Secret

Primrose's First Mission

*A Couple Hours Later*

"Good evening, Dr. Edwards," I give a slight curtsy to the madman I am standing in front of. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Ah, good evening to you, ah, Princess Rose," Mr. Edwards looks between Eggsy and I, trying to remember our names. "Or were you a queen, dear?"

"I just became queen, sir," I grip onto Eggsy's hand.

"And I'm King Gary the second," Eggsy gives my hand a light squeeze.

"Ah, yes, of course," Dr. Edwards lets out a chuckle, clasping his hands together. "Now it's all coming back to me. Malta, yes?"

Eggsy and I give curt nods to the man.

"I'm sorry for forgetting. I have been beyond busy getting this party in line, and I have tried my best to learn all the names and countries of my guests," Dr. Edwards runs a hand through his hair.

"No worries," Eggsy smiles. "From my understanding, you have a lot of people here tonight."

"Oh, I do. I hope you two have a wonderful evening, and maybe I'll see you two later in the night," he nods, walking off into the crowd.

"Well, he didn't seem to suspect us or anything," Eggsy starts leading me somewhere deeper into the crowd. "So, that's good. He had general knowledge of us, but I don't think we'll have to talk to him anymore."

"You didn't read what Merlin sent, did you?" I sigh, shaking my head as I realize that we are making our way to the dance floor.

"No, it was way too boring for me," Eggsy chuckles. "I could barely stand reading in school, and I can come up with answers on my own."

"Of course," I roll my eyes. "Now, why are you taking me to the dance floor?"

"I am taking you to the dance floor, so we can slow dance. It is also close to all the tech stuff, so Merlin can do his job."

"Yeah Kay," Merlin's voice comes through my right ear piece. "Did you read the mission debriefing?"

"No," I pout, looking around at all the innocent people in the room. "But at least I can answer all the questions about us and not blow our cover," I whisper.

"Regardless," Eggsy grabs my other hand, pulling me into his chest. "I'm going to dance with a beautiful girl that I get to call mine."

I smile, nuzzling my head into Eggsy's chest.

"We'll take down Dr. Edwards," Roxy's confident voice fills my ear. "Just stay close to where you are right now, and Merlin will hack in and disarm the bombs. Look out for Dr. Edwards for me, as I'll be arresting him tonight."

"Will do," I push away from Eggsy just a bit, looking up at him.

"We've got the easy job, babe," Eggsy leans down and gives me a quick kiss. "Now, let's dance."

Eggsy and I begin to sway to the music that is flowing from the speakers all over the room. It reminds me of the few times he took me to a school dance, and I would beg him to slow dance with me because I wanted to experience it. Now it's the other way around, but I'm sure if he didn't want to dance tonight, I would be begging him.

"Are you afraid to talk to me, darling?" Eggsy whispers into my open ear. "Usually you'd be talking my ear off."

"That's not true, Gary, and you know it," I shake my head. "I just don't have anything I want to talk about."
