The flashes were endless.The traffic is crazy.The flowers outside the castle gates were endless.There was only one thing that we all want so bad and that is a miracle.A miracle to happen.Just hoping this just a bad nightmare.

In order to keep up with that hopeful feeling,I have to smile and wave and attend public engagements with I quote 'cheery' mood,That was the advice zar gave to not make people panic.

There was a newsleak of neymar's current situation and I can say that the public is very much scared.I've seen the bold letters of 'Regency?'printed out in every newspaper.

"Whats your name?"I ask the little child who was busy colouring something in her notebook.I am currently in a public engagement but today holds a special place in my heart.I am currently in a children's hospital.

"Rita,your grace"I smiled and took her hands in mine."Well I think you have a very pretty name and you are very beautiful."I complimented.

The day went through that way,smiling and talking to the children but I couldn't hide the fact that I really do want to be by his side.I was walking out of the school foyer and towards the car when a small tug requested my attention.I looked to find a small boy,I squatted to his level."Can I ask you a question?" He asks and I nodded my head and gave him a small smile "Of course sweetheart what is it?"I ask."Do you think king neymar will go to heaven,Atleast I get to see him.I wanna be just like him strong and brave and like a knight.My mother told me that he saved you once from the evils and that now he is really sick just like me.So do you think king neymar and I can be best friends in heaven?"And I looked at the child my smile faltered a little.And I could hear the gasps.And as much as how the question was shocking I did not find it rude.

"I don't know where to begin to answer your question sir lancelot.Because well that is a lot of questions."I lighten up the mood and gave him a broad smile."Well to begin with yes king neymar did save me from the evil men."I answer with a small smile as two little girls joined him and I gave them smiles."And I think king neymar would really love to be your best friend but who says about the after life.Can I tell you a secret?"I ask and they nodded excitedly,"I think you would see king neymar smiling and standing up like a king again sometime soon."And I added a small wink."And I think that you lancelot are already best friends with king neymar without him knowing it."I answer and the little children who began to gather around me cheered.

"Anymore question sweethearts?"I ask the crowd of children as I stood up..And a little girl raised her hand,so I proceeded my way to her."What is your question beautiful?"I ask and she giggles at my compliment."Do you love King Neymar,Mummy said that he made you cry thats why you're not a queen anymore?Why did he make you cry,Doesnt he love you?"And talk about awkwardness.I never let my smile faltered but I'm sure the media is enjoying this.I have a soft spot for children what can I say.

"well your mummy must know everything then."I joked and she giggles.And then I just looked at her with a small sad smile,And then I kind of zone out "I love king neymar."My answer was simple but it caused so much flashes to all go in once."Forever with all your heart?"She asks and I smiled."Do you love king neymar?"I ask and she nodded,"Forever with all your heart?"I ask and she nodded excitedly."Then you might have my answer."Taking me by surprise she wraps her arms around me and engulfed me in a hug in which I return.

"I want to be as kind as you one day."she whispers and I gave her a smell peck in her head.As I stand up she ran back to what I assume is her nurse and I waved a small goodbye before turning my back and walking towards the foyer where I began thanking the administration.

As soon as I sit in my car,I kept my smile as there were still photographers,As soon as zar came in the car began to move and I continued to wave until our car is far from the foyer.
