She sighed as they returned to the castle, dusting herself off and straightening up. She looked to Erik and said softly, "Inform as many guards as you can, I'll talk to my father. It'll be easier and he's less likely to be mad at me." She sighed softly and walked down the hall to her father's courtyard.

"will do ma,am" Erik tells as many gaurds as he can about the invader and he goes to the nurses room to clean and wrap the wound on his arm. he then goes to the kings room and waits outside the room waiting for your return and also listening to the convesation in the room.

She took a deep breath as she stepped inside, doing her best to explain to her father. He was admittedly frightened, demanding where it had happened and if anything happened to her. She tried to tell him that she was okay, yet he demanded that she be seen to, saying he'd take care of the situation.

She ran her hands through her hair as she left the room, exhaustion making her lean against the wall.

"this is my fault I shouldn't have played that stupid game, none of thia would have happened if I just did my job" he sighs looking down at his feet. he looks up at her "are you hurt anywhere Sofia?" he asked her worriedly. "I ruined a perfectly good day" he thinks to himself.

"No, please don't blame yourself. I liked that game." She said with a small smile. "You're fast." She straightened herself up and added, "Just like I told my father, I'm fine, don't worry about me. If anything, the exhaustion is starting to get to me. I think I'm out of adrenaline." She closed her eyes, trying to push away the lingering sensation of dizziness.

"thanks your fast as well, you should get some rest unless you have other things to do" Erik says maybe we can go outside tomorrow as well. earlier was fun I had a fun time haven't had fun in a while".

She nodded eagerly. She finally met his gaze before she looked to his injured arm. "Be careful with that arm, okay? I'll see you tomorrow." She yawned as she went back to her room, tumbling into the bed to rest.

The following morning, she awoke later then usual and cleaned herself up before heading out to the halls.

He nods to her and walks down the halls and out of the castle and he heads home for the night. He wakes up early and begins to work on his book before setting off back to the castle. He walks down the nearly empty streets not many people are awake at this hour. I enter the castle and walk down the long hallways and exchange places with Nero so he can rest and have his day off. I sit in a nearby chair and unshieth a sword and begins to polish and sharpen the sword and I am so focused I dont hear you exit your room.

She ran her hands through her messy hair in efforts to take it, yet soon noticed him sitting there. She went by his side and smiled. "Please tell me that you got some rest last night. You were a kidnapping victim, you deserve rest."

nearly jumps from fright when she speaks he was too focused on his sword. "yes I slept well last night" he says with a smile "thank you for caring about me, how did you sleep did you sleep well Sofia?" he rubbed his eyes and shiethed his sword once he was done polishing and sharpening his sword.
