Lucian leaned back in his seat, letting out a small sigh as he studied Celestia across the table. The light of the restaurant flickered against her striking features, but it was her demeanor that made him feel out of place. Her air of confidence, bordering on arrogance, made him question what kind of storm she was about to bring into his life.
"So, uh," he began, keeping his voice low to avoid drawing attention. "Is it even... allowed for you to be wandering around like this? You're, you know, a princess. Don't you have security or something?"
Celestia's lips curled into a smirk, her golden eyes gleaming with amusement. "I ran away," she answered nonchalantly, as if this were the most ordinary thing in the world.
Lucian nearly choked on his water. "Ran away?" he repeated, his tone laced with disbelief. His eyebrows knit together, his mind racing to comprehend the gravity of her words.
