Marry me

it's a few days to the day Prince Luka's curse would be broken. As a 5 year old girl who's now 21, she's able to understand Prince Luka very well. Meanwhile, Prince Damien has been admiring her. Everything she did was perfect to him. So he planned on asking her out which she happily accepted because she really wanted to leave the palace. He took her to a beautiful hill full of her favourite flower, white rose.

" thank you, Prince Damien for bringing me out here. I really missed going outside."

" no problem Aera, I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do as a thank you gift for helping my brother" he said grinning

" I never knew there were places like this, full of white roses"

" it's a special place Aera. I come here when I feel a little down."

" so you love white roses too?" Aera asked

" my favourite"

" mine too. I guess we have a lot in common then" Aera said and giggled . She picked up a rose and placed it in his hands" my mom told me that white roses meant peace and love. This is a sign of peace between you and me, Prince Damien"

" Aera, there is something I need to tell you."

" I'm all ears my prince "

" I really..." Prince Damien started but was interrupted by Liam

" Prince Damien, Luka is missing again"

" where could he be?"Damien asked

" I have no idea, my prince " Liam said

" I think I do . He's in the palace so there's nothing to fear" Aera said" so what did you want to tell me Prince Damien?"

" Uh.. right. I...yeah. um..."

" I understand. When your able to tell me I'll be there to listen. For now, it'll be best if we leave to fund Prince Luka" Aera said taking Prince Damiens hand in hers, giving him butterflies.

In the palace, They eventually found Prince Luka in the music room after searching for him for almost 2 hours. It turns out Aera did not really know where he was. After Aera played with Prince Luka, Prince Damien called her to tell her the same thing he wanted to say to her when they went out.

" Prince Damien?" Aera asked peeking into his room

" Aera?, please come in"

" thank you. I heard you wanted to speak to me"

" Yes... the thing is ... I really like you Aera. in fact I love you and I want to marry you. I can't see you without losing my mind. Whenever you hold my hand, I can't help but fall harder . You keep giving me butterflies no matter how much I try to tell myself your just a guardian" He said holding her hand and looking deeply into her eyes

" my..."

" I know you may not have an answer now but I'll wait. Please marry me, Aera." Prince Damien said cupping her cheeks

" Prince Damien, I don't...know what to say"

" you have time to think. I won't force you"

" what if I said I loved someone else"

" ...." He just kept staring lovingly into her eyes

" I have to go" Aera said pushed him slightly and ran away to Prince Luka's room

" Aera, what is it?" Luka asked pretending he did not know. He was eavesdropping on their conversation

" nothing, I just... he loves me" She managed to say

" do you?" Luka asked

" do I?.. I don't know Luka. I think I love someone else"

" who's the person?" Luka asked curiously

" what if I said the person I love is you" Aera said as Luka just blushed hard

" you really like what if"

" Luka, I love you not Damien but I'm afraid you'll never be a man again. You just seem to understand me a lot and I can't be with someone I'm not happy with "

" so you really love me huh?"

" yeah?"

" well its evening, so I better go to bed so my brother doesn't have to stress himself today"

" alright, Good night Prince Luka" Aera said pecked him on his cheeks and left

" I love you too" Luka whispered and drifted off to sleep. In the midnight, Luka was still asleep when he started feeling nauseous. Then as he tried to stand he fell back feeling a sharp pain in his chest. He felt like his heart was on fire, it was beating rapidly like it was trying to get bigger in his chest. He suddenly became bigger than the bed he was on. As he got up to take a glass of water he noticed his hands were bigger , then he look at himself on his mirror and saw he's now the Luka he used to be before he was turned into a five year old.

" oh my God , I'm big again" He yelled excitedly then closed his mouth immediately with his hands not to wake anyone up. He looked at the bed he was and saw it was too small so he decided to change into something more appropriate for an adult and go to Aera's room . But sneaking out without getting noticed was harder than he thought.
