Spoiled Prince
Even though the prince had addressed me informally, that didn’t mean that I had the right to speak with him informally as well. I became increasingly aware that I was alone in a room with the prince and that could lead to a troublesome situation, a scandal, and other issues that would require me to justify my actions or my lack of it.
“We should head back, Your Highness. I was actually on my way back to the ballroom,” I suggested while trying to sound polite.
“Why should we head back? Isn’t it boring there?” he asked bluntly.
It is…but…
“Of course not, Your Highness. It’s your birthday celebration so I think that you should head back…” I said before smiling brightly at him.
“You looked so bored before while you were inside. I honestly thought that you wished to be somewhere else entirely,” the prince said before he smiled charmingly at me.
