Derek closed his eyes, he knew it was his fault, he was supposed to be protecting the prince and he failed.

Soon the prince was taken care of, stitches, and fumed words with his father only making the air thicker.
Kaisly had been up and walking rather quickly. He grabbed his knight's hand and stormed off into the castle. He was angry, but not at his knight, more at his father for the harsh words he said to Derek for something he couldn't control at the time.

Derek let the prince pull him along, to lost in his own self loathing to care where they went.

The prince shut himself in his room, sliding his back down the door. " when did this war make us different.. I wish I had a distraction, maybe even an escape"

Derek didn't look at the prince, "I'm sorry… you got hurt … I failed to protect you". He didn't know what the other meant by a distraction or escape, he wasn't trained with that thought.

" it's not you're fault. It never was your problem to protect me. You never asked for it."

"I trained my entire life to be the best, so yes, I did ask for it." He said under his breath with a heavy sigh.

Kaisly sighed, walking over to Derek, and pulling the guard closer by his wrist. It was a gentle tug, not a command, maybe a question.. " Derek.. I.. I don't need you to take my blame. I was the reason I was hurt, not you, "

Derek allows the prince to pull him, "It is my duty to protect you, I should have been more aware of our surroundings not…not paying attention to something else more"

The prince shook his head, tired of the arguing. " more what? " he asked, looking up at the knight

Derek looked away, "nothing, don't worry about it"

" please tell me?" he asked softly

Derek looked at the ground, "I … " he sighed, "I was to busy staring at you…"

Kaisly flushed for a moment before chuckling "Did I have a branch in my hair or something? A lot of times my guards pick branches and stuff out during our rides.." he mumbled thinking about how a lot of his guards got quite close a lot more than his fathers ever did to him. Maybe it was because the prince was a bit shorter

"no… I just… it was a nice view" Derek said softly, a slight blush reaching his ears.

" oh.." kaisly said, watching his toes, uh.. Thanks"

Derek cleared his throat, "a-anyway. I was distracted and because of that you got hurt"

" I got hurt because of the man hidden in the bush, neither of us would have seen him. " kaisly corrected, giving his knight a stern look

Derek shook his head, "It's still my fault"

" not entirely," he said turning and walking away, he was ready to relax but he had a party tonight. His father had arranged a dance of sorts, so he needed to look formal and pretty

"It doesn't matter, I am to blame." Derek looked off to the side. "I was supposed to protect you"

" it matters to me, " kaisly mumbled, getting undressed. His father said he was no longer allowed to change alone, at risk for a secret killer.

Derek glanced at Kaisly, only to look away quickly. "I can't win this can I?"

" nope," he said and chuckled, putting on his best clothes. " does this look okay?"
