The sun had set by the time Oriana finished all her assigned duties. She returned to her room to check on the bundle of flowers hanging by her window, left to dry in the air.

"What brings you here?" he asked without lifting his head from the document he was reading.

"Your Highness, I ask your permission to visit the Crown Prince of Abetha. I swear that I will return as soon as possible."

In the first place, his hand injury was hardly life-threatening. Give it a few weeks, and the broken bone would heal on its own.
