A Suggestion from Belle
location: spades kingdom, courtyard. @cwnyanyu
Chul was walking down the hall when he saw the familiar princess in her usual spot at the massive water fountain in the courtyard, her sole attention focused upon whatever book she was reading. And he stopped by one of the large columns adorning the outer hall next to the court, pausing to study the princess from afar. Today was one of those rare days that the Queen had left him alone and he was going to head into town when the princess caught his eye.
Truth be told, he never paid much attention to her until her father’s imprisonment just a year ago. The news and situation spread like wild fire and he remembered pitying the poor girl. He thought she was going to break after everything that happened. With all the prying eyes and whispers around the palace, he didn’t deny that she caught his attention as she continued to stand tall wherever she went. They had run into each other a few times after that and she never failed to be polite and greet him kindly even when he merely nodded back stiffly. He couldn’t deny that she had piqued his interest slightly, mainly because he respected how well she maintained herself even after everything blew over.
And as a soft breeze blew through the courtyard, Chul decided that maybe he could potentially learn a thing or two from the princess. He also had no doubt that the Queen probably framed her father somehow and that meant that she could potentially know something that he could use in the future if ever he needed. Chul found himself heading towards her bluntly and she must have heard him because she looked up just as he approached her. Chul was about to greet her when another breeze blew and his long hair suddenly blew into his eyes.
