Kennedy was freaking out on the inside with now knowing she was the princess. Thankfully she seemed to like him but still it freaked him out since if he really messed up she could just kick him out if wanted, but with how she acted earlier she wouldn't do. After listening to her speak her let out a slow breath "Okay.. Okay.." He repeated with a deep breath finally calming down enough to think straight again "One question why would the princess want to get dirty and hang around a sweaty man all day?" He asked with a raised brow

"The princess doesn't like being a useless little girl who doesnt get to go out. And the sweaty man was cute, so it was sort of a win-win scenario for her." She shrugged. He was taking it better than she expected.

He was admittedly surprised to hear that she didn't like to sit around like he has seen with other royals but her... she was different. At her second comment he couldn't help but smile "Oh so I'm cute now?" He asked teasingly with a wink as he smile at her

"Absolutely adorable." She rolled her eyes and walked him back toward the door they had come in from. "You honestly don't need to know much about the castle except the way to Geoffreys office, which is just..." They got to the door they had entered from the garden. "Here. Its the first door to the right. And since Geoffrey is very boring, and I am generally bored, if you ever want to see me, my room is straight right. You go up a few staircases and it is the third door on the right, if you count all the ones you pass."

"Aww your too sweet" He beamed with a teasing smirk at her comment before walking with her through the halls. He nodded in agreement with her knowing that truly Geoffreys office was the only one he needed at the moment. He took a mental not of where Geofrreys office was which was fairly easy to find then looked a bit puzzled as she explained where hers was but he eventually just took note of it "You'll certaintly be getting a lot of visits from this lost puppy of yours" He joked with a small chuckle

"Good. I can't have you wandering around the grounds unattended, can I?" She grinned up at him she winced and shut her eyes as she heard a bellow from somewhere deeper in the castle that was most definitely, 'Astoria'. "Sorry, puppy, but I believe thats my cue to run away. Enjoy your day. Explore. Make some friends." She leaned forward on her tiptoes and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you later!" She turned and sprinted up the staircase toward her room, taking the steps two at a time.

"Nope not even for a second" He grinned back with a small chuckle which turned into a look of disappointment as she told him she had to run "I'll try to do those things" He said with a even tone to mask the hidden upsetness which quickly disappeared and was replaced with a flustered red face at her kiss "You enjoy your day too" He stuttered out as she ran off, he watched her go with a small smile before letting out a sigh and wandering back to the kitchen to look for something to eat for lunch

Skip to the next day?))

Yeah))

Once again Kennedy rose up early before the sun rose up, getting himself ready this time in what he now callded his 'work uniform', which consisted of boots, long pants, and a large long sleeved farmer shirt. When he was ready he didn't really waste time on eating breakfast as he took Monty out, tacked him up and rode off to the castle to start the day

Mercy had been out of bed for a while, brushingnher hair a bit more dutifully than usual. She was in similiar clothes to yesterday, a periwinkle blue blouse and black pants with working shoes. She scurried down the stairs and skipped her usual meeting with Alice, walking quickly toward the shed. It would have to be one of his first stops, so she settled for leaning against it, fluffing up her wavy hair.
