The princess cleared her throat, an old habit of hers whenever she'd tried to regain some decorum after losing face, and she tried to recover that polite yet mild smile. But her embarrassment remained palpable to anyone. Pink stained her cheeks, that blossomed from excitement working in tandem with her now flustered state. Just as she was about to utter a string of apologies for her disgraceful behavior, she quickly closed her lips.

She was not in the court filled with nobles who possessed tongues far sharper than any sword. Rather, she was with Raguna, playing a simple game by the shooting gallery. And sure, perhaps she had gotten carried away with her desire to win, but it was all in good fun. So long as she remained outside of the castle, she was no longer bound by the obligations and burdens set by the royal family and nobles.

Her apologies dissolved in her throat. She didn't want to taint this cheery atmosphere.

"I do not know," she finally answered, gently setting the bow down on the countertop. "Though I must confess, it is a rather novel feeling!"

Something she wanted to indulge in more. So she turned to him, raised one finger, and with a wink said:

"Let us play one last game. I have a feeling I will win this one."
