Beautiful Soul [Descendants Fanfic]

Ch. 17 You truly are your mother's son

Liam and Ben stepped inside the school building, and they begin to walk through the now empty hallways since classes are in session. Liam looked at his surroundings with curiosity and interest.

" This Castle where we are in got built over 300 years ago," Ben explained while still holding Liam's hand.

" Cool," Liam whispered while nodding his head.

" This Castle is even older than the country itself. What I am saying is that the United States of Auradon became a massive country fifteen years ago," Ben tells Liam.

" Really?" Liam asked while turning his gaze to Ben, thinking that Auradon was much older.

Ben's bright green eyes intently stare at Liam's bright blue eyes.

" Yes," Ben nods his head in response.

" I am surprised to hear Auradon is fifteen years old. How funny is it that the country is the same age as us?" Liam amusingly laughed.

" The country's anniversary is on June 20, seven days before my birthday," Ben amusingly chuckled.

Liam hummed when he hears that the country's anniversary is seven days before Ben's birthday.

' Interesting,' Liam tells himself, finding it intriguing that all the Kingdoms became one massive country before the Crown Prince of the said country was born.

" When is your birthday?" Ben asked, sounding curious since he wanted to get to know Liam.

"July 18," Liam responded.

" That's cool! I'm twenty-one days older than you," Ben kindly smiled.

" Even though you are older than me, I am taller than you," Liam teases while smirking at Ben.

" You are only two inches taller than me," Ben mumbled while a slight blush appears on his cheeks.

" Who would have thought that the Crown Prince is adorable when blushing," Liam continues to tease, causing Ben's cheeks to get a deeper shade of red.

" I am not adorable," Ben firmly speaks to Liam.

Liam wanted to put his hands up in surrender, but his bright blue eyes blinked when he finally realized that Ben is still holding his hand.

" You truly are your mother's son," Liam amusingly speaks.

" What?" Ben asked, looking and sounding confused.

Liam held their joined hands up so that Ben could see.

" I-I," Ben stuttered while quickly pulling his hand away from Liam's.

" I'm sorry," Ben mumbled an apology.

" It's cool. I'm not mad at you or anything. I find it amusing that you are so friendly even though we just met, which I figured you got from your mom since I hear that she is very friendly to those around her," Liam softly smiled as he stops walking to admire a painting of Auradon's royal family.

Ben stared at Liam with mixed emotions as he begins to wonder if Gaston spoke about Queen Belle to his sons.

' Liam must have known what happened since he did mention our parents' past earlier,' Ben tells himself.

" I can see why Dad must have fallen for your Mom," Liam whispered as he stares at Queen Belle, grabbing Ben's attention.

" Dad must have mistaken your mother's kindness for love," Liam confessed, causing Ben to raise an eyebrow.
