Royal bloodline

Everyone could not believe their eyes. How? How did this happen? 

Duke Henrys slowly rose from the ground. His body started trembling.

"P-p-princess Beatrice?!" the duke stammered out when he recognised that beautiful face that seemed to be untouched by time. 

"It's been a long time, Henrys." Beatrice's cool voice sounded as she stared down at the duke with a tinge of nostalgia in her eyes. The duke fell to his knees and started to cry at Beatrice's foot. 

"Y-you're really… alive… Your Highness!" The duke cried out, completely shaken. "Please tell me this is real, that you're indeed real and alive, princess." 

"I am real, Henrys." Beatrice declared and the edges of her lips curled up in a smile.
