Princess Florence POV:
Nakia aids me down for breakfast, but I could not help but notice the missing presence at the table.
"Where is the Prince?"
"He went for a morning stroll" His Papa answered.
"Oh" I hum
"But, he has left you something in the library. He said you would enjoy it"
"Did he?" I look up and smile
~
I hope my way around the castle. The art that littered the walls. The gold and Diamonds shone at anything who dare look.
The library had walls of books. I glance over to the fireplace and Hibiscus flowers sat in a bouquet on the chair.
I smile and pick up the note he had left for me.
NOTE:
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes...
- Lord Byron
END NOTE
I bite my lip and pick a flower. "I knew it" I whisper to myself.

When the Prince walks back into the castle I hug him.
"Whatever is this for?" He mumbled, uncomfortably
"Do not act as if you do not know! I found your gift"
"Gift? What are you on about?"
"Your flowers and note?"
"I have no clue what you are talking about"
I show him the note and he takes it from my hands. "That is not my handwriting. In fact, it is my fathers"
"Your fathers? Why would he send me a letter?"
"He is trying to meddle things. Make it seem as if I left you these things"
"Oh" I mumble
"Are you...disappointed?" He asks
"No, I-I simply do not enjoy being misled." I sniffle.
"Would you like me to get you flowers? I will if you would like"
"No, it is fine" I try to walk away but he takes my hand.
"I too do not like being misled" He whispered, guiding my face to his gaze. "Tell me what is the matter"
"I do wish...just a small bit that you were the one to get me flowers"
He pursed his lips together and let go of my chin. "I must speak with my father"
I watch as he walks away and I couldn't help but feel silly. He knew I didn't hate him because of how foolish I was about those silly flowers. He can tease me and I will be vulnerable.

Prince James POV:
"Will you and William stop your meddling?"
My father turns around and looks at me confused.
"The note and flowers to the Princess? I wish for you two to stop"
"I am helping you. You will marry her whether you agree with it or not. I thought I would help you two along"
I hated that. I never had a choice of fun or anything I would enjoy doing.
