theleiaskywalker: nikolina appreciation week 2020 ♛ [day 7: royalty au] “Today Genya asked me to accompany her to the Astronomy Tower. I didn’t want to go first, but it’s better than sitting in my room, waiting for the letter to arrive, that the war is over and I can go home. With each passing day I miss the old palace more and more. I should be glad that they took me in and I try as hard as possible, but it is not my home. Genya thinks I’m only sad about the damage they done to the region, the losses, the injured and the people who still at this moment fight for our freedom and I hope she will never find out the truth.The Astronomy Tower was new, they only built it a few years ago and it showed: everything was bright and new, no sign of any dust. It had many objects and machines I haven’t seen before and I wanted to go and take a closer look, but I met a pair of familiar eyes, shining even brighter in the sunlight.I did not expect to see Prince Nikolai up here. He only arrived last week, injured in the war. He was bedridden, but kept sneaking out of his room. That’s how we met, on a sleepless night, when I decided to wander in palace. Both of his hands were still bandaged, but that didn’t stop him to work on something with David. Once they noticed us Genya embraced her husband, who grabbed her hand and lead her to the other side of the room, to show her something incredible. I stood there as Genya glanced back apologetically, while Prince Nikolai slowly approached me with a smile.” -- source link
