Be My Princess: Wilfred A. Spencer (COMPLETED)

Chapter 15

Wilfred: "I must ask you if you can continue to look after Regina for me?"

We had escaped from the paparazzi and we returned to the castle. Prince Wilfred had brought me back here.

Zain: "Yes, of course."

Prince Wilfred nodded towards Zain and then he gave me a pat on the head.

Wilfred: "I will definitely come back for you."

Regina: "Really?"

I raised my head and I was met by Prince Wilfred's smiling face.

Wilfred: "Trust me."

Regina: "Prince Wilfred."

Wilfred: "And don't be sad while I'm gone."

I smiled at him automatically and he held my cheek softly in his hand.

Wilfred: "Well... maybe I want you to feel a little bit sad."

He laughed wholeheartedly at his own words. I started to feel a bit shy and I lowered my eyes when Claude came into the room.

Claude: "Your Highness."

Prince Wilfred lowered his hand and he looked towards Claude with a blank expression on his face.

Wilfred: "Okay, and the car?"

I was startled by his expression and I continued to stare at him.

Claude: "Waiting for us from outside the front door."

Wilfred: "I see."

As with that, Prince turned away from and he started walking.

(Perhaps he will always be beyond my reach. A royal prince...)

As I watched him leave all of my sad emotions started to come back to me.

(But he told me to trust him and I want to trust him.)

Just then, Claude approached me.

Claude: "Miss Regina..."

Regina: "Y-Yes...?"

In a flash, he withdrew something that looked like a coin.

Claude: "Take this."

I accept the object and I saw it was a Philipian gold coin attached to a keychain.

Regina: "Oh, what's this?"

Claude: "It's a happiness charm. They are popular with the people of Philip."

Regina: "A happiness charm?"

I whispered as I looked down at the charm in my hand.

Claude: "Yes Miss Regina. I hope your wishes come true."

Claude's sincerity warmed my heart.

Regina: "Claude..."

Wilfred: "Claude!!"

Claude and I startled because Prince Wilfred who yelled to called of him.

Claude: "Y-Yes! Well, please excuse me for now..."

Claude bowed to me when he ran after Prince Wilfred. The key holder I held in my hand... seemed filled with warmth and kindess.
