In my memory

"The Williams Palace"

"May i have your hand ? Prince Ralph Alexa"

Loud gossips went audible . The great and fearful prince Eliot Williams just proposed the prince of Junjaira ? And after dumping the princess ? In the mean time , the guards of castle caught Rebecca and took her from there locking in her a room which was the most ideal thing to do then

No one dared to interrupt the session between two princes . Prince Ralph was also shocked and taken aback . Anyone would be when such a high figure is proposing them 

He couldn't process anything . Once he understood the situation , he fell into a thought . How should he answer him ? How was he supposed to refuse the prince in front of these many people ? His face turned more pale

Prince Eliot kept kneeling there with his hand out waiting for Prince Ralph's answer . Under his parents and everyone's gaze , he hesitantly took out his hand and let it fall on the prince's hand . 

He just saw him for the first time and accepted his proposal . He himself felt like an idiot but the situation was very complicated . Anything he did , seemed wrong and ridiculous

"Its a fortune and an honor . I really appreciate your acceptance , My prince"

He left a light kiss on his hand and looked at him . Then Ralph remembered , this man had just dumped his sister and proposed to him . How ridiculous was it for the both of them . And plus , he had started to say 'my' prince now . Eliot Williams stood up and shared a look with Prince Ralph

"Thank you , My prince . I shall not bother you anymore . Your pale face is saying you need a rest . I will visit you again"

The guards from the Malzenia kingdom had already reached there . They put a cloak on his shoulders and followed him as he walked most ahead . Everyone stepped back clearing the way for the prince

Meanwhile , Prince Ralph was still lost looking at the man leaving who came , proposed him and left like a whoosh of air . The ball was messed up now so everyone started to head back one by one

The kings from another kingdom came to Prince Ralph and congratulated him and also praised him for accepting his proposal . Though they were a little jealous from inside , they looked happy from outside . Ralph also headed back followed by the servants and his parents

"Son , are you okay ?" The queen came to him and sat beside him patting his shoulder . The king sat on his other side and kept his hand on his back

"I still can't tell apart my decision"

The queen and king thought he accepted it since they have been worrying about kingdom's power lately and this was not a place where they could gain power by eliminating and conquering other kingdoms . The west sea was the most peaceful side of the world

"I feel so ridiculous right now . I accepted in spite of knowing...."

The king consoled him a little , "Don't bother over it much now , son . Don't back from your decision . Let the things go as they are now"

Ralph nodded but he was still disturbed inside by the reality that he will never be able to love back prince the same way . His face turned paler and paler . He started to feel he was getting sick again so a doctor was summoned in the palace

*After two days*

Prince Ralph was sleeping in his room when he heard a knock on his door

"Come in"

His voice was sleepy and the other person felt a little bad about disturbing prince in his sleep but it didn't take over the nervousness he held . The butler came in with a rush and sweat on his face and handed a paper to the prince , "Your highness , a letter has arrived from the palace of Malzenia"
