A Princess of Wales' story

40 i

Next day , Diana and Faith found themselves in the music room allowing them to enjoy some mother daughter time. Faith sat at the grand piano, her fingers moving across the keys serenely, producing a soothing music piece. Diana listened to her daughters music  enjoying the play with her eyes closed.As the last note is being played Diana opened her eyes and Faith smiled.

"How was that mummy?" Faith asked, her voice curious.

"Absolutely beautiful darling. You play better than everyone in our family" Diana replied softly, her voice filled with warmth.

"Not better than you mummy." Faith chuckles knowing she cannot surpass her mum's talent ever.

Meanwhile William arrives and hearing music coming from upstairs, William immediately knows it's his sister. With a mischievous smirk he sneak away and make his way upstairs to the music room. Faith is so engrossed talking to Diana  that she doesn't notice William's approach until he's right behind her. With a playful grin, he covers her eyes.

Diana chuckles at William's antics, turning to see what's going on. "guess who honey?" Diana decide to play along.

Faith caught off guard let out a giggle, recognising its one of her brother's touch. "Hmm.. let me think. is it... Prince Charming ?"

William laughs, removing his hand from Faith's eyes. "Spot on" he replies with a grin, ruffling her hair " it's me aka the favorite big bro."

Faith turned around immediately, exclaiming "Willyy!!". She enveloped him in a tight hug "Ohh I missed you so much Wills!!

"I missed you too little bunny. I missed you too" Will replied returning the hug warmly. As they break their hug Will took a few more seconds to look at faith . "Are you feeling okay trouble maker? mum told me you were  feeling tired last night and went to bed early." He asks, his protective instincts kicking in.

"Oh I'm okay and in one piece" Faith replies flexing her bicep playfully ." Mummy's just worrying too much" William rolls his eyes ,shaking his head. 

"It's true though, isn't it? its natural mummy always worry about you" he teased. "You were quite the menace even as a toddler. The only time we had peace was when you were a baby who could only blabber and giggle."

Faith pouted, crossing her arms. "Hey, I was not that bad!" she protested, feigning offense.Diana laughed at their banter, enjoying the lighthearted moment with her children."Oh, you were definitely a handful, darling, alway keeping us on our toes" she chimed in, teasingly.

Faith sighed dramatically, rolling her eyes at her mother's confirmation of her mischievous past. "Well, I suppose I had to keep you all on your toes, to make life interesting for you all " she admitted with a playful smirk, unable to hide the twinkle of mischief in her own eyes.

"Oh you certainly did" William's laughter bubbled up as he recalled one particularly memorable incident. "Do you remember that time when we came home from that engagement, and you had painted the whole living room with your paint set?" he asked, a playful twinkle in his eye as he glanced at Hope.

Hope's cheeks flushed with embarrassment at the memory, but she couldn't help but chuckle along with her brother. "How could I forget?" she replied sheepishly. "Papa's reaction was priceless."

Diana joined in with a fond smile, remembering the chaos that had ensued. "And let's not forget the time when Faith decided to give herself a haircut," she teased, her voice tinged with affection. 

"I thought your papa was going to cry when he saw the mess she had made."

Faith's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she remembered the disastrous haircut she had attempted as a child. "Oh, don't remind me," she groaned, hiding her face in her hands. " I thought I could be my own stylist."William chuckled at the memory."You have no idea how embarrassed I was to take her outside with us," he admitted with a sheepish grin. "I thought everyone would think we were raising a little wild child." Faith couldn't help but laugh at her brother's confession, her embarrassment fading as she joined in the lighthearted banter. "Hey, I was just experimenting with my hair cutting talents," she protested with a playful wink. "Who knew hair could be so difficult to cut?"

As Charles entered the room, the atmosphere became even livelier, with Faith rushing to greet him with a mischievous glint in her eyes."Papa!" she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug. "You won't believe what William's been saying about me!"Charles chuckled, returning his daughter's embrace warmly. "Oh, dear, what has he been up to now?" he asked with a playful smile, knowing all too well the dynamic between his children.Faith pulled away from the hug, her expression exaggerated with mock offense. "He's mocking me Papa," she complained, sticking out her bottom lip in an exaggerated pout.

William rolled his eyes with a smirk, knowing full well that Faith was playing up the situation for dramatic effect. "Oh, come on, Faith," he teased, nudging her playfully."You know I'm just telling the truth."

Faith couldn't resist playing along with her brother's teasing, her lips forming a pout as she pretended to wipe away imaginary tears.

"Oh, William, how could you?" she exclaimed, her voice wavering as she feigned sadness. "I thought you were my favorite brother!".

"Oh, come on, Honey" he said, reaching out to pull her into a gentle hug."You know I'm just teasing. I love you even though you grace us with your dramas every day, dramaqueen " he smirk earning a push from Faith.

"no seriously !it's Never a dull moment with you Fay and I wouldn't have it any other way" this time William gave in earning a smile from faith.

As they enjoyed their quiet evening together, Faith turned to her brother with a curious expression. "Will, didn't Catherine come with you?" she asked, a hint of concern in her voice. "I thought she would be here by now."

William smiled reassuringly at his sister. "Catherine is on her way, Faith . She had to make a stop to meet with the wedding planner," he explained. "She should be arriving soon, and she's very excited to see you."

Faith's face brightened at the mention of her brother's fiancée. "Oh, that's wonderful!" she exclaimed. "I can't wait to see her. I've missed her so much."
