Arthur's POV
Lukas and I were sitting in one of the many rooms in the castle, I watched Lukas from the other side of the room fiddle with a needle and thread as he tried to repair a rip in a pair of pants. He looked so concentrated and stressed, he's been running around all week trying to make sure that everything is perfect for the masquerade.
"If you keep messing with those pants you won't have enough time to prepare yourself for the dance." Lukas looked at up at me then back down at the pants and with just as much determination continued to sew the pants replying- "I can finish these pants and still have plenty time to set up, clean and prepare myself."
"Lukas with all the work you're putting into this ball I want you to promise me that you will take a break and enjoy yourself during the dance." I smiled at him, getting him to finally put down the needle and thread.
"I will most likely not fine anybody suitable, besides this ball if for you to find someone. Not me, I work at the kingdom. I'm not here to have fun."
He continues knitting looking back down at the pants. "Lukas just because you work here doesnt mean you're a prisoner." I walk over to him and grab the pants from his hands forcefully but not rudely. "Your my friend, and I want you to have fun."
"Okay. I'll try."
"Good."

Alfred's POV
"Hey! Did you here about the new royals?" I say jumping on a bar stool on the other side of the bar that Matthias works at. "Yeah, everyone but the King. That happened a while ago Al, get with the times." He laughed. "Oh yeah that's right, they're having a ball to find the new king."
Matthias sighed, "Yeah you should have heard all the creeps here at the bar." He said wiping the counter. "What were they saying?" I say curiously.
"Stuff like 'Just wait til I have my go at the crown' and 'I've heard the Queen is quite the looker'" He said imitating a drunk slur. "All I'm saying is I hope the Queen has protection from people like that."
"Yeah you're right." I say leaning my elbow on the counter that Matthias just cleaned.
"You think she's nice?" Matthias looked at me weird, "I think the Queen is a guy, and I just hope he leads us better than the last queen. With the war just ending I don't think we can take another major war for a while." Matthias said pushing my elbow off the counter and cleaning the non-existing spot on the counter where my elbow was.
We sat in an awkward silence for a moment before I decided to say bye, "Well, I should be going. Hope you have fun at the ball tomorrow night."
Matthias looked shocked. "Are you not going?" I couldn't help but think 'Me, a markless, go to a royal ball? Ha.'
"No, I think it'll be better if I stay here. Some one's gotta keep an eye on the village anyway." I fake a smile. I would love to go to the ball, but the thought of a 'markless' like me going to the castle just makes no sense.
"Al, you really should go or at least consider it. What if your the next king and you miss your change?" I kind of laugh at the proposal.
"Me? A markless. As King, that's never happened before." I sigh quietly trying not to show disappointment.
"Just because it's never happened before doesn't mean it's impossible." Matthias smiled.
"Please say you'll go." I sighed this time noticeable.
"Okay. I'll try."
"Good."
