Will you be my princess

Chapter 5

Chapter 4: Glittering Tiaras & Angry Butlers!

Prince Wilfred's POV

I was walking down the staircase in the palace, heading towards a secret door that leads to a secret room where the crown of all Phillip's queen sat on a velvet pillow. I didn't know how long I was in there staring at the sparkling crown but at some point I noticed Alana in the entrance staring at the crown.

"Do you want a closer look?" Alana seemed to have been startled as I addressed her.

"Can I?" I nodded my head and she slowly came forward. She stared at the crown admiringly and I couldn't help but stare at her. Not only was she beautiful on the outside but she was beautiful on the inside as well and she had such a pure heart. The kindness that she has is really rare and I'm always thinking about her. It seems that every time I see her Claude is always there and scolding her for such petty little things. There really is no reason that she should be scolded at all, if anyone needed to be scolded it would be Claude for speaking to a very important guest in this manner of tone. As I was watching her I noticed a rag in her hand.

"Why do you have a rag in your hand?" She looked up at me with surprise showing in her blue eyes.

"Um Claude told me to clean the staircase." Right when she said that Claude burst right into the room with a scorning look aimed at Alana.

"Miss Alana I told you that this room was STRICTLY off limits!" Alana shrank back at Claude's harsh words and tone. I stood in front of her and addressed Claude.

"I invited her in here Claude. Is that a problem?" Claude looked stunned and shrank back at my harsh tone.

"N-no your Highness but..." I turned a harsh and cold glare to Claude and he immediately bowed apologetically.

"You are dismissed." Claude bowed again and left the room. I then turned a warm smile towards Alana and she smiled softly in return. Spending time with her like this feels special somehow but I wish that it would never end.

Alana's POV

Claude had me clean the staircase as a punishment due to what happened with the media. I wasn't supposed to be seen but I was out on the balcony of my bedroom and someone must've seen me because later I was on the news. So anyway I was cleaning the staircase when I saw a room just below the staircase. I stopped cleaning and moved toward the entrance with the rag still in my hand. I peeked inside the room and saw the most beautiful tiara I've ever seen.

Standing next to the crown I saw Prince Wilfred. Prince Wilfred noticed my presence. "Would you like a closer look?" I felt myself blush and I tried to suppress it.

"Can I?" Prince Wilfred nodded his head and I slowly stepped forward. I stared at the crown admiringly. It was so beautiful and the queens of Phillip wore this crown.

Prince Wilfred seemed to notice the rag that I held in my hand because he asked, "Why do you have a rag in your hand?" I looked up at him in surprise because I wasn't really expecting that question.

"Um Claude told me to clean the staircase." Right after I said that Claude had burst right into the room and looked at me with a scornful look.

"Miss Alana I told you that this room was STRICTLY off limits!" I shrank back at Claude's harsh words and tone. Then Prince Wilfred stood in front of me and addressed Claude.

"I invited her in here Claude. Is that a problem?" Claude looked stunned and shrank back at Prince Wilfred quiet but harsh tone.

"N-no your highness but..." Prince Wilfred turned a harsh and cold glare on Claude and he immediately bowed apologetically.
