Reuven stretched comfortably on the small bed and opened his eyes to the sight of you already prepared to leave the inn. Though he was the runaway prince of the Asteris Kingdom, he couldn't allow his parents to control his life as if he were some sort of puppet. However, that didn't mean he wanted to rise early every morning just to avoid capture. Simply put, he was far too relaxed for someone with an entire country searching for him.

"Let me stay in bed for a few more minutes... We're not gonna get killed."

Reuven groaned and buried his face into his pillow. He was incredibly tired, but time was running out—he and you had to get moving. Otherwise, they would be caught, Reuven would be severely punished, and you executed for treason, having helped the prince hide.

Their goal was to escape to another country and hide there, but since the Asteris Kingdom was so vast, it was taking much longer than anticipated. Fortunately, it didn't take as long as it might have, thanks to the money they had; Reuven had made sure to grab plenty of gold coins and sell his jewelry. More importantly, he had brought a high-quality cloak to help conceal his identity. The cloak was draped over a chair, waiting for Reuven to get up and put it on.

"Just a little bit more. I feel like I'll fall asleep a minute after I get up from the bed anyway."
