@♜ ☾ ᴘʀᴜᴅᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴋɪʟɪᴏ "well... to be honest, i never wanted to be a queen in the first place." then she paused before looking down, "but, damunides needed a queen that supports their people, to encourage them, to give them hope despite the difficulties that we're facing." she explained as she sighs before looking at the sky through the glass pane beside them, "however, i do not neglect my duties as a queen. once you have the most precious title, you cannot set aside the responsibilities." cecilia looked back at him. "i want to show our people how we handle responsibility on our own while we hold our titles." she told him.

@♜ ☾ ᴘʀᴜᴅᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴋɪʟɪᴏ "no, i'm fine. i already ate my meal." she smiled when the other touches her cheek gently, "thank you for the offer, prudence." cecilia respectfully refuses at him as they continue walking. "have you ever felt heavy in your title as a prince?" she asked him before looking at the prince.

@♜ ☾ ᴘʀᴜᴅᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴋɪʟɪᴏ hearing his words, the queen could also agree on him. "I guess we are the same in that statement, however, i often became unaware in my surroundings when i think. people might thought of me as cold and having hidden agenda." she chuckles a bit before looking back at him when she heard from the other about the war that is happening and it saddens her, she looked down. "yes... as much as i wanted peace for both parties, there will be the ones who wants to take away that one thing that keeps two differences from ever breaking." cecilia sighs.

@♜ ☾ ᴘʀᴜᴅᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴋɪʟɪᴏ cecilia blinked when the prince greeted her with a bow, she smiled and nodded as she greeted him as well, "prudence, greetings as well. you are always welcome to have a walk with me." then she looked back at the handmaidens behind her as she commanded them, "leave us." she ordered with a soft and unhardened tone before the handmaidens bowed before walking to the opposite direction to leave the queen with the prince. then cecilia turned back to him, "shall we?" then she starts walking through the hallway, "how are you tonight? i heard you were training earlier." she asked him.

{O P E N}

as night ascended from the sky, the queen of damunides along with her handmaidens were walking to the hallway. the royal staffs paid respect to the queen as she passed by them, the queen was just walking as she was thinking, not aware of the people around her. some think cecilia was cold and aloof, but the truth is... the umbra family are critical thinkers, they have the nature to be cold and unmoving as they were thinking in a very unique way. cecilia was curious why she felt different from them, as if she do not belong in this planet. she sighed and holds her head before she became aware of her surroundings, she looked at the staffs and servants from each side of the hallway, they greeted and bowed to her. cecilia smiles at them before she walks passed them.
