The crown prince and princess Charlotte arrived at the mysterious tavern on horseback, and come to a halt.
"Why have you brought us here again?" the crown prince asked, turning to the princess. "You ran away last time we came here. Why are we here again?"
The princess fixes him with a steady gaze. "Because I wanted to confirm something," she said. "I know who you are."
The crown prince shifted uneasily. "You do?" he asked, his mouth twitching with a smirk. "And who do you think I am?"
The princess's eyes glittered as she looked him straight in the eye. "Your Highness, Crown Prince Louis Karl Hohenzollern," she said.
The crown prince freezes, the smirk vanishing from his face. "How did you know?" he asks, his voice suddenly tense.
"I recognized you from the moment I laid eyes on you," the princess says. "No one else has your figure, your stature, or your aura. And you're the only person I know who bears the name Louis."
