"Woah, boy," Lilah murmured to her horse as he reared up. A person had scared him; a person falling from a tree. "Are you alright?" she asked the man on the ground, leaning over Champion's neck to see him.

"Uh…yes…sort of." He sat up. "Just in a bit of a shock. Nasty branch couldn't hold me."

Lilah gave him a curious look. "May I ask what you were doing in a tree?"

"Uh…nothing…" He lied.

"Oookaaay…" Lilah's eyebrows scrunched in, her confusion evident. "It's just… Usually, people have reasons for doing things. For example, I calmed my horse down because you spooked him. Or… You fell out of the tree because the branch broke."

Percival sighed. 'Fine. I was looking at the castle."

The castle… Her castle?

No, the castle right next to it. Of course it was your castle!

But… He can't know who I am! My secret has to remain just that: a secret.

Her expression turned uninterested as she tried to hide her shock.

"Oh, really? I guess it's pretty nice," she said, not turning to look at it.

"Ya think?" He sighed. "I've always wanted to be there. Work there. Anything!"

"Why?" Lilah asked, cocking her head to the side. "What do you find so interesting about it?"

"There's just something…magical about it." He blushed. "It sounds stupid I know."

Lilah shook her head. "It's not stupid. It does seem pretty special. Especially at night, like right now."
