After meeting Tiana, Ruby flies to the woods next to the castle and she stays there till nighttime. She also buys some costumes.

Sonier: *wakes up* Ugh, where am I?

Ruby: Finally you're just on time

Sonier: How did I end up here?

Ruby: I had to hold your arms while flying here

Sonier: and why are we here?

Ruby: we’re going into the castle, you wear this prince costume and distract the princess and others while I go inside and steal some precious gems

Sonier: …No

Ruby: What?!

Sonier: Umm... I’m too dizzy to do this mission

Ruby: Fine then, you can stay here by yourself

Sonier: Alright

Ruby covers her face with her mask

Ruby: Wish me luck *runs off*

Sonier: … ( I don’t wanna steal from that girl... I know we just met, but it feels like there’s something… between us. I guess the only way to talk to her more is to be.. ) *looks at Prince costume* *sigh* ( I’m not gonna do this to steal the gems, I’m just doing this to know the princess more )

A few minutes later…

Sonier: *walking towards the castle gate*

Guard S: Who are you? *blocking his way*

Sonier: Prince Sonier… of a kingdom far away. I’m here to see the Princess…

Guard S: Sorry, the Princess is-

Amelia: What’s going on, S? *walking outside*

Amelia looks at Sonier

Amelia: ( It’s him… )

Guard S: This Prince would like to see you

Amelia: P-Prince?

Sonier: Y-Y-Yeah

Amelia: Let him enter…

Guard S: Yes, your majesty *moves out of Sonier’s way*

Sonier: *follows Amelia*

Amelia: *walking with him* You never told me you’re a prince

Sonier: W-Well… *gulp* I try to keep my identity away in the village. If you see what I mean. But you never told me your name

Amelia: Oh.. I’m Amelia... But you can call me Lia if you li-

Sonier: No worries, Lia

Amelia: …!

Meanwhile

Ruby: *running towards a door in the castle* Great… stuck… I guess I’ll go down another floor

Xavier: *walking through the hallway*

Ruby: *goes under the floor to the top of Xavier*

Ruby is surprised because the first thing she sees is Xavier’s face in front of her when she falls down that floor

Xavier and Ruby: …!

Ruby: ( Whoa.. )

Xavier: ( Wow.. ) H-Hold on, who are you?!

Ruby: …! *jumps down and runs quickly*

Xavier: WAIT! *chases after her*

Ruby: *pant*

Xavier: Hold on! I just wanna know who you are!

Ruby: *runs around a corner* Phew… I think I lost him *sits against a wall*

Xavier: You didn’t lose me that easily *walking towards her*

Ruby: …! *crawls back a little*

Xavier: Hey, Hey! Don’t be scared, I’m not gonna hurt you!

Ruby: I-I’m not scared!

Xavier: Then why were you running away?

Ruby: …

Xavier: I’m Prince Xavier

Ruby: …!

Xavier: and you are?

Ruby: Umm.. I’m… Mary…

Xavier: That’s a beautiful name

Ruby: *looks away* Thanks…

Xavier: So how come you’re wearing that outfit?

Ruby: Oh I’m just… heading out to spy on these criminals…

Xavier: Oh.. mind if I can see your face?

Ruby: I-I don’t think I can do that...

Xavier: and why not?.

Ruby…
