--------------------------------------------------------

High above the ground, with its spiraling stairs and ancient slabs of marble, lies the Astronomy Tower. Imposing, majestic and historical, the sturdy tower seemed to be holding its own secrets, standing solitary below the stars.

Every clear night, moonlight bathes the tower as it rests fitfully under the blankets of the galaxy. Twinkling stars embellished the night sky, providing a view so beautiful that it could rival any fairy tale. A place to just relax, hang out, or even to delve into Agria's mysterious location in the universe, the tower offers its place to everyone, a gentle and silent guardian.

The prince grinned as they neared the tower. One of his favorite places since childhood. He adored the tranquility, the stillness and the mysteries the place holds. He thought about the days when he used to run his hands over the smooth globe.

"Close your eyes. This is a surprise." He told her mysteriously.

Natalia smiled. She put down the plate of chocolates. She walked back over to the prince and closed her eyes. "So, what are you going to show me?" Natalia was very curious.

((can you wait a sec? i need to reply to someone else and it's gonna be long :) ))

((ok.))

The prince smirked. "Just keep walking up these steps and I'll take care of the chocolates." He grabbed the overflowing tray and guided her gently. Up and up they went, the spiraling staircase silent and the only sound were their harmonized breathing and the occasional stumble against the rough stone steps. "Almost there." He said encouragingly at the sight of her discomfort.

Natalia smiled. She continued walking. "Ya know, I don't like not knowing where I'm going," Natalia smirks. 'But, since it's you, I'll make an exception."

"Really?" He quirked his eyebrows. "Not worry that the prince wouldn't kidnap you? That's rather bold of you." He joked as they arrived. "Now open your eyes. Here we are!" He gestured at the old building and its countless maps, its beautiful view and its spherical globes, intricate with mathematical calculations. "What do you think?"

Natalia giggled. "Nope. I mean I wouldn't mind being kidnapped by you," she smirked. Natalia opened her eyes. She was astonished. "Wow! This is so beautiful!"

"Welcome to the Astronomy Tower. Shall we?" He gestured to the tray of chocolates and popped one into his mouth. "This is heavenly, especially eating one so high above the ground. Perfection." He sighed in content.

Natalia smiled. "We shall," she said as she took a chocolate and took a bite. She loved the rich and creamy texture of the chocolate. "Chocolate, a beautiful sight, and, you? That is perfection," Natalia smirked. She took another bite and looked at the prince.

The prince blushed. "Me? I'm nothing." He waved his hands and tried to hide his red face. He couldn't let her see him getting embarrassed over a small compliment.

"What's your favorite kind of chocolate?" He asked after a while.

"You? Nothing? You are everything. You are an amazing friend. You are sweet, caring, and everything a girl would want in a guy. Which ever girl wins will be extra lucky to have you." Natalia smiled. "My favorite kind of chocolate has to be milk chocolate. But my favorite brand is Ferrero Rocher. You?"

((i have to go study for a bit. probably see ya later?))

((yeah. I gtg to bed. continue tomorrow?))

"Whoever that wins? Who do you think would?" He smirked mischievously, trying to discern her thoughts. Meanwhile, he eyed the plate of chocolates blissfully. "You seriously want me to choose, huh? I can't. They're all awesome. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, mint chocolate... I love them all!"

"Personally, I think Dwynwen will win. She is sweet, caring, and very polite." Natalia smiled. Natalia giggled, "I don't like dark chocolate, it has a weird taste to it to me." Natalia was happy.

"Really? That's insulting to chocolate!" The prince pouted. "Okay, so Dwynwen huh? I think I scared her the last time we've met. Reckon I should go apologize or something?" He fingered a small piece of chocolate, twitching awkwardly.

Natalia giggled. "Sorry. It just doesn't do very well with my taste buds. When you do, bring some flowers. She really seems to like flowers. The flowers have to be Gladiouses, her favorite flower," Natalia smiled as she took anothe piece of chocolate.

"Flowers? What's that Gladi--gladious---?" He asked curiously, trying to pronounce the word properly. "Care to show me that flower that starts with a g?" He asked, noting their almost empty plate. "C'mon, after all that food, you need some exercise." He poked her playfully and brushed the crumbs off his suit.

Natalia giggled. "After all this chocolate, you're the one who needs exercise," she joked. She got up and smiled. "'They look like https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...." Natalia brushed the crumbs off her mouth and smirked.

((also, I meant gladioluses))

(( Very Princely when killing flower names 😆))

((XD))

((Hestia 😂))

(( What?? Did I ruin the moment?? 😆))

((No I just think it’s hilarious 🤣))

((Hahah 😂))

He rolled his eyes. "I guess I'll have to go hunt for it then." He sighed. "Okay, I know this is a short date but I've gotta meet the others. And hunt for flowers. All in one day!" He sighed at that thought. "Talk to you later?"

((sorryyy paige, i really need him to spend time with everyone :( ))

(( 😆 hehe))

((It’s kind of funny how many people are stalking the Prince and Natalia 😂))

((ikrrrr... anyways, i'm a idiot at botany as well :) ))

((I knowwww lol <3))

((Haha are you ready for the scene with Dwynwen?))

((come on, guyyysss, i'll bring your lover to youuuu... soon))

((let him go hunt for that flower first. one post at the garden and he'll come. to her room?))

((Perfect))
