Princess Maya Dyfe knew that her father did not want her to be outside. He had made it clear enough that she was expected to stay in her room, doing whatever amused her, until he stated otherwise.
Unfortunately for him, what amused Maya was finding ways to sneak out of the palace.
So, of course, Maya was walking down the long hallways of the palace, attired in a simple, flowing white dress, her purposeful steps leading her towards the small servants' tunnel she had found days ago. She was almost certain that this tunnel would lead out of the palace; after all, the servants needed some way to get out. The four tunnels she had previously searched hadn't been what she was looking for, and the servants could only have so many tunnels, right?
Maya pushed a tapestry aside, revealing a small door and quickly slipping through. The tunnel was completely dark, and Maya thrusted her hands out in front of her, groping her way through the darkness. Before long, she reached another door, which opened with a gentle push from the princess.
Harsh sunlight glittered on the other side of the doorway and Maya stepped through gingerly, looking around herself. The girl bit her lip in disappointment once she recognized her surroundings. She wasn't out of the palace, but rather in the small training yard where the knights practiced jousting.
It's a small accomplishment, but it's still something... Maya thought to herself, watching as the two jousting knights clashed their lances against each other. I might as well as just watch them joust for a bit...
