Waking up on the bed that feels like a cloud is the most luxurious thing I have experienced in life yet.
Yawning I stretch my limbs and cuddle in closer to the cosy pillows and comforter. I squeeze in a mini nap before deciding it's time to rise and shine. Going about my daily morning routine of getting ready I choose a casual outfit consisting of brown flare trousers, a plain white crop top and a cream and brown flannel to protect me from the chilly castle corridors.

I finish my look by neatly pulling my hair out my face and clipping it back.
I hesitate walking out of my room not sure what my plans are plus the added risk of overstepping my boundaries.
Deciding I want the company I knock on Dom's door and wait a few moments before he opens up. I'm met with a freshly rolled out of bed brother who glares at my presence.
"What do you want at this time?" He asks moody
"This time? I haven't even checked-" I talk as I pull my phone out of my back pocket and read the time on my lock screen "7:26am?" I gape
"Hmh" Dom groans
"Just wanted to go on a wander, wanna join?" I ask
"Don't ever wake me at this time again" Dom yawns and then shuts the door in my face.
"You can just say no" I say through the door. I wait for a response but nothing comes, clearly he's already unconscious.
Shrugging I brush off the nervous feeling I have about exploring the castle solo but I can't be cooped up in my room with nothing to do for the next few hours. I go wherever my feet take me, when met with two paths I just flip a mental coin in my head before continuing my journey. I finally walk into a corridor that seems to have a lot more people filling the space. I stand silently and watch each person, I admire as each of them have a purpose, they all have a look of determination to take care of their task at hand. I look to the wall where two guards stand side by side staring intently at me. Without taking his eyes off of me one whispers into the others ear making the second guard slowly nod.
Feeling uncomfortable I walk down another corridor to get away from them. Walking past people I only manage to pick up parts of conversations making me long to hear the rest
"Prince Killian is..."
"I wonder what the king and Queen think..."
"Human can you imagine the..."
The last passerby makes me turn 180 as I stand and try head where that topic was leading. But something else catches my eye. The guards from before have followed me...
