Escape from the City
Hanako walked quietly down the empty hallways, her shoes tapping rhythmically on the marble floors. A bag of essentials was slung over her shoulder. Faint clatters and music drifted through the walls from the direction of the great hall. The servants were in the kitchen or serving food so she could probably leave through the servants' back door.
I wonder which family that boy came from. They're probably just some minor nobles. He was kind of interesting.
The princess approached the back gate. The guard let her through easily with a few jewels, though he probably wondered how she'd have gotten them.
She was nearing the Grey Terminal when the bells started clanging. Hanako pulled her hood down lower to cover her face, ducking into a shadowed alleyway as guards started flooding the streets crying that the princess was missing.
The search lasted over 2 hours. Hanako stayed there, sitting down and pulling some food. Finally, the streets were empty and she began walking again.

Hanako stood at the city gates and stared out at the mountains of trash in the Grey Terminal.
I'm free!

Sabo sighed. His father was shouting at a servant again. Ever since the royal ball and subsequently the princess' leaving the city, the man had been in a foul mood and constantly took it out on the servants and sometimes even Sabo himself.
But the princess running away had sparked something in him, causing Sabo to consider running away himself. After all, if royalty could do it, why couldn't he?

Aaaaaand… SHE'S OUT! And Sabo is thinking about it too!
