After returning to Queen Raven's castle, Hunter found Raven in her throne room doing some work.
"Queen Snow White is going to send some masons over in a few days," he said while standing before his Queen.
"Good, the scene is already being cleaned and the children have been set up in the guest wing; now we need to talk about the food bank for the fourth district," said Raven without looking away from some paperwork.
"Before that, Princess Apple invited us to her birthday party next Wandsday," said Hunter.
"We can't go, we're too busy trying to fix this country," said Raven while motioning to the stacks of papers sitting on a table.
"Oh please, we can take one day off, and I know you want to go so you can see her again," said Hunter with an eye roll.
"Why would I want to see Princess Apple?" asked Raven who was blushing a little and not meeting eye contact with him.
"Maybe because you have been stalking her on the mirror net since you read that article in Locks Magazine," said Hunter as he gave her a smug smile.
"I have not been stalking her, just looking up pictures that have been posted on the net which are public," said Raven who had gone a deeper shade of red.
"Whatever it is, I know that you have a crush on her, and this is your chance to get closer to her," said Hunter.
"I doubt I could get her to like me back; besides, she's supposed to be marrying that idiot Daring Charming," said Raven with a sad expression.
"You won't know unless you get close enough to her, maybe she herself doesn't like him and has just been waiting for a chance to get out of it," said Hunter.
"Alright, we'll go," said Raven with a sigh.
"But we have to get through all of this before then," said Raven while motioning to the stacks again.
"Then let's get started," said Hunter as he took some of the papers and began to go over them.
