[Scene opens in the castle kitchens]

[SFX: Bustling and baking]

[You’re darting about the kitchen to keep up on the immense amount of foods being ordered. The heat is immense, but it doesn’t appear to deter the young man meandering about at his own leisure]

[Pause!]

[He pauses as you call out to him and smiles pleasantly]

“Good evening, Cook. Hm? I need to leave? And why is that?”

[Pause]

[His smile doesn’t waver]

“Do you not know who I am, sweetling? Perhaps I need to introduce myself properly.”

[He makes a grandiose bow]

“I am Prince-”.

[Pause!]

[He seems taken aback as you tell him to get out once more]

“...You do not care who I am, I still need to leave? Aha… You are rather rude, you know that? Why should I leave part of my own home, hm?”

[You try to gesture to a pot of boiling blood next to him as it hisses. He sees it, scoffs and reaches for the lid]

“Pff, please. Prince Beau of the Seven is not scared of some hissing pot. If you’re that worried about it then perhaps we need to relocate you to another area of the castle, hm? Ah! Damnit, that is hot… Why does blood always boil so messily? Listen to me, Cook, if you please. I wanted to speak with you.”

[Pause???]

“Yes. You, specifically… I’ve an important task to complete tonight and I need you to help me with it.”

[Pause]

“Darling, I do not care if it is just you in here right n-... wait. It’s just you in here right now? Where in the seven Hells did the others go?”

[Pause…]

[Beau shakes his head with a smile and grabs an abandoned apron]

“Fine, fine, your mother didn’t raise a snitch. Even if the staff wanted to go out and join the festivities, which I know is what happened here, by the way. Let me put on this apron and direct me.”

[Pause???]

“Yes, I am a Prince. That means I can choose what to do with my time, and I wish to spend my time with you. If we can’t speak in peace, then we can speak while we keep this beast of a kitchen under control. Now, what would you like me to do, Cook?”

[Hesitant, you direct him about. Beau keeps up alright and never seems to be annoyed, though he is very obviously focused on you and not the food]

“There we are. Everything is simmering or resting in the ovens. What is left, hm? Oh, rolling dough. That’s always fun, yes?”

[Pause]

“It’s fine, darling… I’ll just stand behind you, like this, and we can roll it together…alright?”

[His presence moves closer and your cheeks heat up as you roll the dough together]

“...Are you alright, sweetling? You’re shaking…”

[Pause]

“Hmm? Am I making you uncomfortable? Speak your truth, dear, I will not punish you for it.”

[...]

“I see… You’re in love with someone already. Hmm. He sounds very fortunate.”

[Pause]

“Oh, you haven’t seen him in many years… How sad. You must love him greatly to stay so loyal after all of this time…”

[Pause]

“... I can guess… No, that’s enough. I know he’s never stopped loving you either, Cook. I know you’re all he’s dreamed of, all he’s taken any pleasure from imagining.”

[Pause?]

“Turn to me. Please.”

[Beau wraps his arms around your waist and draws you close as you do, eyes a touch wild with desire]

“... Do you truly not recognize me, Cook? My voice? I know I disguised it before, disguised myself before, but it is still me.”

[...?]

“Yes… I was the thief that tumbled in here many years ago to steal a pie. You beat me silly with your rolling pin but… let me eat after I told you I was but a poor beggar. You helped me bring the excess food to the poor, over and over throughout the years. I’ve longed… I-I’ve loved you… for so long now, and I’m sorry I couldn’t reveal myself… I was going against the law at that time.”

[...]

[Beau smiles, tears welling in his eyes]

“It is me, yes… I’m so sorry I had to vanish for such a long time. I didn’t want harm to befall you when they investigated, and I’ve watched from afar, aching to be back in your arms. Tonight, I am free. Free to choose my soulmate, and it’s always been you! I’ve longed… I’ve had to “correct” others that have flirted with you inappropriately, I’ve craved your touch, I’ve sketched you in every sketchbook I could fill, I love you so much… I only hope you’ll still have me, my greatest desire. Please…”

[Pause]

“Here, give me your hand… If the Gods have decided we are to be, then it will show the moment you take my hand.”

[You take his hand and a brief pink mist emanates, followed by the roman numeral for 2 or II tracing itself painlessly into your skin]

[SFX: Magical shenanigans]

[Beau lets out a half-sob / half laugh and draws you into a kiss]

“And they have decreed it so… Oh, my love, finally… Finally, I need not to temper my desires from watching from afar, I need not hide… Please… Please join me in my quarters, darling. I’ll ask the other staff to get in here. After all… you gave them more than enough time to enjoy their break…”

[His voice softens even more as he picks you up, Princess style]

“...I think you taking the rest of the night off to appease one of the Princes is… a fair exchange, wouldn’t you say?”

[Pause]

[His voice becomes a touch breathy]

“Oh, love, don’t worry. I will take care of you. You will not be overwhelmed, though I know it will be intense. It’s been half a decade, darling. Please… Do not make me wait any longer.”

[Pause]

[He smiles, eyes glowing a soft red]

“I love you, too. I… I feel so content, so happy, so… alive! Ah… I wonder if my brothers have found their own contentment by now. Ah, we’ll find out in the morning. Come, darling, we’ve need to make up for lost time!”

[He carries you off into the castle, not another word spoken]
