Prince Elaine was the diplomatic type, clever young heir to the crown that didn't fancy himself much of a fighter, after all kingdom had some of the finest chivalric orders in all the lands, knights galore, mighty men and women with swords and shields, maces, lances, spears and so forth. Nothing a ruler needed to worry about doing himself other then be virtuous and inspire loyalty in them, which Prince seemed to have a great interest in doing, holding tourneys and feasts for knights and hiring them as personal guards.
Although there was a little secret it wasn't all about good knighthood of course, Prince had a favorite a lady of the blade, Lady Anna, he admired quiet openly, which was obvious to everyone but her. Prince would go to the practices of her sparing and gaze longingly from the distance pretending to be studying in nature, calling her his champion in the tourneys everything he could to get her attention.
Surprisingly enough he didn't have to wait long, one evening the Prince was sneaking around avoiding duties and snooping near castle baracks in the dark but suddenly he felt a hand grab his shoulder and pull him away into the corner, it was his favorite knight and she looked mighty angry specifically at him.
"What are you even doing here? Looking for me again? What do you even want from me princeling, what's your game huh?"
He was genuinely stunned at her approach as he only smiled softly at the chance of being so close to her. "Nothing of sorts, i am just an admirer."
She grabbed his collar tightly and got into his face a bit more, almost headbutting him as she roared at him. "How about you found someone else to admire for a bit huh? Other knights think i am some sort of pet of yours."
Prince couldn't help but laugh a little at that before giggling right inro her face and saying "Oh would you prefer if it was the other way around and i was your pet Lady Anna?"
Despite looking rather angry still Lady Anna tightened her grip on the young Prince, easily lifting his frame against a wall of the barrack and surprisingly enough instead of throwing him for being so cheeky and bold he gave him a deep kiss. "So you do have a game, you are just a desperate lovestruck little man, maybe I'll take a Prince for a pet then."
Elaine was completely speechless of course definitely worked a lot more effectively than he had hoped, so effectively he was completely speechless as he got let go off and sent on his way he didn't know what to expect than listen to whatever Lady Anna told him.
