Prince Duties

~Roman's POV❤️~
"Roman wake up hunny, You have a big day today!!" I stirred awake to the sound of my mother (the queen).
"I'm awake....." I pulled the covers of me, sat up and rubbed my eyes to see my mother with a displeased expression obviously unimpressed with my response. "I mean... Good Morning Mother! What's on today agenda?" I stated with fake enthusiasm to hide my recent comment. It must've worked because she was grinning.

"Today son you are finally visiting the city to meet our people! Now that you are sixteen we believe you can wander the streets wi-"
"Really ?! I mea-"
"Do NOT cut your mother off young man!"
"Sorry mother... please continue" I said looking down in my lap.
"WITH a bodyguard. For the protection of my little baby" she states with a mocking voice and grabs my cheek in a way you would do with a young kid.

"Mum...." I said annoyed at her mockery.
"Go get ready your father and I shall be waiting for you at breakfast" She gets up leaves the room and shuts the door behind me, leaving me to prepare myself for the day. I run over to the bathroom to brush my teeth and comb my hair, then to the closet where I put on my usual outing clothes, it was a pair of white trousers with black boots, a white top with a red sash across from my right shoulder to my left hip, finished with golden buttons and a small golden crown not as big as my father's but still clearly visible on my head it had little sparkling Rubys and sapphires.

I walked out of my room in a posh manner and made my way to the kitchen when I had got there surprisingly there was only one stack of pancakes with syrup, usually it would be a whole buffet... not that I actually cared I never ate much anyway in the mornings. I sat down at my usual chair on the left side of the kings seat and opposite the queens. My parents were already there with no food in front of them.
"Good morning Father! Are you not eating?" I asked confused as he usually has more then me and that's saying a lot.

"Yes son me and your mother are perfectly fine we have already eaten and we let you sleep in late for your busy day ahead, we have chosen are finest guard to escort you through town and we want you to meet him before you go" I half listened whilst ramming down my pancakes in a Un-mannered fashion, My father gave me a look but I ignored it and pretended not to notice. I swallowed getting ready to talk.
"what time am I leaving?"
"In about 30 mins so I suggest you get a move on to meet your guard he is waiting for you outside" He gets up and walks out of the room.
"Give a good first impression hun" My mother says whilst getting up and following her beloved out of the room.

I chomp down the rest of my breakfast and run down the halal towards the front doors. There waiting for me was a boy? He looked 18 he was tall with black hair and glasses, he was dressed in a blue outfit with a sword on his hip and reading a book.

"Hello you must be my escort!" I said stopping in front of him trying to start conversation. He looked up from his book and instantly closed the book putting it aside.
"The correct term my leash is Royal Guard and Adviser, but yes you may call me escort if you so wish." He said whilst bowing.
"No need for formalities let's just get going!"
"But it is not time ye-"
"Who CARES! I'm a slow walker anyway!" I said grabbing his wrists leading him towards the gate he stumbled but regained balance and walked closer to me to protect me. I was infact not a slow walker but a bad excuse is better than no excuse! After ten minutes of walking toward the town we finally make it every one stops when they see me and move out of the way clearing a path.

"Um... Good morning Citizens!" I said waving my hand, My guard rolls his eyes.
(From now on if they think anything it will be in bold if I'm talking to you then it will be bold with brackets if it's a sound effect it will have stars, ok continuing....)
Omg that sounded so stupid! Ok roman just change the subject and keep walking. "Um..escort what is your name? It makes it easier for me"

"If you insist my leash my name is Logan" he says keeping his eyes dead ahead and not slowing down speed. " where do you seek to go?"
Oh god! There are soooo many places I wanna go! I'll make a good impression and say something for the people.
"Is there any places we can go to meet and help the people?" I asked hoping I can make a good first impression on both the citizens and Logan, I want to be known as kind and generous.
"Yes I believe so... there is a huge hall down the street we can arrange a meeting with the people there they can come see you one at a time" He says stopping and pointing right showing the direction of where we would need to go.

"like a meet and greet!" I asked smiling.
"Call it what you will my highness now we must get a move on I'll inform the people of this 'meet and greet' if you so please"
"Yes please Logan!"  After a couple of mins I'm sat at a table in the hall with a huge que if people waiting to see me and seek advice, Logan stood beside me making sure no one steps out of line. I turn to face the crowd beaming with excitement.
"Let's get started!"
