Here is my piece for day four of SuleMio Week 2026! This time, I’m using the Princess/Knight AU as well as them Sharing a hobby and getting competitive, for a fun little piece that I really enjoyed making! So, I hope you enjoy reading it!
CW: Discussion of dead parents
Summary: The princess of the Benerit Kingdom, Miorine Rembran, only feels free riding her horses. As such, when she meets with the knight leading her to potential freedom, she feels the need to share this part of her with the warrior.
Taking off her helmet, Suletta sighed in her small, private room, her red, braided hair hitting the back of her neck. It was sweltering within the armor’s metal walls, so it was always a relief when she could take it off, letting her face be hit with anything cooler. Of course, the times it was safe to do that were incredibly rare, Her mother told her if anyone knew who she was, she would likely be killed in an instant. Benerit’s mages hadn’t yet detected her through her armor, though, thankfully.
Speaking of, she turned the helmet’s face back to her own, “Aerial, thank you for helping me today. I don’t think I could have beaten Shaddiq without you.”
The armor didn’t speak back, but she could feel her approval coursing through her mind, putting Suletta at ease, even with all the knicks and chips the duel put in Aerial. For now, she could just remove the rest of the suit and relax for the night.
However, right as she was removing her chainmail, she heard a knock at her door. Then another, then a few more, all in a specific pattern she recognized as the princess’s handiwork. After all, Miorine insisted upon a super secret knock for their midnight meetings, just to be safe.
