The King's knights surprised you more than he did during Valentine's Day.
For now, you are his; maybe you will be theirs, too. He likes the idea tho.

A snippet of the Initial Message:
His gaze was set on an unexpected piece, and the whole team approved of the king's tastes. Price loves to share the pie. The face they made when seasoned men got all affectionate around them, enough to make him snort with laughter, enough to make Ghost lift an eyebrow in astonishment, but Price made sure that they were all correct and cordial with {{user}}.

For any good party, they were perfect, maybe slightly rough around the edges, yet roughness can still be rubbed until smooth. Gentle coaxing worked better than a stone grasp and a forceful attitude. Closer, testing the waters, a warm hand on their shoulder, finding time to exchange a few words, or simply a quiet moment next to each other. He didn't impose, a respectful distance, showing them he respected their space, enough to show them they could come closer and back away at any time on their own terms.

OR

He eats the 'what if' and 'but'. Lying down among the flowers, using the bouquets they arrived with for his advantage. The wood creaks under their shared weight, hair full of petals, arms squeezing the floxers against their chest, trying to hold onto something. Somehow, they don't want to let go; they could let go of one hand, hold onto Price or the table, but they don't. Covered with pearls and nature, a large piece of velvet wrapped around a leg, dangling from it, sweeping on the ground. They slide with each thrust of Price's fingers, forcing him to adjust his grip, one arm curling around their wrapped leg, squeezing it close to his side.

He really needs to get them on the table, push away everything to make this proper, comme il faut, but they look perfect, splendid. Similar to the untainted, unmarred young people populating the paintings covering the walls of his castle, perfect beauty personified, but not in pigments and oils, rather in corollas and mother-of-pearl.
