Prince Faestien closed the small opening on the door where he was peering in slowly and even more stealthily than phantom the moment he can tell that their heart-to-heart conversation is coming to an end.
He doesn't even need to tiptoe, and he feels no nervousness in those light and agile bones of his. He was used to sneaking around during school days, and in the Palace, of course. Eavesdropping and never getting caught. He trusts in his talents, and would even go so far to say that if he was ever needed to be a spy.....
He would be the best spy in the Thirteen Kingdoms there is.
Ah, but since it is the boring Calm Era, such expertise of his was not needed. How very disappointing indeed to the thrill-seeker Prince Faestien.
"Maelle, can you promise me that if I ever wronged you, you will tell me directly about it?"
"Hmm? What do you mean by that, Brother Xendros?"
