Akira froze for a moment as she recognized the voice as her dads. She turned around slowly keeping away any emotion that wanted to crawl onto her voice "Yes?" She asked with a flat tone. Her father top a step closer to her placing a heavy hand on her shoulder and held a tight grip on it that almost started to hurt "Where have you been? And who's clothes are you wearing?" He asked with a tone that she knew she was only going to get one chance to answer so she better think of a damn good lie. "I was returning Prince Faelers chestplate to him... When he was showing me aroudn the kingdom I ended up getting attacked by a cougar so I stayed the night to recover" She said firmly while rolling the sleeve up to show him the now forming scar. He didn't say anything but instead nodded and walked off, once out of ear shot she heaved a heavy sigh before walking into her room

Faeler walked into the shower, he had stripped of his clothes and washed quickly changing into nice clothes for the party

Akira quickly got changed into a light blue ball gown that wasn't super flashy or puffy but it was still cute. She handed off Faelers clothes to a maid asking for it to be cleaned and ready by tonight

Faeler combed his hair and stared into the mirror, he scrunched up his nose and ruffled his hair, "better"

Akira made her way into her bathroom looking into the mirror, she put up a small amount of makeup then fixed up her hair so it was half up in a bun and half down flowing softly around her face. She then fixed her gaze on the scar going down her arm thinking about whether she should cover it or not but after a moment she decided to leave it and made her way out of her room and to the ball room to help set up

Faeler walked out to the stables, he knew it would take a while to get to her kingdom some he might as well go now, maybe he could help when he got there

As soon as Akira got into the ball room there were servants coming up to her left and right asking for her opinion on things. She voiced her opinion on as much as possible before starting to feel overwhelmed but she just pushed through the questions hoping they would end soon

Faeler arrived shortly and knocked on the gate

The guards at the gate looked down at Faeler then at a list in their hands. One of them finally opened the gate and let him in

Faeler rode in and stopped, he dismounted and walked towards the castle
