Brent groaned in frustration, then began to argue with the prince.
“Will your kingdom go into shambles if you simply left for an hour, maybe less? I am not talking about leaving forever, you imbecile, I meant for a bit of time because unlike you who is used to sleeping in a coffin if you so desire, I can’t stay day after day trapped in a room. Just… a few minutes outside, feeling air through my locks, it’s all I desire. I’ll give you anything for it, maybe even some blood if you so require.”
He laughed and smiled at him. “Do not get angry my little love. I thought you have meant for us to leave forever, not just an hour.” He kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair. “We can leave for and hour or more if you wish it, no need to give me anything for it.” He took BRent’s hand gently and stood up before leading him out of the room and out to the castle grounds.
