Be My Princess: Wilfred A. Spencer (COMPLETED)

(Princess Sequel) Chapter 4

Claude: "Lady Regina... how are you feeling now?"

Regina: "I'm fine now, thank you."

The day after my collapse at the party. I was having a breakfast in the bed, which mean... Claude had been kind enough to bring.

Regina: "So... what's everyone doing now?"

Claude: "The relatives all recently departed."

Regina: "I see... I can't imagine they view me favorably now..."

I murmured as slumping my shoulders in place and Claude looked right at me.

Claude: "I wouldn't say that."

Claude: "Prince Wilfred has been covering for you in this matter."

Claude: "And more to the point, your relatives are all concerned about your health."

Regina: "Ah..."

I felt relieved after how much I'd feared them mocking me back my back while I was in the bed.

(I must have been overthinking things...)

Claude: "Here, drink this now that you've had your meal."

Claude: "If anything troubles you, don't hesitate to call for me."

Claude left me some medicine and departed with a gentle smile.

(For now, I'd better focus on recovery... I want to help Wilfred.)

I thought to myself as I lay back in the bed and I gazing up at the ceiling.

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

After some time had passed.

Wilfred: "How're you holding up?"

Prince WIlfred came to pay me a visit between his own duties.

Regina: "I'm feeling much better now. Sorry for all of this..."

Wilfred: "You don't need to apologize."

He said and he planting a kiss on my forehead.

Wilfred: "I'm the one at fault here."

Wilfred: "I dumped everything your lap and I made you run in circles."

His sympathetic gaze made me feel a twinge.

Regina: "Don't say that... but you've had a lot on your plate too."

Wilfred: "No... I'm fine. And right now I'd rather you put your health first."

His lips descended upon me once more. I smiled fondly at the warmth I felt from them.

Wilfred: "Today, I want you to rest up and take it easy."

Regina: "Okay."

Finally, the medicine I'd just taken seemed to kick in. I fell asleep under the watchful eye of my beloved husband.

The next morning.

Regina: "Ngh...!"

I woke up as feeling refreshed and I gave a luxurious stretch of my body.

(Yup, I'm feeling better now.)

(Maybe it was sleep deprivation that caused me to feel ill...)

I looked around in a pleasant mood and I saw that Prince Wilfred wasn't here. The tea on my bedside table was still steaming.
