After taking a bath in the palace,she heard a sound of guitar. Something beautiful. Her favorite song.

She walk downstair and found the King with a guitar on his hand, playing it

"You can play a guitar?" Said Princess

"Oh, yes" said the King

"That's my favourite song" said Princess, making the King turning his head

"Really? That's my favourite song too" said him.

"Yes," said princess walking closer

"Don't stop" she said

She sings a couple of word and the King enchanted by her voice.

"You said you can't sing?" Said him

"I can't" said the princess

"But you voice is quite lovely" he smirking

"Thanks" said her.

She pull his hand and say

"Drop your guitar"

"Okay" he said

They dance and giggling like it's the most wonderful time they ever had.

"Forget about this morning" said the king

"I know" she giggle

They continue dancing as they started to feel tired.

"You dance very well" she said

"No, no, you're better" he said

"You're sweating" said the princess wipe his sweat with her napkin, he hold her hand and stare at her,

"Oh, you can continue your play" she break the awkwardness.

"Oh yes" he nodded.

The king continue his play and princess lay her head on his back.

"Uhm, you can sleep first if you're tired" said the King

"Hmmm" said the princess with her sleepy voice.

"You sleepy?" He asked

"Hmmm" she nodded.

"Okay, you can sleep on my back" said the King continue to play the guitar. And stroke her hair.

--

The next day she found herself back in their room, but without King on her side.

"Morning your majesty, the bath is ready, " said the maid

"Thanks, where is King John?" She asked the maid

"He is downstair preparing the ball" said her

"THE BALL?" She shocked.

"Yes, today's The King birthday ball" said the maid

"Oh okay, thanks" she said, heading to the royal bathroom.

"Princess, the ball gown is ready" said the maid

"Thanks" said the princess.

--

She don't see her husband anymore until the ball time.

She dressed nicely in a very lovely gown with red rose petal pattern.

It's the time they dance. She haven't said happy birthday before.

The King bow down and take her hand, slip his hand on her waist

"Happy birthday" she whisper.

"Thanks" he smiled.

"It's weird you know" he said

"Why?" princess ask

"Hmm, cause, I'm here dancing with someone I don't love on my birthday, tsk tsk" said him.

"Ugh, I know," she nodded, looked down to the floor

"Well, anyway, come closer.." Said king john.

She lean her head on his chest and he lean his head on hers. She can hear the beating of his heart. It feels like the king curtis' terror is disappear.

They still in their position when everyone in the ballroom, including her parents turning their head to see what happen. They stay like that with their eyes closed, even after the music stopped.

They pull off and see everyone, turning their heads at them with a kind of surprised expression.

Their blushing. And go to separate way, as the Princess' mom, Queen Julie, grab her hand and take her to the garden.

"Is that real, what I've just saw a minutes ago?" Said her mom, teasing.

"Oh, mom. Stopped it" She said blushing so badly

"Do you love him?" Said her mom

"Uh mom. I don't even know what love is" she said

"Well what did you feel?" Said queen julie

"I- don't know" said princess

"Well you can tell me dear" said queen julie again

"..." She don't replied.

"Hmm.. It's your life, darling. Sooner or later you will understand" said her mom. Just the same answer madam Bardot gave her last months.

She also remember how she told her that her husband will be dead.

"Oh mom, what do I have done?" She said, hugging her mom

"What is it darling?" Said her mom

"Nothing mom, just my train of thoughts" she finally remembering madam bardot's words that the king will be died, and she will be a widow, after he died, and imagine what is it to live without him. She had the biggest Imagination, but now, the problem is, she couldn't even imagine it.

"I have to meet Madam bardot" She mumbled
