Be My Princess: Wilfred A. Spencer (COMPLETED)

(Sequel) Chapter 5

The plane was going up in flames before my eyes. Prince Wilfred was run into the flaming wreck to save a little boy. But I couldn't bring myself to accept that truth... all of the while, I'm trying to shake cause of Claude's hold on me.

Regina: "Wilfred! Let go of me! Wilfred's in there...!"

But Claude held on me with all his strength.

Claude: "I won't! The flames are only growing hotter...!"

Claude: "To go in there now would be suicide!"

Regina: "But still...!"

My legs buckled beneath me and I found myself on the ground. I felt a kind hand rest on my head.

(Oh...)

Claude: "Nothing bad will happen to His Highness. It's not possible."

I turned my face upwards to see Claude staring kindly down at me.

Regina: "Claude..."

He stroked my hair softly before he turning away from me.

Claude: "I need to go, but you must wait here for me. Understood?"

And with that, I nodded my head when Claude ran towards the plane.

Regina: "Oh..."

(No... not Claude too...)

I don't know about how long were I waited. But I finally saw dark shapes emerge from within the plane.

(Is that... Wilfred!?)

I watched with bated breath before recognizing it to be Prince Wilfred carrying a child. Then I spotted Claude coming up behind his blackened form.

Regina: "Oh..."

(I-Is it really him?)

I started to run to him but the small boy's parents were the first.

Man: "You braved those flames..."

The father spoke as he took the young boy from Prince Wilfred's arms. He seemed to realize something looking at Prince Wilfred's face.

Man: "Wait, are you...?"

Prince Wilfred smiled for a moment... before his expression grew serious again and he spoke.

Wilfred: "You should get him to the hospital. It could be dangerous."

Woman: "Yes, of course!"

Man: "Thank you so much."

The family were about to leave when Claude whispered to them.

Claude: "We can't afford any fuss to be made over this event. Please keep it secret."

The two of them looked as if they wished to say something... but the young boy looked to be in pain and they hurried away. Prince Wilfred watched them go with a sigh of relief and he turned his attention to me. He walked slowly in my direction before he flinging his arms around me. He held me tight as if he trying to make sure I was really there.

Wilfred: "Regina..."

Regina: "Wilfred... oh, Wilfred..."

I felt hot tears spilled from my eyes as he whispered to me.

Wilfred: "I'm sorry to have worried you."

Regina: "Why did you risk about your life like that?"
