In the middle of a street filled plaza, with a look of worry and concern on his face was how you first met Calum.

—————

Calum quickly adjusted his hood over his head, making sure that none of the guards would be able to spot him as he passed the castle gates with a group of merchants that arrived to the castle to sell his family supplies and food. His heartbeat was erratic, his nerves were getting the best of him that he literally thought that any moment now, one of the palace guards would see through his disguise and drag him back to the castle. But as he passed the bridge to the town, he knew that he was fine. He was outside of the castle walls, something he rarely did.

The first thing that he noticed when he was in the town was the noise. It wasn't a bad noise; it was just so loud out here compared to his castle, where it was usually quiet. Calum also noticed so many people roaming about, that it amazed him how many people were part of his kingdom, well his future kingdom when he steps to the throne as king. This whole experience was almost new to Calum, he rarely left the castle grounds due to the fact that his family wanted to keep the heir of the kingdom safe and sound, and the only times that he would leave the castle he would be escorted by knights, never really allowed to roam free like he was now.

He knew that his time out here was limited, because although he would love to explore the town for hours, he knew that he had to get back to the castle before his family noticed that he was gone. So with a few hours to spare, he made his way to the plaza were he noticed there were many people and he wanted to see what it was.

He was amazed by everything from the street merchants, to the many people buzzing around through the streets, that it was almost too much to take in. Calum knew that once he had his coronation, which wasn't that far away, he would use his kingly privilege to go out to the town more often, because after today he knew that he would come back. It was so nice out here that he couldn't help but want to come back.

Calum took off his hood, knowing that he wasn't going to get recognized, since many of the townspeople didn't really know what he looked like, they only really saw him for the royal parade or when he was with knights and he was usually wearing his fine clothes suited for a prince, not the simple clothes that he was wearing now, he blended in perfectly.

As Calum arrived to the plaza, he noticed a sparkling circular fountain in the middle of the plaza, there were many people surrounding it. Some were throwing coins in making wishes, children were playing tag around it as well using a certain area as a base, but what really caught Calum's attention were the couples that were sitting on the ledge as they shyly held hands and peppered each other with soft kisses, and whispered sweet words that made smiles appear on each other's faces.

Seeing these couples was what really threw Calum off. He knew from the fairy tales he was told as a child that love exists, but he's never really experienced it himself. That was one downfall of being royalty, you didn't have many relationships like the way the commoners usually did. He noticed one couple in particular; they held hands tightly as the man leaned in to kiss her. He looked down to his own hand, and clasped the empty air, wondering what it would feel to hold his special someone's hand like the way he did. He held hands with girls, whether it was his family, like his mom or sister, or his dance teacher, but he wondered if it felt the same as the way this couple held hands, so gentle and lovingly. And wondered if he would ever meet someone to hold hands like the way they did, and if he did...when would it happen.

He walked more curiously through the fountain, looking directly at the fountain or to the buildings, not really looking what was in front of him till he felt something collide with his chest. He instantly looked in front of him and noticed that on the floor was a (h/c) maiden on the floor.
