Hey, DM me to RP!

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

Alessio smiled and hugged his sister.
" Well, I know we haven't been spending time together. So, I decided I'd get the horses ready."
He pulled back and rugged gently on Marias horse, his own black stallion standing in place.
" Do you need help getting on?"

[Maria Crivelli @VirtuousMaria]

@alessioCriv <After receiving her brother letter she quickly got ready for a horse ride. Once dressed Maria made her way across the yard to the stables. Poking her head in she saw her brother.> Ah brother! There you are.

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

@VirtuousMaria
Alessio had sent for his sister to join him at the stables earlier.
He waited, both his and Marias horses had been sadeled. He stroked the horses long neck, and held the reins in his other hand.
He wondered when his sister would arrive.

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

Alessio rolled his jaw and clenched his hand. 'Smile, make it seem like you're happy to be here.' He thought.
À small smile fought it's way onto his stone cold face.
He waited for the Princess, his mother had told him that this was formal. " Princess Emma."

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

À smile made its way on his face, he looked her over.
He never got tired of seeing her, taking to her, infact he wanted to see her.
" Miss. Rosaline, you seem well."
He almost seemed like a little child, which for the prince was rare. He rarely acted foolish.

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

Walking from the kitchen, he turned accidently bumping into someone.
"Oh, I'm so-"
His eyes meeting with Rosaline.
" It's you."
He smiled.

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

> with confidence. Looking to his mother and his sister. The only people he could truly say he cared for, besides Rosaline. Would he have to forget her?

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

He settled and watched as the Princess got out.
Was it too late? Too late to run away, he didn't want this. But what was he supposed to do?
He ran his finger through his hair and put a smile on his face. People from the castle had gathered around to watch the meeting.
He stood>

@Apocaradokia

“Dacia business. Nothing of importance to you.”
He smiled.

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

“Also, trust me, we’d have more fun if I carried you.”
He winked at her as he moved his head back.

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

Hé laughed, and openly admired her. At the moment he didn’t care who saw, he just wanted to be in the moment. He wanted to be with her .
“They’re so many things I want to tell you. You make me very happy, I’m so many ways I can’t describe.”
He leaned closer to her ears.+

Alessio chuckled at Romeos concern. Oh, yes, his father was very healthy. He was just neglecting any duties as a husband, father, and king.
“He’s perfectly fine. He’s just..”
He trusted Romeo, but was this something to keep private?
“He’s distracted.”

[ℜ𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔬 ℭ𝔬𝔲𝔯𝔡𝔢𝔱𝔱𝔞 @ekstasitheos]

@alessioCriv “Alive.” He repeated with a firm nod, and as if on cue, three of the younger servants came running through the hall, giggling away together. Romeo couldn’t help but laugh.
He cleared his throat as they continued to walk together. “I’ve not seen your father around recently. Is -

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

And then other memories drifted in, ones he wasn’t fond of.
“ It’s very alive.”

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

Alessio nodded, dismay clearly on his face. He thought over everything his friend had said.
“I suppose this place is somewhat...normal. Yet, the memories are what make it feel alive, are they not?”
He pictured dining through the halls as a kid, and finding new hissing places.+

[ℜ𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔬 ℭ𝔬𝔲𝔯𝔡𝔢𝔱𝔱𝔞 @ekstasitheos]

Romeo gave a small shrug and elicited a soft laugh.
“I’d have come if the invitation had been extended to us lesser nobles. It’d have been nice to escape the monotony of it all here.” With that, he gestured to the tapestried halls.
“Everything’s so. . . Normal, here.”

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

Alessio turned and chuckled. He waited for Romeo to catch up to him.
“Symone...it was interesting. You should have come.”
He patted Romeo on the shoulder and continued.
“How never changing Dacia?”

[ℜ𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔬 ℭ𝔬𝔲𝔯𝔡𝔢𝔱𝔱𝔞 @ekstasitheos]

“Alessio!” The young male called out to @alessioCriv down the hallway, jogging to catch up to him.

“How was Symone?”

Totally not bitter that he didn’t receive an invite.

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

He chuckled heartily and smiled at the ground.
“Yes, but Im sure after awhile your feet would get tired and I would have to carry you.”
Alessios smile morphed into a smirk, and he shrugged.
“Which, I wouldn’t mind.”

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

He took her hand softly as he guided her to the dance floor. He placed his other hand on her hip, and began the waltz.
Rosaline was beautiful, from her eyes , to her hair he couldn’t give a name. He let his eyes rest for awhile.
“I could dance with you forever.”

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

He shrugged and winked at Rosaline.
“Well, it seems I am. “
He put his hand out and all the things that worried him almost disappeared .
“Rosaline, would you like to dance?”

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

He chuckled.
“A cup of wine? That’s no way to party. You just look sad, and depressing. “
He moved in front of her, looking head on. His smile broadening.
“ You should socialize! Make connection, maybe even dance..”
He shrugged his shoulders, but hopped his words worked. https://t.co/jF2bdXGQZ9

[𝕬𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖎𝖔 𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @alessioCriv]

He nodded thoughtfully.
“Good, good. I assume that means father is...”
He trailed from his thought. Too many people around, and too many ears. But he continued to think about the subject, what had his father become?
“Never mind. Maybe we can talk at another time. I do miss you”
