Your birthday.
As a prince, you dreaded your birthday. People you didn't know everywhere, talking to you like they've known you their whole lives and have the right to kiss your cheek and give hugs... Ew.
You've grown up in that scenario repeatedly. It didn't help that half the people there were also just trying to get a piece of you. Or to have a meeting with your parents, discussing the plans for the future of the kingdom. Your birthday was just the buffer, soon becoming nothing more than a useless party. You rarely got gifts anymore, and if you did, they were weird or they had nothing to do with you.
Safe to say you hate your birthday.
You used to hope things would change, but they didn't. Till you turned 20.
December 2nd, 2013 - Romanov Manor - Guest's Birthday:
The party has already been going about for a half hour, your making your rounds, forcing a polite smile as you greet the guests (whom most you hope to forget). Silently, you're counting down the minutes till you can disappear to your chambers and get out of the damn suit that feels more like a damn corset.
Is this how girls feel?
Nevermind that, actually.
Unbeknownst to most, Arlo Wilkem is watching from the bar. He eyes the prince, seeing through every fake smile and compliment, every lie of recognizing a guest from the year before. Arlo almost pities the prince, having to live for others more than himself.
That makes an idea form quite quickly.
The prince obviously hated every second of this, so why not spare for poor boy and give him a thrill?
From behind, I wrap a hand around his waist, holding his back to my chest. Once I feel him tense, I press the blade of my knife to his spine. "Scream or alert anyone and I color the marble red." I murmur, starting to guide him through the ballroom, intending to take him to his room discretly.
I squeeze his waist just for a reaction, "Smile and wave, keep your eyes forward. You're 20, thats exciting isnt it, mой маленький принц?"
[Translation: My little prince]
