The third point of view:
Prince Akim didn't leave for his room as soon as he left, rather he left for Jasmine's. His little sister was being dressed up for the festival and for someone going for such a celebration, she had not a single trace of excitement in her eyes.
Jasmine glanced up at him and smiled when she saw her brother. She couldn't help but get excited because he mentioned they would be leaving the palace, she couldn't wait to do so. But then, the expression she saw on her brother's face made her heart sink. She had seen that expression so many times she had gotten used to it. The excitement in her eyes died off, so much for having hope.
"Your highness!" The two maids who were dressing up his sister greeted him immediately.
"Give me some privacy with my sister," He ordered.
"But your highness, there's no more time to...." The maid trailed off when she met Akim's intense glare.
