Hildebrand was appalled when he heard what Amy had to say about the guards. "Well then, perhaps they did deserve a blow to head if they were attempting to get involved with women while on duty..."
After Amy and Andy left, the knight turned to Eliezer. "The Nemes Estate, Your Highness?"
Eliezer hesitated. "I do not think that it would be appropriate to bring a stranger into Lady Nemes' home, Sir Hildebrand."
"With all due respect, Your Highness, I do not believe that we have much of a choice at the moment," replied Hildebrand in an urgent tone.
Eliezer glanced at Raven, and then to his knight, and nodded. They took off from the village into the nearby forest, heading in the direction of the crown prince's temporary abode. The estate soon came into view, and eyeing it through the trees, Hildebrand spoke again.
"We should be far enough from the village, Your Highness. I shall go ahead to ensure that it is safe for the both of you to approach. Hopefully, I shall run into Shadow, so that I can send him out here to inform you of the situation."
Assuming that Raven did not have a weapon on her at the moment, the knight drew a short sword and handed it to her, in case she and the prince had to defend themselves at some point while waiting. He then turned and made his way towards the estate, soon vanishing from sight. Eliezer let out a sigh of relief at the chance for a rest, but having been given the time to think again, he started to become aware of the circumstances, and question the weight of what he had gotten himself into. He turned to Raven, finding her presence immensely comforting, yet wondering if she was worth what he had just done. The conflict was almost too much for him to handle. The soft light of the bright Moon shone through the leaves, and around them, the forest was silent. He stepped closer to her and gripped her shoulders tightly, resting his forehead against hers.
"There was once another who made me feel that I did not have to hide anything from him, the same person whom I have recently learned wants me dead. I do not know what I would do if I were to be betrayed in such a way again. I think that I am beginning to understand how much this means to you. I am choosing to trust you, my lady. I believe what I have done tonight is sufficient proof that this is so. In spite of how much I fear, and knowing how absurd this decision is, here I am with you. Can you take my fears away? How can you assure me that I have made the right choice? Perhaps I am the one who is selfish. You had the chance to start fresh by leaving tonight, but I have just taken it away from you."

Hildebrand's mind went blank once he saw Amy's face, rather, it only had the thought of how unexpectedly beautiful she actually was. His gaze followed her even as she walked away, and he only snapped out of it when Andy started to leave as well, remembering the situation at hand. He was unsure if a flush would be visible on his face if he had not had his mask on, and was therefore grateful that his face was currently covered. As he left with Andy, he looked back one last time to see Amy distracting the guards with her charm and looks.
"Well, that is quite a solution..."
Eliezer was at first confused as to why she was giggling at what he had said, and then flinched slightly when she took his mask. He made a fumbling attempt to give an appropriate reaction to her saying that she had recognized him from the start, but eventually gave up and responded to the question she had asked before that.
"I did not think that I even had a heart to offer her until she helped me to find it. Judging from the way I currently feel, either she still has it, or I regret not knowing how I could have given it to her."
When Raven mentioned the letter, he sat beside her and took it out, handing it to her. "I do not know what it says, for it was only given to me tonight. However, if I trust that you shall say to me all that you wish to this night, then I would not ever have to read it. Of course, if you believe that the contents of this letter are still valid and you wish for me to look at it, then I shall do so."
She then spoke about him being there, and to that he gave a reply as well. "You are... happy to see me? I am relieved, considering how our last exchange went. I was informed of what you were actually trying to do, and I had my doubts even after that, because I truly believed that you despised me after what you had said back then at the palace. I was worried for your psychological state after that threat you had left in front of the palace, but it seems that you have been well, am I am glad about that. I am here because I have decided to be here, and I want to be here."
Eliezer was shocked at what had come out of his own mouth towards the end. He could not remember the last time he actually told somebody what he wanted, or even thought about it. It was always about what was best, or what was expected of him. Was it wrong to do something only because he wanted to, and possibly at a big risk? How was he currently supposed to feel? Guilty? That was what his head was telling him. His heart, on the other hand, was plaguing him with something different - frustration, that the circumstances were preventing him from loving her completely, and fear, because of his responsibilities to Dainia as well as how much his feelings for her might cause him to hurt. On top of it all, he felt confusion. He had never had to manage so much emotion in his life, rather, he had always shut them out as a solution, so that he would not have to deal with them, but he could only do it for so long. Things were different now, but what was he to do?
He leaned over, shutting his eyes tightly and rubbing the bridge of his nose, and for some reason, he eventually let her in on how he truly felt at the moment. "I just... do not know what to do now, my lady. I am, afraid... afraid for Dainia, and afraid for 'us', that we cannot be together. Now that I have to make my own decisions, it all feels so wrong. Why, why do I feel so incompetent? I feel as such even as I currently burden you with my feelings and worries. I apologize, I should not be in such a state in your presence, but..."
He paused to take a deep breath and compose himself. The slight stinging in his eyes and the lump in his throat were to him, strange occurrences. He knew that it was how certain emotions would physically manifest, but it was something that he rarely experienced. Managing to push it all back in, he decided to tell her about something else that was on his mind.
"Truth be told, there is one other thing that I am here for, my lady. I wish that I could let you leave, put this behind you, and find happiness elsewhere. However, I believe that you need to know this. That heirloom you possess, I know which family it belongs to. I know who your father was, and my lady, you are so much more important to Lunar than you ever knew..."
Before he could say anything else, however, he was interrupted by Hildebrand, who came running up with Andy. "Your Highness, the warden of the village has been alerted of your possible presence here. You must leave the village at once."
So, it was because of him after all. Having to think fast, he turned to Raven. "Will you come with me?"
"Well, that is quite a solution..."

After tonight? Eliezer was stunned by the words of the man who had just spoken to Raven, though, he managed not to show it. He recalled her mentioning that she was going to leave Dainia the last time they had met, but he did not think that it would be so soon. As they began walking to a more secluded area, his mind once again raced to decide on what would be appropriate to say to her. He had chosen to come down to the village to speak to her because he was concerned about her emotional state after the threat she had left at the palace gate, and to perhaps somehow have her stay because he now knew about her bloodline. However, the fact that she just accepted the advance of a stranger led him to believe that she had already moved on from him. Of course, he was not aware that she knew that he was this stranger. Should he simply leave without revealing himself to her so that she can move on and find happiness elsewhere, or do right by Lunar by having its heir take her rightful place on its throne? As he dealt with this dilemma in his head, he decided to continue conversing with her as someone who did not yet know her personally.
"Will you be leaving so soon? It truly is a shame that I only have this one night with you, there could have been something lovely between us. I would assume that you are not the kind of lady who would be persuaded into staying in Dainia by a stranger whom you barely know, no matter how charming he might be, but I believe that is how it is," he commented with a sigh. "Sometimes we have to give things up, no matter how much we want them, because we know what is important for ourselves and those around us. I once had the heart of an amazing lady who desired nothing of me but my love, yet, it was the one thing I could not give her. It still hurts me, but many of us will hurt in life, unfortunately."
Eliezer had mixed feelings about pouring his heart out to Raven. It felt so comforting knowing that it was her whom he was speaking to, yet, he felt so distant from her at the same time. In addition, he still had not decided if he was going to leave that night without revealing himself and attempting to convince her to stay or not.
As the crowd that had gathered to watch Raven's performance started to disperse, Hildebrand overheard a conversation between two passing guards.
"The crown prince? Here? How likely do you think that is?" Asked one.
The second one shook his head. "It is wonder that the warden even took it seriously. An anonymous tip? It is likely that somebody is attempting to make fools out of all of us."
"Whoever told the warden about this mentioned the dancer. We had all assumed that Prince Eliezer has stopped seeing her, had we not?"
"Let us just try to locate her and find out if there is any truth to this. Besides, it is not as if there is much to do here."
Hildebrand immediately moved away from the guards after listening to what they had to say, knowing that if any of the guards recognized him, they would know for sure that the prince was at the festival as well. Agitated and worried for Eliezer, the knight then took both his assassin companions aside to speak to them.
"We have to find Prince Eliezer before the guards do and warn him that they are on the lookout for him, unless there is another way of preventing them from finding him," he told them in a hushed but urgent tone, and then sighed. "Regardless, I shall have to ask that you do not harm these guards. Just as you assassins are like siblings to one another, they are as such to me."
