"I don't know about that. After all, his disobedience was the reason we even met in the first place."

Eliza chuckled. "Of course. How could I ever forget? Either way, he's turning out to be a fine bird." She vaulted into the saddle, taking the reins in her hands.

Alain followed suit, albeit a bit more akwardly. "How are the other Falcons adjusting to the new setting?"

"They're doing well. Surprisingly so. Though I'm not one to complain about blessings," she replied, urging her horse out of the stables and towards the green fields outside. "The falcons have proven themselves to be quite adaptable."

"Have you named the royal ones that were previously referred to as 'falcon?'"

"Oh yes, I've named a few. "Juliana, William, Aster, Foxheart, Rupert, Frightful... And a few others."

"Even if they aren't, I won't pay them any mind. I can name them as I please," she replied with a slight shrug. "But how's being King treating you? It must be stressful. You're always so tense every night..."

Alain soghed, closing his eyes for a moment. "It's very different from being Prince. I actually have responsibilities now. And I used to think that my father was overly harsh and cold, but now I'm starting to see where he was coming from. I miss him, very much. I wish he was here to teach me how to do all of this."

Eliza brought her horse to a stop beside his. "I know it's got to be hard. Even though I may not be very well-versed in politics, I will be here to help you." She paused for a moment. "And Alain... Do not become your father. He was a great man, yes. But he was harsh and rash in his decisions and policies and laws. You wanted to become King to fix all of that, didn't you? You're not like he was, Alain... Don't try so hard to fill his shoes."

"I don't know what else to do, Eliza. I've never seen any other sort of rule. There's so much to change, but I don't know where to start..."

"There are times when you need to follow your heart and trust yourself to make the right choices. When I met you, you had so many ideas about how you would change the way this kingdom was run. Why not revisit them? You once promised me you would lower the taxes for the poor townsfolk. Perhaps you could start there."

"I could encourage the nobles to stop spending quite so much. And sell quite a bit of the useless gold we have lying around the castle. It's rather inefficient, honestly."

"See? You're already making plans," Eliza said with a small smile. "No matter what, Alain, I'll always be here to guide you. You don't have to do this all alone."

He gave her a small smile. "I would be so lost and lonely in this castle without you. You know that, right?"

She couldn't help but chuckle. "You've only told me about five times before, but you flatter me still. I reckon my life would still be fairly monotonous if I hadn't met you."

The king smiled, wind ruffling his hair. "I'll do my best as King. I promise."

"I know you will," she murmured, leaning over in the saddle to give him a quick peck on the cheek. "Let's keep going. I think the horses are growing restless."

Eliza paused to think about it for a moment. "Sure, why not? I've missed in since I left. It would be nice to see it."
