PRINCESS 2 [Charles Leclerc]

49. Good Team

After all the trouble of today, we make ourself ready for the dinner with the Canadian prime minister. Lisa came with us and did all of my styling with some other staff.

I just finished to get ready and walk out of my bathroom. I wear a purple straight dress which is knee long. It has a belt in the same color. Also
Grace got dressed in a purple flower dress. Charles smiles and kisses me gently.

C: You look gorgeous, my princess.

E: Thanks handsome.

I smile into the kiss. Grace is walking over asking for Charles. He picks her up to give her a kiss.

C: You look also very pretty mon ange.

She puts her head happy on Charles shoulder. I smile seeing them like this. Everything about the past few months is forgotten.

E: I love you both so much.

C: I love you, too. Time to be a happy family.

He nudges my nose with a wink. I laugh as I hear a knock on the door.

Ryan.

R: Your highness, the car is waiting.

It feels so good to have him officially back. Even tho I didn't miss his formal side. I look over to Charles and we both can't hide a laugh. Ryan rolls his eyes as he knows why we're laughing. I know, he is just doing his job perfectly fine.

Chris walks inside our room as the door is still open and claps his hands.

Chris: Alright everyone, time to go.

Charles leans over to me to whisper.

C: Nothing changed.

E: Absolutely nothing.

I grin but follow Chris with Charles and Grace.

********

We arrive at tonight's locations. Chris gets out with Ryan, Marcus and our other bodyguards. My dad did a bit too much with hiring about 10 guards who are following us non stop from now on.

Chris: Ladies and gentlemen, the prince and princess of Monaco.

Charles gives Grace and me a kiss before we go out.

C: Let's get this over us quickly.

He helps us out of the car. Cameras are flashing in our face as we go to meet the prime minister.

Grace is walking next to me with some papers in her hand. I kneel down to her to take them from her as Charles needs them now.

E: Daddy needs it.

G: No!

She stomps her feet and gets sassy.

G: Want back.

I hold her hand and get strict, explaining her wants happening right now. Still knowing cameras are on us.

E: No, you gonna have to listen now. They're cameras filming us. Daddy's needs the papers for work.

She left herself fall on the ground, but still holding your hand. I sigh and pick her up quickly. I know how she's feeling and I do feel bad for it, but it is what it is. I try to stay calm.

E: I know it's very boring and you want the papers back, but now you gonna need to be a princess, okay? We're trying to go back to the hotel soon, my dear.

She stays silent, looking at all the people while biting on her finger nervously. I try to be there for her as best as I can. I see that Charles looks over to us from time to time while he's the one doing the talks tonight. He wants me to recover from being sick, still not knowing what mind be the reason for it. I give him a smile to tell him we're okay.

Grace puts her hand on my ear and whispers.

G: Daddy?

E: Later, Gracie.

I rub gently over her back while she's still being on my arm. Charles already turns around to us.

C: Did someone call me?

G: Arm?

Grace nods to him and he takes her over. I sigh. This doesn't work for engagements. Besides I don't want Grace to be in public from now on all the time.

E: We definitely need a new nanny for events like this.

C: We will look for someone.

He gives me a smile before he looks to Grace and nudges her nose.

C: But now who wants to meet the prime minister?

He tries to make a game for Grace. I smile looking at them. On our way inside it's me now who's talking to some politicians and also the prime minister while Charles takes care of Grace.

***********

All in all we had a successful dinner. Even Chris is happy with us.

Grace got bored from time to time but she was okay. She's currently sitting on my arm while I talk to some people next to me.

C: She felt asleep.

He touches gently my arm to bring my attention to Grace. I try to see her eyes but her face is looking into the different direction. I smile and just rub over her back gently.

E: Looks like we're such a good team.

C: See, we don't even need a nanny.

He winks and squeezes my knee.
