"Lost them..."

The girl muttered to herself as she ran, briefly stopping to jerk her head back, checking for palace guards on her trail.

Her breath came in ragged gasps, she had led them on a wild goose chase through the city for the better part of the morning.

She ducked around a corner, completely oblivious to the strange glances she garnered from the passerby- a girl with her looks dressed in servant's wear was by no means a regular occurrence.

It hadn't been all that difficult to sneak out, but getting back into the castle would be a bit of an issue. As she looked up towards its silhouette framed in the center of the sky, she let out her breath and thought of what she would say to explain to her father about all of this.

King or no king, though, he was still rather gullible and would swallow her story about tracking down her lost puppy rather easily.

As the adrenaline rush faded, a smile slowly overtook the princess's face as she went over her plans for the day in her head. She'd get to go to a cafe. See shows. Go to the markets. Be around people. Live.

Her stomach grumbled, and she thought to herself that it would be the very best thing in the world if the first place she found could make her a cup of tea, hot and simple.

Just like how her mother used to make.
