The day after the Prince's birthday, Riku attended all the meetings he needed to with his Beloved, and then went and found his brother. Sora was working so hard on the upcoming fight, Riku just felt like he needed to be productive too. And what better thing to focus on, than gaining his and his sister's freedom?
Riku started out his days having breakfast with the Prince and his family, followed by meetings. An hour or two of lessons until lunch, but then the Prince was busy with other things. And Riku dismissed the guards, went and changed his clothes, and slipped into the Trabia camp. He looked just like them, no one even asked any questions.
As fighting approached, there was more work to do, less time for the soldiers to do it, and a high demand for servants. For someone like Riku to make some extra money by hauling water, chopping and carrying wood, tending horses, mending saddles and horse tackle, polishing shoes, fashioning arrows, and every kind of chore.
Riku sometimes missed dinner, instead grabbing something in the Trabian camp, and wandered back to his room after changing back, took a bath, and fell asleep like the dead next to the Prince or before he even came to bed.
But his little pile of coins in his dresser with his clothing was slowly growing.
