3rd POV

Craig hesitated for a moment, torn between resistance and the reality of the task ahead.

Craig: "Fine, fine, I'm getting off."

He climbed off the horse, his feet hitting the ground with a soft thud.

Standing there in the forest, he looked up at Kamilla, her disapproving glance still evident. The thought of facing his mother alone in the castle sent a chill down his spine, but he steeled himself.

Craig: "Okay, I'm off. Now what?"

Kamilla: "Confront your mother? Go to your castle? I just told you dumbass! Now go!"

Craig: "Well, okay if you answer my question!"

Kamilla: "As long as it makes you go away."

Craig: "Why don't you wanna go out of the forest?"

Kamilla hesitated for a moment, her serious expression not wavering. She seemed to be choosing her words carefully.

Kamilla: "I just feel safe here in the forest..Now go! You got your answer now!"

Something in her voice caught Craig's attention. Not just the answer itself but the way she said it.

Craig: "Is that really the only reason? There's got to be more to it."

Kamilla: "Nope, that's all!"

Kamilla then made the horse walk backward to get away from the situation until..

Craig: "Halt."

The horse then stopped walking backwards, Kamilla was confused

Kamilla: "How did you -"

Craig: "Tweek taught me words of how to make an animal stop moving."

Kamilla: "What..."

Craig: "To make it stop moving when he's putting on bandages on them... know he's a nurse, right?"

Kamilla: "shit.."

Craig's sudden command caught both Kamilla and her horse off guard, the animal coming to an abrupt stop at Craig's word. Kamilla's confusion quickly turned into surprise, her eyes widening.

Craig smirked at her reaction, finding pleasure in her momentary surprise.

Craig: "Turns out Tweek knows a thing or two about animals, and he taught me some useful words. Who would have thought, huh?"

Kamilla: "But...how? I thought...what?"

Kamilla said confusingly. She never thought a prince would actually pay attention to an archer. She thought that all royalty would act like they don't care about no one but for craig...

he paid attention to tweek and what he said...he actually listened to what royalty would call a "peasant."

Kamilla was in shock a prince that doesn't act like any other prince or royalty? How is that possible? They're supposed to act mean, selfish, and crude... right?

Craig: "I know, right? Who would've thought a nurse would have the secret to taming horses? Turns out, Tweek has a way with them. He can get them to stay still, even in the most chaotic situations. And he taught me some of his tricks."

Kamilla was still in shock and confused as her horse huffed.

Craig: "Lie down."

Craig said as the horse then lies down, and Kamilla goes down with her horse. Now, she is still on her horse as her horse is down.
