The weather outside was clear with a nice breeze. The sun's rays shined down upon the prosperous land of Dubonna, as if smiling in joy. Kris peered outside the window of his bedchamber and saw that the land was just as beautiful as it was yesterday. 'I love my country,' he thought to himself before hurrying back inside. Quickly, he threw on his tunic and pulled his cape over his wings. He had gotten up rather late for the sun was almost halfway across the horizon. Still, this didn't stop the prince from calling for breakfast at about a couple hours before noon and hurrying outside to enjoy the weather.

The courtyard was filled with spring flowers and the pond shimmered under the sunlight. Kris spent some time idling about, glancing at the ducks swimming in the water. The sparse guards who stood about all gave the prince warm smiles, clearly also affected by the weather. Kris smiled back at them before thinking through the day's plan. 'Perhaps I'll sit around a bit longer, then go riding,' he thought. 'Later, I might go train or something and hopefully have a good dinner!' As he thought about it, a grin began to spread on his face. In fact, he was almost giggling as he became more and more excited about his day. There was all the time in the world for him to do everything he wanted. That was what he loved about being a prince!

Then, Kris began to wonder where his brother was. It would be too much of a shame if he decided to stay inside and read all day long. The weather was just begging for people to enjoy it. Anyways, it would be so much fun to go riding with him. It felt like he hadn't done it in quite a while. "Chevy!" he called toward the castle. "C'mon outside! It's so nice!" While he knew that the castle walls were a bit thick, the news would spread quickly at the call of the prince. Even if Chevalier hadn't heard Kris's call, he would hear about it from someone.

hey, little brother?

Chevalier was curled up in the kitchen, listening to the general chatter as the staff cooked his brother's breakfast and slid him some strawberries and ham. He hadn't asked for it- actually, he'd hardly noticed when it was set on the floor beside him, except for the playful smile he was given as one of the kitchen servants, likely no more than fifteen, passed by him. Chevalier looked up from his book with a charming smile and a nod of acknowledgement. When he looked back down he noted the food and picked up the slice of ham, taking a lazy bite. The carefully placed utensils on the plate went unused.

Eventually, the same girl who set the plate on the floor returned to him, her face flushed as though she'd run a great distance very quickly.

"Are you okay? Is something wrong?

[/color]" The prince quizzed as she caught her breath.

"No, the prince is calling you." The girl murmured breathlessly. Chevalier smiled, getting up. He smoothed the light black jacket he was wearing, then brushed at his black pants so that he looked somewhat presentable.

"Thank you, sweetheart,[/color]" Chevalier offered. The girl ducked down, lifting his plate from the floor. Slightly startled, Chevy gladly took it, which seemed to startle her in return. With that, he left with his plate. He figured if he wasn't going to eat the rest of the ham, why not let one of the cats that frequented the grounds? He didn't ask where Kris was, knowing fully well that there would be others warning him of his brother's request along the way. As expected, he was told several more times and informed that Kris was outside.

As Chevalier left the castle, he was struck by how bright and warming the sun was against his skin, and by how late in the morning it was. And then is brother came into view, so he walked quietly to his side, plate still in hand.

"You called?[/color]" Chevy prompted with an amused grin. He was far from annoyed. Actually, without a doubt, Kris was his favorite. Kris was the one person Chevalier couldn't imagine living without.[/size][/blockquote]

When Kris saw his brother stride into the courtyard, carrying the remnants of his breakfast, he couldn't help but grin even more. "Yup!" he exclaimed in response to his brother, who seemed rather amused. Compared to Kris, Chevy was much more responsible and mature in his little brother's eyes. However, Kris knew that Chevy would put up with most of his antics and was one of the best older brothers ever. The possibility of competition for the throne was completely impossible in Kris's mind for one, Kris didn't want to be king and second, he knew that Chevalier would make a much better ruler.

Approaching his royal brother with a cheerful smile, Kris said, "I figured that you would be stuck inside on such a nice day if I didn't call for you to come out. Anyways, I thought that maybe we could go riding together. You know, we haven't done that in forever." It was clear that Kris was in a good mood and he knew that his brother would agree no matter how selfish his desires were. That was one of the reasons Kris loved his older brother. As a child, he always clung to the tunic of the older sibling and looked up to him greatly. There was no need to compete for the favor of their parents because Kris felt much closer to his brother than the parents who were always so busy to keep the country in order.

Kris then glanced across the yard toward the stables. The pastures beyond it seemed to shimmer with the sun's rays, making a lush green against the blue of the sky. It was a wonderful scene. He then reached out to pull on his brother's hand.

"C'mon Chevy! Let's go get our horses!" he enthused before started off to the stables.

Chevalier replied indignantly. The grin he was sporting gave him away--he wasn't the least bit annoyed--despite his efforts. "I was reading something fascinating, thanks.

[/color]" All his books were always fascinating, no matter what they contained. But nothing was more remarkable to him than works willingly submitted by the people of Dubonna. Just random bits of literature, or poetry, that really captured life for the people. But, unlike him, Kris didn't seem to need to read in order to understand. It seemed like he was always outside, and usually among people--admittedly, girls most of the time Chevy had observed him.

"Of course we can, Kris.[/color]" Chevalier agreed. Riding wasn't his favorite passtime but he had outgrown his ametuer mistakes for the most part, which was something. That left him proficient as a rider. In anything more adventurous or dangerous than a recreational ride, he would undoubtedly be a liability on a horse. He was the type of person that still felt minor, concealable amounts of anxiety no matter how often he practiced the skills involved with riding. To him, the anxiety was justified. As a child he'd been the type of kid who didn't pick it up naturally, and, worse yet, who fell off an unmoving horse one too many times for comfort.

"Alright, let's go,[/color]" Chevalier agreed, grinning as his brother grabbed his hand. With enthusiasm like that, Chevalier had nothing to complain about. His sole goal became just keeping his little brother smiling. To him, nothing else could possibly be more important today. So the elder prince followed his younger brother, his focus fixed on the teenager. If Kris ever did desire the throne, Chevalier had no idea how he'd ever refuse his little brother. It was probably a good thing that wasn't something Kris was likely to ask of Chevy.
