DAYS IN THE PALACE BEGAN TO BLUR TOGETHER FOR DIANA. every morning brought a schedule filled with formal events, meetings, and more lessons on etiquette and public speaking. but as the days grew longer and the pressures from her family increased, she found herself retreating more often to her sanctuary—the quiet study where she could escape, even if only for a few precious moments.
since her last conversation with her father, diana had felt a small sense of hope, a feeling that perhaps she wasn't completely alone in her dreams. william's words stayed with her, a quiet reassurance that he, at least, understood a little of what she was going through. but even that understanding couldn't remove the mounting pressure she felt from others, especially her mother.
kate had grown more watchful since their recent conversation, as though she feared diana would slip further away from her royal duties. it seemed as though every move diana made was under scrutiny, every decision weighed against her obligations to the crown. and although kate loved her daughter deeply, her concern manifested in subtle, yet constant reminders that diana was bound to a life that left little room for personal choices.
one evening, as diana sat at her desk, pouring over a book on european history, she felt her thoughts drifting again to felix. the letters they exchanged had become her solace, his words a reminder of a world outside the palace walls—a world filled with color, adventure, and freedom. she reached for the most recent letter she had received from him, a smile breaking across her face as she read his familiar handwriting.
hey diana,
i've been thinking about you a lot lately. tour life has been crazy, but it's nothing compared to what you must be going through. just know that no matter how far away i am, i'm with you in spirit. i can't wait to see you again someday, whenever that may be.stay strong, princess.
i love you, felixdiana traced her fingers over his words, a feeling of warmth blooming in her chest. felix had always had a way of making her feel seen, of making her believe that she was more than the titles and roles that others imposed upon her. with him, she felt free to be herself—just diana, no royal obligations attached.
her thoughts were interrupted by another soft knock at the door. she quickly tucked the letter back into her drawer, looking up as george peeked in.
"diana?" he whispered, stepping inside with a mischievous grin. "i found something you might like."
she raised an eyebrow, curious as he held out his hand, revealing a small, folded piece of paper. she took it from him, her eyes widening as she read the note inside. it was an invitation to an upcoming charity gala, but this one was unlike the usual royal events. it was a more relaxed affair, and, to her surprise, stray kids was scheduled to perform.
george beamed, clearly excited. "i knew you'd like it. mum and dad were talking about it earlier. they're planning to attend, and i overheard that we might be able to go, too!"
