"Mwahahahaha!"
A cackle came out of Cedric while hiding behind the door. Up ahead was Princess Amber herself looking all disgruntled and annoyed with an angry expression on her face
"James, stop it already!" the blonde princess whimpered, with her hands resting on her waist. With a final scan around the surroundings to see the culprit, she finally decided to close the door
Cedric couldn't help but let out a continuous series of laughter seeing this. What better way to spend the mid afternoon than to pull pranks on people in the castle. Ding-Dong-Ditching, a notorious tradition that he used to do back in Hexley Hall with the other Sorcerers there. He was the youngest one out of em all, so he could get away with it quite a lot too.
It was such a fun thing to do as an early teen, but quite troublesome and rambunctious. Even Greylock himself had some problems with it when he used to pull it against him back in the day. That man was ten years older than him, clearly he wouldn't understand his fun.
He was just a kid when he did this, but he is a adult now.
A grown man pulling pranks on little kids in the castle – this says a lot about Cedric's immaturity.
Seeing as though it was already getting late, Cedric pondered he might as well head back and settle down. He already had enough fun in one day...
But as he passed by a certain door, that thought was immediately erased from existence.
"Of course, the perfect princess herself" Cedric muttered to himself while rubbing his hands together like a wasp "Let's see what expressions you would make"
He checked the surroundings first, making sure there was no one nearby to see what he was about to do. And when everything was finally clear, it time to start the prank
He let out a sly chuckle before making his way to her door with the cute purple frames and floral decorations. In just one glance, he could tell this was definitely her room
All he had to do was knock... then run as fast as he can. Actually, he didn't need to run – all he had to do was hide somewhere he won't be seen. That definitely sounds like a walk-in-the-park for Cedric

He hesitated at first, hoping nothing bad would happen this time. For some reason, pranking Sofia always leads to some stupid blunder that always ends up backfiring on him in the end.
But this time, there is no margin of error for what he's about to do. All he has to do is knock, then get the heck out of the way
As the thoughts of these motivated him, the Sorcerer finally set his hands in motion and gave a swift knock to her door, making quite a loud noise in the process
Cedric was about to ditch, when suddenly... a creaking noise was heard. Surprised, Cedric was petrified by this and slowly turned to the door's direction revealing the princess herself wearing her usual casual pajamas
"It's way too soon for her to open!"
Her eyes lit up "Why hello Mr. Ceedric!" she greeted in quite a cheerful tone "What brings you here?"
He had to think fast, or else he would be in a sticky situation for sure "I uh... wanted to say hi and visit you and all.. he-he"
The madman managed pulled a fast one.
Sofia smiled "That's wonderful, thank you very much" she stepped aside revealing more of the entrance to her room "Come in, let's have a chat and all"
"No no no!" Cedric waved his hands back and forth "I uh... have some potions to brew back at the workshop... and Wormwood needs his grapes for supper"
