Tsuna woke up, light-headed. It must've been because of his lack of sleep; he couldn't get into the right position on the foreign bed. It was quite uncomfortable than the couch in the palace, but he couldn't whine for something decent. Perhaps, he had adapted too much in Royal's life. He just hopes that his personality won't be spoiled as time goes by, Joking. He shivered at the thought of copying his brothers' act.
He turned his head to the side, looking at the other occupied bed, filled with snores. 'He must've slept well.' He thought, good for him.
Maybe he should shower now, it's not too early, nor is it too late for the warm water, while Max is still asleep. He doubts there would be even the tiniest drop of warm water left if Max got in first than him. This wasn't the palace, where all the heated pool is undeniable limitless. This place serves enough water for the days required to stay. And his knight is, how should he put it, shameless.
The prince wasted no time to hurriedly grab the towel, turning on the shower as comfortable with just a pull. He lets out a pleasant shivering sigh as soon as the hail of water touches his skin like big kisses. His hand travels to his body, washing every inch of it with soap, coming across an ugly scar that's brought into this world along with himself.
It was one he got from the fight with Hibari, under his collarbone. It turns out, and even a friendly spar could go wrong. It was nothing major, but it is a vital thing to have as a Royal family member if the gossip nobles see it. As the one who is involved in high society, it is a must to keep skin flawless. Ridiculous.
It didn't take him long to finish; he didn't plan to use more than should anyway. Tsuna wrapped the towel around him once again, opening the door.
"Ah, Your Highness. My apologies, I'm quite the heavy sleeper." As expected, the knight has woken up from the sound; Tsuna nods in response.
Tsuna passed the knight, sitting on his bed while drying his hair. They need to start the journey again as soon as possible due to the time-limit. He doesn't want to see thousands of knights coming to search of him like a wanted criminal. He'd rather not risk it.

A couple of minutes passed before Tsuna knew it, he's already on top of dirt once again. The sheer tranquil environment of the town entered his sight back, the fresh morning air circling the nation with its slight coldness.
Their horses were put in the motel with extra pay to it; the owner didn't accept at first— but seeing the bag full of gold coins, he couldn't help but be tempted by them. Who wouldn't? A commoner receiving such a gift is a one in a million chance.
They left the animals due to stares and whispers that drove towards them when they rode the horses, and their main thing to avoid is attention. It is better to truly stand at the same height as the commoner to fit in well with the disguise.
Besides, the cafe should not be far from here.
"Your Highness. Why is it that you want to meet the rebel so much?" The silence atmosphere shut down between them. Tsuna perked up his ears like a cat, glancing at the curious knight.
He sighs, he supposes it's healthy since the knight wasn't given a precise order and explanation on why he had to accompany Tsuna. However, he still shouldn't ask out of mere curiosity. A knight has to protect his or her master without any further complaints as they had sworn their loyalty towards Royalties.
"It is none of your business." He answered calmly, with no trace of coldness and furiousness in his tone.
A nervous laugh followed with several extended apologies, which Tsuna accepted and brushed it off as nothing happened.
