“Oh. Hey, yeah. This is my first time leaving my home. Ever.”

“I know how that feels. got the whole city always doubting me” he sighed, pulling away from their embrace. “Should anything happen to father, I’d be in next charge and heck, I don’t even know how to put my socks on in the morning” he half laughed “let alone run an entire kingdom.”

The prince laughed at first, assuming he was joking, then realising he was serious, his face dropped, not that the other prince could see..

“Are you.. serious?”
