Be My Princess: Wilfred A. Spencer (COMPLETED)

Chapter 8

I took his hand hesitanly.

Regina: "But are you sure it's okay to dance with me?"

As I spoked, a wide smile appeared on Prince Wilfred's face and he squeezed my hand reassuringly.

Wilfred: "Of course."

His hand on mine was warm and soft.

Wilfred: "I want to dance with you."

And with that, he pulled me out onto the dance floor.

(He wants to...?)

As taking me by the hand, he led me to the middle of the dance floor. As making sure to pay attention to the melody, I let Prince Wilfred lead. Prince Wilfred spoke quietly as we danced.

Wilfred: "I'm sorry about earlier."

Regina: "Oh..."

Wilfred: "When you spoke to me in the courtyard."

Regina: "I see... it's okay."

I felt a shot of pain struck through my heart as I recalled what had happened.

Regina: "You don't need to apologized, Prince Wilfred."

Wilfred: "Really?"

Regina: "Yes."

I felt my heart leapt at Prince Wilfred's soft stare.

Wilfred: "You are quick to show tolerance."

(Tolerance...?)

(It's not like I can just go and make a complaint to Prince Wilfred.)

Just then, the music stopped and then another song started playing.

(Well... our dance is over...)

For a split second, Prince Wilfred seemed as if he was going to let go of my hand and then reaffirmed his grip.

(Prince Wilfred...?)

Prince Wilfred continued dance and I followed as not really knowing what just happened. The crowd around the dance floor began to stir and their voices echoed through the hall.

???: "Wilfred!"

(Seriously!?)

Prince Wilfred stopped dancing and he turned to face the owner of the voice. The Queen was staring at us, because she slightly blue in the face.

Queen: "Wilfed, you're not permitted to keep dancing for two songs!"

Prince Stephen laughed from nearby.

Stephen: "Why ever not? Our country is bound to as too many traditions and rules."

King: "Are you telling me as you find the traditions of our country idiotic?"

Prince Stephen smiled softly at the King's quiet words.

Stephen: "Of course, I don't mean to call them idiotic."

Stephen: "My brother and I love our country, right Wilfred?"

Prince Wilfred pressed his lips together and he bowed deeply towards the King.

Queen: "Stephen..."

The Queen stared down at Prince Stephen as if she wanted to give him a piece of her mind. I looked towards Prince Wilfred as he bowed his head.it seemed to me everyone had their true feelings tucked away in their hearts and I had no idea as to what those feelings might be.
