After Alessandra walked away from the throne room, she had regretted walking away. She could never come in contact with him again; Did she really want to leave him with no final words? Mutual respect and good feelings? Even if he was upset, she couldn't just let him be. She wanted to leave him on good terms. More than that, she didn't even want to leave. She sighed and shook away that wish. Hye Jin wanted her gone, and as future Queen, her wish would become true with no hesitation. 

Alessandra knew where Adrian would be after the throne room. It was the stables; He wouldn't leave without going there first. Alessandra rushed through the hallways and out of the castle. She just needed to see him one more time. One more time with hope for more. He would keep her around-- wouldn't he? 

Alessandra walked into the stables, breathless with flushed cheeks from the effort. She was relieved to find Henry and Adrian there. She walked purposely toward Adrian. She huffed out a breath. 

"[color=97228f]Prince Adrian.. I--[/color]" She started out as she stared at him. She wanted to tell him that Hye Jin intended to send her away, that she didn't want to go, that she wanted to stay by his side even if she would forever be just a handmaiden, she wanted to know if he was upset. She wanted to know why he had kissed her. Instead of any of that, she flashed him a huge smile. 

"[color=97228f]I will be waiting for your return. Do your best.[/color]" She said as she held her fist in the air. Her eyes filled with tears; Of fear, of sadness, of confusion, but instead, she preferred to stay silent. 

The Crown Prince had no time for trivial handmaiden issues.
