Royale: Infanta Sofia

Chapter 3: Silly

LUCAS' POV

Months had passed, we all became friends and became an evenly large friend group

Sofia and I became more open to each other and I'm more than glad to be her friend

Though the monarchy of Spain and Great Britain isn't really in good terms right now, but it was never a hindrance for the both of us

Flashback

"That Spanish moron! He'll pay for it!" I heard grandpa Charles cursed, he was walking back and forth, "After all he couldn't even pay his debt! Look, he's now being chased by multiple allegations of embezzlement!"

"Father, don't stress yourself too much. All the money he borrowed will eventually come back..." Dad said, trying to calm his father

"Cut off all our ties from them! From now on, I don't want any of my grandchildren to be acquainted with any of those Spanish bastards like him!" Grandpa furiously said

"He's going to abdicate the throne, Father..." Uncle Harry said, "I know, and he should be!" Grandpa replied

He knelt in front of me and held my hand. "Lucas? You shouldn't be friends with any Spanish person, alright? Because they are money-hungry and corrupt. You will understand it in the future." Grandpa Charles brainwashed me into thinking that Spain is bad

End of Flashback

"Lucas, you've been daydreaming for so long!" Orson nudged me

"So we've been thinking, since the Color Party is approaching..." Elise said, everyone of us listened to what she was about to say

"Wait... What's with the Color Party?!" Dwayne said cutting Elise off, which made the latter irritated

"So, it is honoring the International LGBT+ Pride Day, and our school will be celebrating it. They believe that everyone of any gender identity is equal!" Elise answered, looking very excited, "As I was saying, there will be a Color Party and Bonfire!" She continued

"We're planning, that we'll go on pairs so we could have fun and get to know more about each other..." Skye added

"That makes sense, it's gonna be on Friday, right? So that means there's no class?!" Arianne cheered, which made everyone laugh

I glanced beside me and saw Sofia sipping her drink, she looked at me and moved the drink closer to my mouth as if telling me to take a sip which I gladly accepted

"What are your plans this Friday? Partners?" I asked, and she eagerly nodded

"It's a yes for me." Sofia agreed, leaning her head on my shoulder

"You want to come with me? It's almost sunset, you know." I politely asked, "Absolutely, it's boring here." The Infanta replied

We sneaked, away from our friends, we reached the coast and I realized our height difference

"Oh Bourbon, you're so small!" I feel alive when I'm with her

"Shut up, how come you're so quiet when we're with friends but so noisy when you're with me?" She accused

"I feel comfortable around you, not that I don't feel comfortable around them, but there's something in your that soothes me, Bourbon..." I honestly replied, "But don't yourself..."

She jokingly gagged, "Yuck?! You? No thanks!"

"We'll see about that!" I rushed towards her and tapped her shoulder, "You're it, Bourbon!" I ran as fast as I could

"You! Get back here, Lucas Edward Arthur Henry! Gosh, your name is long!" She tried catching me but all I did was to dodge her, "HAHAHA, you can't me, because you're small!" I laughed
