THE WORLD BEYOND THE PALACE WALLS walls was bustling, lively, yet she sat alone in her room, wrapped in the quiet splendor of her surroundings. her mind kept drifting back to that night with felix—the warmth of his embrace, his gentle words, the spark in his eyes as he looked at her, as if she were just a girl, not a princess weighed down by tradition and responsibility. it was a feeling she had never experienced before, a glimpse of a life that felt truly hers, not one designed to fit a royal mold.
diana closed her eyes, savoring the memories. for years, her life had been a finely orchestrated dance, each step planned, each move calculated to fit the image her family expected. but with felix, she felt none of that pressure. she felt seen. as she lay back on her bed, she smiled, a genuine smile that hadn't graced her face in ages.
but that joy was fleeting, quickly replaced by an ache of reality. she knew the path she was walking was fraught with difficulties. she was a princess, bound by her duty to her family and her country. any relationship with felix would be scrutinised, dissected, and likely dismissed as a mere fling, a youthful indiscretion. the weight of her position pressed down on her once more, reminding her of her responsibilities, of the life she was expected to lead.
as the sun rose the next morning, her life resumed its familiar rhythm—meetings, charity visits, official appearances. the bustle of her schedule was relentless, a constant reminder of her obligations. yet, throughout the day, her mind kept drifting back to felix, her fingers itching to reach for her phone, to see if he had reached out. she had promised him that they would find a way to stay in touch, but in the light of day, those promises felt like distant dreams.
when she finally found a brief moment of solitude in her study, she let herself indulge in a fleeting hope and picked up her phone. she hesitated for a moment, her thumb hovering over his contact, uncertain if she should disturb him. but before she could second-guess herself, she pressed the call button. the phone rang only once before he answered.
"annie?" felix's voice was a warm balm to her frayed nerves, filling her with a sense of peace she hadn't realized she craved.
she let out a small sigh, her lips curving into a soft smile. "felix, i...i hope i'm not disturbing you."
his gentle laugh sent a thrill through her. "you could never be a disturbance, diana. honestly, i've been hoping you'd call."
"have you?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. the thought of him thinking of her, waiting for her call, made her heart race.
"every second since last night," he replied, his tone both shy and sincere. "i haven't been able to get you out of my mind."
a blush warmed her cheeks, and she laughed softly, her tension melting away. "i was worried you'd have forgotten about me already."
"impossible," he said, his voice gentle yet filled with a quiet intensity that left her breathless. "last night was... it was special, diana. i can't stop thinking about it."
