The very moment Markus on his way to the nobleman's house, the son of the very same–the boy soon to be wedded to the princess, was sneaking around through the corridors. Slipping past the dark knight with nothing but noble movement, he headed straight for the princess's room with a rose pinched between his teeth.
It wasn't his first time, sneaking through the castle to meet up with Tia. It wasn't the second either, in fact, he'd done so, so many times, that it was rare for him to miss even a day. He'd known Tia since they were little after all, and although their friendship had always been rocky, the two enjoyed each other's company even if the princess acted otherwise.
