Once I arrived at the castle, I was bombarded by both Elias and Prince Raymond. It had only been a couple of days since I was there, and they acted like I was gone for ages. The garden that we were standing in, was full of leaves that fell, due to the change of the season.
"Are we going to spar?" The foreign Prince spoke in a cheerful tone, as he clasped my hands, and brought his face close to mine. I drew back, confused and uneasy by the mood of the atmosphere. It was so rare for Elias to be around anyone, except me, but here he was with this bright and perky prince.
"I'm here to help Prince Elias with paperwork. I might if I have some time." Prince Raymond's face drooped slightly because he was upset. I looked around avoiding the sight, men always put ladies in weird positions. Elias noticed my uneasiness, and stepped forward, placing a hand on my shoulder.
