Promises

His lips inches away from mine, they are about to touch. Is this really happening?

"What are you doing?" An innocent and soft voice spoke, making him step back and clear his throat. I turn to see the youngest of my sisters standing there in her small Ball dress, she looks really cute. What am is supposed to say?

"We..." I turn to see Tom, I have no idea what to say. "Your majesty had something in her eyes that was disturbing her so I was checking it" he said nervously and I agreed with his pathetic excuse. Though, Colette seem to don't believe it

"What are you doing here?" I was quick to change the theme, "shouldn't you be in that party?" She is staring at Tom with a smirk, no way. I walk as faster as I could next to her to guide the two of us back to the party

"Is he your boyfriend?" She asked after we left Tom in a good distance in the back. "What? No, he told you I had something in my eye" for more that I want to hide the nervousness in my voice, is impossible. She doesn't believe me. "It's true Colette, nothing is happening between us, believe it" she smirk and rolled her eyes. How can a young girl be this difficult?!

"Well he likes you and you were going to kiss" I know she's daydreaming, she's so mature for her young age. "Okay, yeah, maybe we were going to kiss but don't tell father or Leo or anyone else, can you do that for me?" She lick her lips and made a malicious smile, I asked her what she wants. "All your desserts, for one week, no, no, no, two months" I agreed and we headed back to the party

"How was your walk with your prince?" A familiar voice spoke as he approach to me, Tewksbury. "Thank you for leaving me alone" he giggle and search for Tom. "How did you knew? I thought I was good at acting" he laugh, "well then you should take classes, both of you, cause it's pretty obvious that you both are crazy for the other" he raise his eyebrow and take a sip of his drink

You're gonna be kidding me

"That's the way I look at Enola" and my opportunity to get out of this has arrived. "Your princess" now it's my turn to smirk, he shook his head and take me out to the dance floor again

Is it to obvious? I haven't even notice it until Tewksbury told me that. Am I in love with Tom? His brown shiny eyes are so beautiful and I could stare at them for ever. When he smile I can't contain my self for doing the same. His heart is so pure. H- no y/n, this can't happen. It's impossible. You need to stop thinking on that. What would they say? I don't care what they say. I found what I have read, what I have been searching for. But no, you most be confused. I'm scared, what? No, I'm not, this isn't what you think. This is just a friendship, yeah, just that, nothing more

But, was he going to kiss me? Does he- does he likes me? No it's impossible, right?

"I'm just missing one dance" Leo's voice spoke, taking me out of my thoughts, and he extended his hand for me to take it, "May I have this dance?" I smile and place my hand in his

I love dancing with my brother, and doing this help me forget about Tom's affair

—— ♡ ——

"I see you and Tewksbury have a good relationship" my dad apear from the nothing. I agreed and try to continue with my path to the library. "Unfortunately he leaves tomorrow, and the new candidate arrive in three days" another one? "Look, Tyrell. I know you don't like this but it's for your good" I finally turn to face him

"Mine or yours? Cause I have nothing to do with the kingdom, no one matters if I marry a duque, a prince or a stubborn" I pissed him again, as always. "Why can't I marry someone I love, why can't I fall in love?"

"This is not something in debate" he raise his voice, when he does that is better to run away. I lower my head and apologize. Then made my way to the library to forget about it by getting drown in books

Tom hasn't spoke to me today. He's been following me everywhere, as that's his job, but nether a word has escape his mouth. Maybe his yesterday's action was a mistake or he regret doing it

I haven't spoke to him. I'm afraid that my feelings grow for then be obligated to be with someone else. I prefer to forgot about this. It's better like that

Though, if I marry Louis or Tewksbury I wouldn't be completely mad. They are amazing boys, spending the rest of my life with them wouldn't be the end of the world. But of course I would prefer to spend it with someone I really love and that he really loves me. And I want Tewksbury to be with that mysterious love of his, by how he talks about her and how his eyes shine, she most be amazing and so beautiful

—— ♡ ——

"I guess this is the goodbye for now" Tewksbury said, standing in front of me like a rock. I pull him into a hug and he reacted the same way

"Promise me you'll search her" I commanded and he accepted with a beautiful smile, "and you promise me to tell him" he signal Tom with his eyes, I just look at him. "Promise it" I rolled my eyes but finally accepted

"I'm going to miss you" my voice spoke and his voice said the same at the exact same time. We share a small chuckle before another embrace and he get into his carriage and leave

I hope they find the other

And about Tom, I'm not gonna tell him. It's to risky. I don't want that then they separate us. Or that he get in trouble because of me. Because of being with the princess. That's ridiculous

Now two days to meet the new prince, duque or whatever is going to be

I haven't seen Leo, now he's so busy with his king issues. Tom doesn't even turn to see me. Colette is in lessons almost the whole day. I'm alone. Alone
