Magnum meets the Princess
Lucia is a shy princess when it comes to being surrounded with young men.
On her sixteenth birthday, her father, King Marcus, invited some eligible princes to meet Princess Lucia in person.
Of course...The king got carried away...
King Marcus invites as many eligible royal princes as he could.
The king sends invites to fifty of them.
Prince Magnum came to accept King Marcus' invitation too.
On the day of the princess' birthday, things are not going as the king expects.
Princess Lucia haven't arrived to the throne room.
Magnum noticed the problem.
The redhead prince volunteered to find the missing princess.
Prince Magnum discovers that Princess Lucia was hiding behind the tree.
Lucia was on her knees in the garden, crying in pain.
Magnum feels sorry for the princess.
The redhead prince sat quietly on the other side of the tree.
He made a sympathetic smile.
Magnum whispers.
Prince Magnum: I'm not here for your hand...
The princess gasped.
Princess Lucia was scared.
She was on the verge to move.
Magnum was solemn.
Prince Magnum: You're safe where you are...
The princess stopped.
Lucia glanced at the tree behind herself.
He touched the tree by his left hand.
Prince Magnum: I am a prince, but I'm not like them.
Princess Lucia was getting tears of sorrow.
Prince Magnum: Please, your highness...I only wanted to meet you...Get to know you...Become my friend...
Lucia sobs.
Princess Lucia: Friend?
Magnum made a sad smile.
Prince Magnum: Yes, princess...Will you...let me have a chance...to see you?...
Lucia became nervous.
She wasn't sure to meet the prince at all.
Princess Lucia was breathing hard.
Prince Magnum: You're okay...I'm not here for your hand... I'm here to be your friend...Please let me meet you...Please...
The princess was shaking.
She hides her face with her both hands.
Princess Lucia wishes the prince would just go away.
Lucia was sobbing.
Magnum had to check behind the tree.
He was surprised.
The princess can't quit sobbing.
Lucia doesn't have a courage to meet him.
A pair of young man's hands touches her shoulders gently.
She felt immediately that someone's consoling her.
The princess uncovered her face.
Princess Lucia gasps in astonishment.
It was the redhead prince.
Magnum was compassionate.
Prince Magnum: Don't be frightened, Lucia...I can still be your friend...I'm not going to hurt you...
The princess settles down after a few moments.
Princess Lucia was melancholy yet smiling.
She puts her hands on her heart.
The princess sobbed.
Princess Lucia: Thank you, your highness.
Prince Magnum: It's all right.
What do you think? More soon.
