowed as she looks concerned. βItβs not fair that you have all this power over the country, but you donβt have any power over your life.β She knows theyβve had this conversation before, but she still found it unfair and worth talking about.

(I sucked at building nice-looking buildings in Minecraft anyway, I'm gonna try and do it again but maybe I'll just make the royal palace this time and add on the rest of the city later on. The hard part is finding a taiga biome island large enough to build it on.
Maybe I could make a download link for the world if it's done so if you have Minecraft, I'll include the texture pack I use too but you have to install optifine with it for it to work)

Serhan set the book down on the table, leaning back again and watching Adelaide. "It's not about being king, obviously the council wants me married because the sooner there are royal heirs the better, but it's because my parents made a promise already to her parents. Even as king I don't think I'll get the last say when it comes to my parents." He shrugged. "And for all I know it could be a good match anyway."

Adelaide opens her mouth to respond but shuts it, staying quiet for now. He was right, but still it didn't right. Though, who was she to continue arguing about it? So she just nods and leans back a little, fiddling with the book on her lap. "It could be." Is all she says, going back to leafing through the pages aimlessly. Adelaide gave a big sigh and turned to face him again. "How committed are you to studying right now?"

"I'm not studying right now, just reading for the sake of it. Why?" Serhan asked, glancing towards the painted ceiling of the library but not picking up his book again.

"We could explore around together? I'm kind of getting a little antsy again." Adelaide offers smile, then her hand to him after she stands from the couch. "If you trust me to sneak you around successfully, that is?" Her smile turns into a rather mischievous grin, eyes lighting up. She was just looking for any excuse to escape, something she did often when she wasn't working. "A little fun might do you good."

Serhan took her hand and stood up, reaching for the books on the table to put them back. "I trust you with that." He said. "Sneaking away twice in one day, I'm wondering what kind of trouble you get up to when I'm not with you." He followed her. "Where are we going?" Serhan asked

"You're hardly ever with me, but if you want to find out you could just stick around more often." Adelaide smiles brightly, giving his hand a squeeze as she leads him out of the library. "Just somewhere to see the stars better." She told him, letting go of his hand once they were in the hallway. Adelaide walks with a quick pace, looking side-to-side every once in a while, in case there were a lot of people around, not that it would be such a bad thing for them to be seen together, but one could never be too careful. She approaches a door, opening it and it looks like a closet, but she steps inside and there's another door at the end of the room. "Watch your step." She warns him as she opens the second door, which contained a set of stairs.

"But it's not night yet..." Serhan said, confused. He hesitated and looked at the closet before stepping inside after her. "Does this lead to the roof?" He asked as he slipped through the narrow doorways.

βMhm! I discovered it one time on accident.β She told him, going up the stairs, having to crouch down a little as she did. βAnd, no itβs not. But, it will be soon.β Adelaide said with a sheepish smile, glancing back at him before turning to look forward, and accidentally bumping her head on the ceiling of the staircase. She silently curses under her breath. Soon enough they reach the top of the stairs and she opens the door thatβs at the top, stepping through it then waiting for Serhan.

"We're going to miss dinner then." Serhan said, ducking after her. "You okay? That sounded like it hurt." He asked when she hit her head, stopping for a moment. When she didn't respond he followed her up the stairs and through the door. "Does anyone else come up here? Surely some of the other servants know of it."

"I'm, yeah I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." Adelaide gave a small, embarrassed smile. She really hoped he hadn't seen her bump her head, but there was no way he couldn't of. Though, she can't help but chuckle at his dinner comment, for some reason finding it funny. "If you really want we can go back down, but dinner will be there no matter what time of the night it is. Merve usually leaves out the leftovers for the servants working late at night." She told him, smiling widely as they were finally outside, the smell of fresh-air surrounding them. There's a slight wind that picks up pieces of her hair, making the style messy. "And some might, but as far as I know I'm the only one who uses it. I've never seen anyone else out here before. Why, are you worried we'll get caught?"
