rekindling the cheshire’s smile

Lucas had to grow up at some point though. Playing with air marbles and wasting time being unhappy was a thing of the past. It was almost like the young man’s teenage years were robbed. He had grown from a happy, carefree, and fun teenager...into a sullen, concentrated prince. As the surviving eldest, he had to make sure that his brother grew up well, his parents weren’t struggling and his nation was doing okay. Of course, Tempestade was partially in ruins, but Lucas had to do what he could. And when he heard of a festival in Duur, he recalled the girl with the bright smile, who made him believe...that maybe parties weren’t so dull.
He headed to Duur, as a Tempestade royal, for the festival. When he arrived, he saw that he had made a decent decision. Everyone seemed to be at peace with each other. He made his way to the castle, his heart heavy. Would she even recognize him? He took a deep breath and made his way inside. He was wearing Tempestade colors, but he recalled in his head that she never liked his older flirtacious sullen brothers and yet, here he was, exactly the same. Like that had changed.
He could hear himself being announced, but his gaze was on her. She looked positively radiant and Lucas had no idea whether it was her or him or something else. He made his way over to her with a smirk. “Your highness, Princess Sojin~ how do you do~?” he asked, feigning ignorant innocence.
