This is a part 2.

Also, big thanks to @SOPHIA01042008 for helping me with ideas for this.

"I'm really sorry, Lady Cassian," Nico and Will bowed in apology.

"It's fine, I'm sure you had something to do," Lady Cassian sighed.

"Your Highness, your father is looking for you," a servant said. Nico nodded and walked away.

"Are you and my fiancée dating?" Lady Cassian asked.

"I beg your pardon?" Will turned to face her.

"You randomly show up at the palace, drag Prince Nico away, and you both come back together tattered and your clothes are wrinkled. Also you're redder than a tomato," she said.

"I- What?" Will asked.

"I won't judge. I'll help. I can cover for you guys and stuff," she shrugged. Will shifted uncomfortably in his chair. "If you don't believe me we can get a magician to have a pact, or I can sign something like an NDA, your choice. I personally don't care about this. I never really wanted to be his fiancée."

"Why are you doing this?" Will asked.

"It was an arranged engagement, I never really had a say. My parents wanted their daughter to be a queen, and I personally... wanted to marry Princess Bianca... but it's unacceptable in this country," she looked at the garden. "Maybe if the one and only prince said and did something about this, we won't be so judgmental."

"Will?" Bianca said from behind a bush, quite far away too. Will saw Lady Cassian stiffen up, scared if she heard that. "What are you doing here? Ah, hello Lady Cassian."

"Hello," Lady Cassian bowed. Will was impressed on how calm and collected she looked.

"I- just wanted to stop by," Will laughed.

"Huh, well I have polo practice. I think I saw Nico running back, so he should be here soon," Bianca pointed behind her. "See ya!" Will waved to her as Lady Cassian bowed.

"Will!" Nico called.

"Speak of the devil," Lady Cassian said.

"You have to go back, Will," Nico ran up to them. "Your father thinks we kidnapped you, you better go back now."

"Haah, alright." Will walked towards Nico, whispering as he walked by "I'll keep in contact, Love." Nico smiled and nodded, walking back to Lady Cassian.

Their collection of letters grew day by day. To be honest, Nico felt bad for the magicians and postmen. Nico's family never questioned why a mountain of letters arrived, his mother mostly assumed they were invitations to parties.

Once, Will asked Nico out on a date. It wasn't anything special, but it was important to both of them. Constantly hogged up in their rooms and offices, their outings are limited, as well as visitation. Nico even kept the exact letter in a box for safe keeping.

My Dearest Nico,

It has come to my attention, or more specifically, all of my thoughts for the past 7 months, that we haven't had a date yet. Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but I do think there is a festival happening in a couple days, would you be so kind to accompany me?

I would also like to add that I miss your warm smile, and jet black hair.

Okay, getting back on topic. My parents will be at a ball and my siblings will be asleep at that time. Are you willing to go? Please send me a letter soon, I wish to read your answer with the hopes of a yes in the future.
