Balekin had a night off.
It was a rare thing, even rarer that he was here and not visiting his twin, but since Balekin had found the house empty, he had guessed that Flora was either here or working.
It had not been difficult to find his twin among the crowd, too close to the +
@ABITEBACK “Shame.” He hummed, a smug smile forming on his face as his hand slid up her stomach, brushing underneath a boob but being considered so that his touch did not break further limits before his ringed hand closed around her throat—resting, not squeezing. “I like to make them +
Someone in the castle was going to d*e.
That’s why Balekin had taken advantage of his identical twin’s looks and borrowed a uniform.
Down corridors he passed, ignored by royals that had a table to fill their greedy full bellies, to distract their simple minds with a new way of+
@ABITEBACK Balekin stepped back to let her work, but following the process to learn. Even if he had no drop of healing magic within him, he liked to know.
“So the idea of royals fucking their sworn guards is fake? I thought it was the power imbalance what was a sort of turn off.” Though +
@ABITEBACK + contenders for dance partners.
“The male ego is so fragile,” he speaks near her ear, breath fanning over her neck as his hands traced the curves of her body. Taunting the watchers maybe —- he had his own humour. Too. “How do you deal with it daily?”

“You seem to care a great deal about that guard of yours,” he hummed as he trailed her to the basements, following her for some unknown reason. “Is he also +
@ABITEBACK she had come to him. Why? He cast a glance over her shoulder, where men glared with envy. He frowned slightly but stepped forward to join her.
@ABITEBACK Balekin hesitated, even with his hand held, even if she looked like a goddess with her hair down and tousled due to her fingers having been through it. Goodness, she was gorgeous.
“Your Highness doesn’t have enough contenders for dance partners?” She did, she clearly did, but +
@ABITEBACK Balekin wanted to curse. The gardens. Perhaps he could slip away there. She would be safe within the walls of her castle—why did these pompous royals need guards 24/7?
“Of course,” he mumbled, following along without another look to the guard, who was eyeing his scar with +
@ABITEBACK to speak, to announce his exit, but the guard announced that her personal guard—Lasriel—was sick and it’d be safer if the princess stayed away for the day.
With none other than ‘Flora’ tasked to guard her.
“What?” He blurted out before realising, which made the man look at +
