'Cause I was gonna be your forever
You were gonna be my wife

"Come on, Kronos." She mumbled as she slipped from her room and out into Palace Hallway. The Princess's faithful Rottweiler followed her from the room, sticking close to her side as the pair moved quietly through the halls. The Princess of Jutthiem crept through the halls, she wore a dark emerald green dress and a black cloak, she wore her usual black shoes as she managed to sneak out of the Palace using an old Servant's Tunnel. Edith Agatha Hart snuck along the tunnel, keeping as quiet as she could so not to draw attention to herself.
Edith paused briefly upon hearing what she thought was footsteps. The Black and Tan dog remained close to her side, but no growling noise or even seemed alert to what she thought she heard. She continued down the tunnel, moving quicker now as she went. She could now hear voices coming from the way she had just come and multiple heavy boot steps. Her usual black shoes had an inch heel to them, making her running much more pronounced and very difficult to do. "Freeze!" "Stop!" The voices yelled as she ran, the Rottweiler stuck close to her side, running beside her. She emerged from the tunnel, and then sprinted for the Stables. The Princess paused briefly at her mare's stall door before passing it and instead grabbing the bridle of her betrothed's stallion. She worked quickly getting the bridle on, and clamoring up onto the large stallion's back before urging the Stallion out of the Stable. The King's Guards moved to try and stop the horse but she urged the stallion forward, forcing the men aside. She urged the stallion into a gallop as she could hear the men yelling to close the Palace Gate. "Kronos, with me!" She snapped, and heard the familiar woof of her companion as they escaped the Palace and head for the Everdeen Forest.
She slowed, leading the stallion away from the trade route, and deeper into the thickets. Edith moved further into the forest. She paused as she heard the thundering of hooves, and watched from the shadows as about a dozen Knights and Guards rode passed. She froze. They were searching for her. She had to find him.... had to find the man who held her heart, at least let him know her true feelings.... before she went back to the Palace to be married off to the Prince from the neighboring Kingdom of Hardome. Only problem with her plan. Her father's Guards and Knights were not supposed to know about her disappearance until dawn... but somehow they had been alerted. Which would make finding him that much harder.
The man (y/c) who held Edith's heart had been part of the King's Guard, but had been sent out a few days prior. She did not know where he had been sent but she figured he had been sent to one of the small towns on the border that had been causing all kinds of trouble. She spurred the Stallion to keep moving, and she trudged along until she came to a stream. She climbed off the large stallion and sat quietly on a fallen tree, where the Rottweiler sat, his head in her lap. The dog was a companion she had for the past three years, a gift from her Betrothed's Parents to her on her 18th birthday. She had named him Kronos, and he had become her faithful companion always following her around, and the Guards even trained him to be a Protection Dog for her so she was safe no matter were she was. He followed her into pretty much everywhere. Any meeting she was in, he went with her. He sat beside her at dinner, and even met her husband-to-be with her upon his arrival. However, Edith wanted to find (y/c). She wanted to find him and at least tell him how she felt about him. To be honest she loved him and she wanted to tell him before she ended up being married. She knew she needed to be at the ball that announced her fiancé's arrival which would mean she had two days before she had to be back at the Palace.... and she frankly didn't want to go back.... but knew she had to.
So my Character and yours have known each other for pretty much their entire lives. He started as a servant (or he could have been a son of a guard or knight whatever) and became a Guard. They have tried to not show their feelings to each other. But they have a shared one kiss, that the Head Guard caught them and promptly removed (y/c) from the area and did not let him anywhere near Edith. However, the pair snuck out to spend time, and never talked about the kiss nor acted on their feelings again. Edith was betrothed to a Prince, and y/c was furious as he was hoping to try for her hand, despite the Class Difference. Y/C ended up expressing his feelings towards Edith, however due to Guards coming down the hall the pair had to separate and move away. Within a few hours Y/C had ended up being shipped to a town on the southern most border.
Edith (M/C), after meeting her Fiancé, has escaped the castle to tell Y/C her true feelings as she does not want to marry the Prince her Parents picked out. Y/C finds out M/C disappeared in the middle of the night as word travels fast in the kingdom, and leaves his post to join the search for the Princess. He ends up finding the Princess, and even contemplates running off with her after she expresses why she left. The pair, however, end up going back to the Palace. Where Y/C is accused of Kidnapping the Princess to cause a panic and Edith's Betrothed (Y/C) is furious and demands punishment, but Edith begs that Y/C gets a lenient punishment as he did not kidnap her, but found her. She left on her own accord.
Eventually they get rid of the Prince, but then have all kinds of problems with the fact that he is not royalty and even though he is asking for her hand, her parents are not accepting.

I was thinking that you could play both the Prince (Betrothed to Edith) and the Guard (Edith's Love). I would play both her parents, and multiple side characters :) I was thinking the Prince could be brash, rude, and arrogant and just really mean but tries to charm Edith despite his attitude.
