Magnus was not the easiest prince to look after. Most of the time, he managed to find a way to slip away from his guards and make his way out of the castle walls until he was found again a couple of hours later. This habit hadn’t changed even as he’d grown up despite the large number of different guards who had been assigned to look after him. But there was one guard who was managing to do a better job at keeping him where he was supposed to be than the others.

“I know you’re my guard and you’re doing a very good job but can you please just– get distracted once in a while.”
