A Horse Ride

Got sick due to sleep deprivation and college load of work and pressuring teachers so taking a short break from kinktober to write some healing stuff for myself... ♥

Final Honor x Honored Guest

"Do you not enjoy the party, sir?"

The silver-haired man turned around, the fresh breeze of the night brushing his bangs slightly. The fact that he wore a mask was quite unusual but the knight was not entitled to criticize. His duty was only to make sure that no commotion would arise and the nobility stay safe. Though, the number of guards was relatively high tonight so no one would say much if he wandered away from the ballroom for a while. Ensuring that the guests had fun in order to improve his country's image was also one of his tasks, right?

"I do, it's very well organized. I think I just prefer calmer places..."

His voice was softer than he expected. The knight bore a faint smile as he snatched two glasses of champagne from a waiter's tray who was passing by, handing out one to the other.

"This kind of event is always more pleasant with a drink, don't you think?"

The noble widened his eyes for a moment then accepted the glass with the golden liquid.

"Thank you."

The knight nodded and took a sip of his drink, watching from the side the gray-eyed one dropping his mask under his chin to do the same. He had a fairly gorgeous face under that piece of cloth.

"This olive-green color isn't something common here, are you perhaps from the Vandergaw Kingdom?"

"You have keen eyes, sir knight. Indeed, I'm actually the crown princess personal attendant."

"Personal-"

"Don't worry, there's no need to be courteous with me, our country doesn't care much about ranks." he answered with a chuckle.

"I-I see..."

"I forgot my manners because I didn't expect anyone to find me here, my name is Aesop Carl, and you?"

"Eli Clark, just a mere royal guard." he laughed.

"Well, I thought so with the armor and the sword on your waist."

The two men exchanged a smile at their carefree chat. It was rather weird. Eli had always thought the nobles were arrogant people whenever he heard their princes or princesses talking behind other people's backs during tea parties held at the castle. However, he didn't feel that same pretentious and fake pride coming from Aesop.

Maybe it was due to his country's social rules which were different from his.

"How long will you stay here?"

"Our princess is here to expand the trade between our two countries so I would say... A month at most?"

"I guess it gives me a handful of opportunities to meet you! Should I volunteer to be part of your escort?"

Eli snickered and Aesop blushed, which he tried to hide with his gloved hand.

"You are very honest, sir Clark..."

"Am I? I just appreciate your company."

Aesop stared at the man at these curious words. There was a strange flicker in Eli's blue eyes that mesmerized the noble for a second.

"You should be careful with your words, sir... It could be misleading..."

The knight suddenly stepped closer to the other, just close enough so his breath would tickle Aesop's ear.
