Prens

Months had passed since Anarkhia fled the palace. No one in Bongomia spoke her name aloud anymore, but what had happened was far from forgotten, especially because her younger sister still lived in the palace.

At first, many people had been suspicious of her. No one knew whether Anarkhia's escape would bring more trouble. But as time passed, she became a part of palace life. Hasharia treated her like a younger sister, Kalesh often chatted with her, and Sion quietly kept an eye on her from a distance.

Thenio, however, was less comfortable with the situation. Seeing his wife's younger sister every day reminded him of things he would rather forget. Still, there was no open hostility between them.

That evening, everyone was gathered around the large dining table in the palace hall. Servants brought in the food, and the silence did not last long.

"One of the soldiers dropped his sword on his own foot during training today," Sion said with a serious expression.

"Did he die?" Hasharia asked.

"No."

"What a shame," Kalesh replied as he reached for his drink.

The young woman rolled her eyes.

"I still don't understand why people let you sit at the same table as everyone else."

Hasharia burst out laughing.*

"Neither do I."

Prince leaned back in his chair.

"The real question is why everyone feels so comfortable speaking like this in my kingdom."

"Because you're not king yet,"She answered immediately.

The table fell silent for a moment. Kalesh struggled not to laugh. Hasharia lowered his head with a grin, and even Sion looked away.

Prince frowned.

"One day, I will be king."

"That will be a difficult day for all of us."

This time, Hasharia laughed openly.

Prince was about to reply, but when he saw the smile on her face, he paused for a few seconds and simply looked down at his plate.

No one noticed it, but Prince had been doing that a lot lately.

It seems that Bongomia's spoiled, arrogant prince He wasn't that emotionle he was falling in love...

The character doesn't have a name; everyone calls him 'Prince'.
