The night lasted long, a good kind of long, the kind of long no one would want to end. The prince also wouldn't want this to end as he was finally able to sleep, an insomniac finally being able to sleep, something he never expected to feel.
The past months were tough on him, the large amount of pressure this prince endured to live up to his family's name and the amount of punishments he's received by his own father; He felt at peace now.
His cold nature wasn't there since he was born, he used to be a warm and kind, his younger sister still remembering the lessons he's taught her, to stay kind to those you intend to keep close, which the prince still went by, though many assumed he didn't.
He intended to keep Iseul close, hence his recent acts of kindness, though not shown to public.
In the morning, Iseul was first to wake up, feeling the warmth of an arm around him, shielding him from the cold morning temperatures in the prince's room.
