hey ho its a royal medieval au of some sort and i have no idea what im doing

warning: im shit at world building 

Prince Chase’booming laughter was heard everywhere as he was hurriedly escorted to his royalbedchamber by his friend, Lady Jinja. The mirth was apparent in the way his shoulders trembled ever soslightly and in the way he fails to stifle his voice, even as Jinja was quick to close the doors. The way she turned and glared at him in less than a second would often be enough to sufficiently silence him but Chase found that he didn’t care much at the moment.

“Have yougone mad?” Jinja said, seemingly seething with anger. Her hands came to rest on her hips as she seized the prince with a deadly look, however he easily accepted it, laughing to himself as he did.  

“Oh, comenow, it was all in good fun,” Chase dropped himself on his large bed, bouncingon the mattress energetically. “Everyone seemed to enjoy it!”

“Everyonebut the Queen herself!” Jinja emphasized before sighing dejectedly. She shook her head. “Honestly,Chase, I enjoy a good laugh as much as the next gal, but even I know when to call quits before it’s too much. The Queen was furious, Chase. She grounded you. Aren’t you just a little bit worried?”

“You don’tknow Mother like I do, Jinja,” Chase said dismissively, leaning backwards onhis pillows with a smile. “She’ll soon see it was nothing more than harmlessjest on my part. We may even laugh about it by dinner time.”

Jinja was silent for a moment, wearing an incredulous expression on her face before she turned on her heel, already by the door with three quick steps. As herhand lingered on the knob, she turned her head back to Chase, eyes narrowed. “Ifyou say so, your Highness.”

Chuckling alittle to himself, Chase went to lie on his back on the large bed,fingers brushing against the fine silken sheets. He came to stare at thedecorated ceiling for quite some time, his cheerfulness slowly seeping out of him thelonger he rested on his bed. Perhaps Jinja was on to something; one hadso very little to attend to when restrained to the confinements of their room.Even if his royal status aided him in having the finest accommodations this kingdomcould offer. Chase rolled on stomach, head resting lazily upon his arms, hislegs darting to and fro. In hindsight, it mightn’t have hurt to have thoughtthat idea through. How was Chase to know the Duke and his wife would be visiting today? He had only meant to hit Jonathan Ace with the water hose, not a noble couple. Although he may have pushed it with the bout of unstoppable laughter that came to follow not only from him, but from the entire staff as well. But Mother was nothing if not forgiving. She wouldn’t keep himconfined in here for long, would she?

A few hourspassed, and Chase despairingly thought that yes, she would keep in here thatlong. Albeit being granted permission to eat downstairs with his mother, it was arather quiet affair. There was very little chatter exchanged between the two of them andalthough it was safe to assume that she was still mad at Chase, he couldn’t deal withthis silence and had the cook send dessert up to his room. Fine. If she wasn’t goingto talk to him, eating in the dining room or upstairs in his room wouldn’t make anydifference in terms of conversation.

A couple ofminutes later, there was a servant at his door, bringing him a tray of dessert.Sitting at the balcony outside his room, he sent a dismissive wave her way andtold her to leave it on his bedside. His mother’s silent treatment had left him inquite the sour mood, so Chase figured watching merchants and peasantsbustle about below the castle might prove interesting. The weather was nice, a clear sky with just the right amount of heat. Sadly that just served to further remind the prince of how loathsome his confinement truly was. He hated it when Jinja’s predictions came true, and he’d likely hear a well-deserved I told you so in the near future. Great.

With his cheek cupped by the palmof his hand, he let his eyes lazily wander until they spotted a knight and his squireby the lower floor section of the castle. The knight pointed to many differentdirections whilst speaking to his squire, the latter of whom noddedenergetically to his master in response. After a while, the knight left Chase’vision down below, leaving the squire to give a small bow and turn hisattention to the market. Even from a floor above, Chase could easily see howupright his posture was. Chase snorted in spite of himself and whistled loud enough for thesquire to hear him.

He turnedto look up at the prince on the balcony, confused. Chase waved at the boy from above, leaning forward against the hard hand-railing with smile.

“Yoo-hoo, Sir Knight.”

The boyquickly bowed again, realizing he was being addressed by royalty. “Your Highness!”

Uponraising his head, Chase could now see the boy’s face clearly as he was lookingup at him. The squire appeared to be no older than himself, sporting a simple set ofarmor in the colors of black, yellow and white. Squire’s usually donned thecolors associated with the knight they served, but Chase couldn’t seem toremember which knight in particular this would be. They were never very talkative, henceChase getting scolded for ‘bothering them’ by Jonathan Ace. The squire’s red hair was well-kept, and hehad a sharp but handsome face. Nice.

“When will your master return, good sir?” Chase called down to him. The boy didn’trespond immediately, seemingly staring at the prince which almost lead Chase to believe he hadn’t heard him until he mustered; ”In anhour or so.”

Chase heldup a finger, gesturing for the squire not to leave, returning to his room so as tograb the tray the servant had left on his bedside. He went to the balcony androunded the simple stone stairway integrated into the wall structure, descending all the way down tothe open lookout post on the floor below where the squire was watching him keenly. Chaseshowed him the tray he brought from upstairs with a triumphant smile.

“Care tojoin me for dessert?”

The boy’sface reddened before he attempted to school his features and straighten his back.“Are you…certain that’s alright for me to do?” he said with uncertainty, eyesaverted from Chase. “My master ordered me to keep a lookout while he wastending to other matters.”

“Splendid!May I keep you company while you do so?”

“But ofcourse, your Highness,” the boy blinked. “You are the crownprince. You may do whatever you desire.”

“Huh,” Chase murmured to himself, sitting on a slab of stone and removing the lid off the serving tray. “Tell thatto my mother.”  A delicious scent of chocolate wafted from within thecircular tray, revealing an assortment of puff pastries, tarts and other suchbaked goods. Chase’ sweet tooth was quite a known fact among the kitchen staff.He popped a small piece of chocolate into his mouth before patting theavailable space next to him.

“Come, now,I don’t bite. Say, what’s your name?”

Hesitantly,the boy eyed Chase’ outstretched hand with caution and the latter was suddenlyreminded of a picnic a few years ago in which Chase spotted a young deer andtried to encourage it to approach him with some toasted bread. A snort wasthreatening its way out of the prince’ mouth but he was determined not to makeit seem like he was laughing at the boy. Chase figured he had offended enoughpeople with his misunderstood sense of humor for one day.

“Alpha,” hesaid. “My peers know me as Alpha.”

He sat onthe offered space, a modest distance away from the prince. Chasedecided he didn’t mind as his legs began to swing on their own. A force ofhabit.

“Say, what’sit like being a squire?” he asked Alpha suddenly, reaching for a piece of strawberrythat was coated with white chocolate. He put down the tray between them both,gesturing to it as Alpha collected his words carefully. He politely declined, looking uncertain.

“It’smostly tending to steeds and sword training. You know what squire trainingentails, your Highness.”

“Yeah, butI don’t know what it’s like,” Chaseemphasized with a little roll of his eyes. His voice took on a slightly dreamy quality as he spoke. “Isn’t it exciting to follow yourmaster on quests and battles? Isn’t every day a new adventure for you?”

Alpha looked away, shoulders rising in a lame shrug. “Not always. It’s much more work thanmost people give us credit for, and battles are anything but exciting if one isunprepared.”

Chase’smile dropped somewhat as he averted his eyes as well. “Oh. My apologies.” Itseemed that he was more unaware in what the lives of his loyal subjects entailed than he thought.

Alpha shookhis head, eyes focused on keeping watch. “I take no offense, your Highness.”

The prince rolled his eyes again. “It’sChase.”

Alpha wassilent for a moment as he turned his eyes, eyes unblinking. “I know that, your Highness.”

“Then youought to call me by my given name. I have an entire kingdom to call me yourHighness,” Chase gesticulated with a swift move of his hand, head propped on his other palm. Jinja’s taunting words from earlier sounded in his mind, for whatever reason. “Trust me, it gets boringafter a while.”

Alpharemained quiet, eyes searching Chase’ face for something. Chase silently took note of how bright Alpha’s eyes appeared in the start contrast of his red hair. Chase pretended to be taken by the sight of the sky and the market below,licking his lips for reasons unrelated to the taste of sweets still lingering on his tongue.

“YourHighness, may I ask why you’re here?”

“Again,it’s Chase,” the prince huffed,eyebrows scrunched. “And I told you, I’m here because I wanted to keep youcompany. Also, it’s kind of my castle too, so…”

“Of course,I didn’t mean to be rude,” Alpha’s voice faltered slightly as he scratched his neck. “I was just trying to figure out whya prince such as yourself would want to be in the presence of someone like . ..me. I’m not really …someone of importance to you.”

Chase turned his head to look at Alpha with a surprised look on his face, slowly overtaken by a feeling of understanding. Here he was, casually eating his feelings away with someone who clearly wasn’t enjoying his company. Chase ran a hand through his dark hair, feeling slight remorse. He was really on a roll today. 

“Look,”Chase said. “In all honesty, I’ve never been fond of social statuses,etiquette or just most things in general that naturally follows the title of a prince. It’s kind of why I’m groundedright now.”

“Grounded?” Alpha repeated incrediously.

“But back to the point,” Chase said quickly, a most flawless transition back to his main point. “It may come off as a strange concept toyou, but I truly do enjoy your company. You’re a nice guy and hardworking, by the looks of it,” he grinned. “I mean, here I am, in all my majestic gloryand you still manage to keep a lookout for danger regardless. That’s very exceptional.”

“I do try,”Alpha replied dryly. He cleared his throat immediately afterwards, his shoulders less tense. “But…thank you ever so kindly.”

“Don’tmention it,” Chase said, standing up to his full height. He dusted crumbs off his royal garments and stretched his armsbefore him before going to scoop the half-empty tray of treats. “Well, Mr.Alpha, it appears I must take my leave before my mother finds out I’ve beensneaking around the castle without her knowing. Take care!”

Alpha nodded as he cautiously watched Chase ascend the staircase back to hisbalcony. Quickly, he blurted; “you too, Chase.”

Chasestopped mid-step on the staircase and looked back, stunned but quicklyrecovered to throw a wink back at Alpha. “See you around, Sir Knight.”

Chaseascended the last few steps up to the balcony of his room, perhaps a little faster thanintended, hoping Alpha hadn’t noticed. Upon entering his room, he saw no signsof any servants having entered his room while he had been conversing downstairs. Hesighed in relief, putting the tray on his table stand while he sat on his bed,contemplating.

You too, Chase.

Chase felthis cheeks grow warmer as he recalled Alpha’s sudden utterance of his name.It wasn’t supposed to mean anything, heck, Chase had even encouraged him to use his given name, so why did he feel so giddyall of a sudden?
