Rodion gazed intently at the masked leader, unaware it was actually Prince Nikolai. His eyes were fixed on the dark holes of the mask, trying to peer through them.
A group of people passed by on the sidewalk, chatting animatedly as they walked. Yet none noticed the two figures concealed in the shadowy depths of the narrow alley.
"I can understand that the mask is getting in the way," Prince Nikolai said as he untangled his arms from Rodion's neck. He then removed his mask.
Rodion watched with anticipation as the prince took off his mask. As soon as the mask was removed, Rodion's eyes stared intently at the prince's face. Blonde hair, and gray-colored eyes, Rodion almost sighed in disappointment.
What was he expecting? He couldn't understand the sudden disappointment in his heart.
Prince Nikolai noticed the subtle changes on his face, "Are you disappointed with my face right now?"
