I raised an eyebrow, a wry smile spreading across my face. "Why am I not surprised?" I said, crossing my arms and rolling my eyes at the Crown Prince. "You tied Eros to a chair and escaped. I'm shocked. Simply shocked."
He shook his head, trying to hide his amusement. "I only did it because he was annoying me," the Crown Prince said, his eyes sparkling with mischief.
I chuckled despite myself. "And why didn't you just untie yourself? You're the Tower Master, after all. You have the power to do whatever you want."
The Crown Prince grinned shamelessly. "If he did that. Where's the fun in that?" he said, his voice low and teasing. I sighed, trying to maintain my stern expression, but it was no use. The Crown Prince's antics had won me over, and I couldn't help but laugh at his mischievous ways.
