Roman Arkvard, the kingdom's trustworthy knight, tackles a mission the king has requested to track down his son after he ran away. Roman faced difficulties catching him because the prince was very agile, but in the end he succeeded in his mission. Well at least half of it. He was supposed to return him home to the castle but Roman couldn't resist the princes pleads, and he let him go. He returned to the king, unsuccessfully, but he king didn't blame him, his son was very good at hiding. What Roman left out was the fact that he let him go, a bit of Romans love following him. What Roman did not expect was to feel this way for his prince.
