Be My Princess: Wilfred A. Spencer (COMPLETED)

(Princess Sequel) Chapter 4

(Was that Claude?)

I smiled to myself and I reached for the TV remote. Then...

Reporter: "We have some wonderful news for you today."

Reporter: "By all accounts, Princess Regina is pregnant."

Regina: "!?"

(What!? What did they just...!?)

Reporter: "I repeat, Princess Regina is pregnant."

Reporter: "It's due to this matter..."

Reporter: "That Princess Regina is currently resting in Philip Castle."

(BWAAAAAH!?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Several hours later. Prince Wilfred and Claude were in my room.

Regina: "But, what led to that report...?"

I was still confused and Prince Wilfred gave a light chuckle.

Wilfred: "What indeed?"

Regina: "Come on, Wilfred... it's not funny."

Wilfred: "Oh... sorry. I just found it to be a rather delightful report."

As we talked back and forth, Claude quietly with his head bowed and his expression gave.

Claude: "I'm terribly sorry. I couldn't begin to say where that report originated..."

Wilfred: "It's not hard to guess. I bet our family reunion had something to do with it."

Regina: "Wait what?"

Wilfred: "Otherwise, how would word have gotten out so fast?"

Wilfred: "Oh of our relatives leaked word that you collapsed the night before last."

Wilfred: "It's pretty easy to connect the dots from there."

Claude: "That would explain all of this."

Claude: "And all of those relatives saw Lady Regina..."

(Oh... that's why I am angry...)

I fretted and Prince Wilfred raised his eyebrows.

Wilfred: "Did something happen?"

(Maybe I should be forthright about this...)

Regina: "Actually, last night..."

I hesitantly told them about the events of the other day. Prince Wilfred listened to my words with a serious expression.

Wilfred: "Do you think... perhaps that caused your collapse?"

Regina: "No, I don't think so... but not really..."

(Though it might have contributed a little bit...)

Claude: "Claude, did you know about this?"

Claude looked up sharply when addressed.

Claude: "Yes, sir. I just happened to spot it at the time."

Claude: "I apologize for not reporting it sooner."

Wilfred: "It's fine... you may leave for today."

Claude: "Yes, sir. Good day to you both."

Claude left the room.

Wilfred: "Honestly... you're always so quick to take these things upon yourself."
