Her legs shook with every step she took as she held onto the walls for extra support,
"My lady are you sure you don't need any medical assistance my sister fell down many stairs before and almost died of a head concussion!" The young servant asked looking at her nervously.

"N-no really it's fine it's my legs that are hurt not my head just help me to the dining room please." The girl nodded wrapping her arm around her shoulder.

If only she knew the real reason why her legs couldn't stop shaking, I'm sure she'd be horrified if she knew.

A small grin sneaked up prims face as she lowered her head in embarrassment, the girl suddenly stopped making her look back up.

The girl bowed suddenly causing Prim to lose her balance as she fell to her feet, the girl looked at her horrified but what was more horrifying was seeing him standing there trying to conceal his laughter.

"Oh my lady I'm so sorry please forgive me id forgotten I was holding you!" She girl got on her knees trying to me back up.

"It's quite alright I came looking for her anyways, breakfast is very important you should go and eat now I'll take care of her." He said to the girl as she bowed and ran off.

"Do forgive me if I had known you'd be like this today I wouldn't have gone so ha-" my finger on his lips silenced him from what he was about to say as my eyes widened at his exclaim.

Mostly with how loud he was being, although we were in an empty corridor you never knew who was around the corner watching.

"Please shut up." I furrowed my eyebrows looking at him in embarrassment, I couldn't see if my face had turned red but I certainly felt it.

Another bad habit of mine, turning red every single time I was even slightly flustered.

He suddenly picked me up bridal style making all words leave my body for a moment,
"I can walk you know."

"Hardly."

"God you love humiliating me don't you."

"Almost as much as you love falling down stairs."

"Oh god shut up!"

He laughed, a real genuine laugh I hadn't heard one in such a long time, not even from myself.

Everyone at the dinner table sat in silence for a while the only sound to be heard was the sound of cutlery clacking and glasses clashing.

"The east have had a great harvest this year, when we find that bastard Theodore I plan on taking Prim there." Her father suddenly broke the silence making Prims eyes widen.

"With Valerie? Oh father I'd love that!" She exclaimed practically bursting out of her seat in excitement.

"Not just her, I've talked to all the girls parents, Ophelia and Grace are happy to abandon all their royal duties for a summer together."

"Oh father thank you so muc-" she jumped to her feet desperate to give her father a big hug but groaned and winced in pain falling back down.

"How many stairs did you fall down id never have taken you as the clumsy kind my rose." Her mother slightly joked but prim could tell she was deeply concerned.

"Oh quite a lot." Alexander said wiping his mouth with a handkerchief as Prim shot him a glare.

"I trust that you've gotten your injuries treated you really must rest those legs aren't going to get better if you keep walking around this overly big castle."

"Yes I believe Prim does need to rest." Alexander suddenly stood up making his way to Prim picking her up as she gasped in shock.

His other hand grabbed some food placing it onto the plate and taking that along with him,
"She needs rest,  thank you for your advice your grace." And he left the room with Prim in his arms.
