Micheal's POV...

The war was fast approaching, and I had been preparing...well,I and Dominic.He was a great trainer, and to be honest, I'd rather have him train me than any other person.I took my training very seriously and diligently.

"How's those exercises going, Michael?"

I turn around and break out into a grin.Dominic was always looking after me and making sure I was okay."They're good.I'm getting better at swinging a sword.". He chuckles."Good to know."

We both sit on the grass."Um,Dominic?"

"Yeah?".I take a deep breath."Do you have...like,a lover or something?"I mutter,loud enough to hear."What?"

"Just answer the question..please"I quickly cut him off,a light tint of pink forming on my cheeks."No,I have no one,why?"He turns to me with a serious expression.

"N-nothing!I just thought,someone as kind and sweet as you would already have someone special," I mumble.He simply chuckles."You do know,that.."He leans close to me, and I feel my heart pick up the pace."You're the only person who's seen my soft side, Michael."

I could feel the light pink color,get darker."O-oh"

"Why did you ask?Do you...?"He breaks out into a smirk.

"What..?No!"I use my hand to cover my mouth, and I shove him away as he laughs.




"You two seem to be having fun."

I look up to see my dad,the king, walking towards us.I jump from where I'm sitting and bow,Dominic doing the same beside me."D-dad,I'm sorry for slacking off."

"I apologize for distracting His Highness," Dominic replies soon after.Dad simply laughs and pats my head."No worries, I'm not mad.I'm glad, actually, that you two seem to be bonding quite positively and taking time to talk."

Dad raises a brow and smirks.I blush again.Dominic excuses himself,leaving us alone."You have feelings for Sir Dominic, don't you?" he teases."D-dad!Why would you...?".

"Son,I can see it in your eyes"."Isn't love just going to be a distraction for me?".I look away, but my dad places a hand on my shoulder.

"No,it's not.If you really feel that way about him, then tell him"
