...a few days later, the day of the dinner...
Gloria was very excited about the dinner tonight. She was rummaging through all her clothes to try and find the perfect dress. She ended up picking a deep purple full dress with a long sleeve jacket corset that was the same length as the dress, she felt pretty in it, and it fit her like a glove. She decided to leave her hair down and natural, with her tiara right on top of her head. Before she knew it she was being called downstairs for dinner. She started getting butterflies in their stomach again, so she tried to relax and be the modest princess she was supposed to be. She walked downstairs and stood next to her father while Knight Victor, and his parents arrived. She greeted them but, she couldn't stop herself from looking for Henry. He came in last, her eyes met his, and she smiled, he walked over to her, and took her hand and bowed, she couldn't stop smiling and her heart kept beating faster and faster, she wanted to talk to him, but she stopped herself because she was supposed to be talking to Victor, so she watched Henry as he walked into the kitchen. Dinner was ready very quickly, so they all took their seats.
Gloria was very anxious during The dinner, when food was placed in front of her she suddenly felt nauseous, as this feeling came to her, her heart started to ache and long for Henry. All these thoughts where going through her head.
"Gloria?...Gloria?...Gloria?!" she was snapped out of her thoughts,
"Oh! I'm sorry father, just day dreaming" Her father gave her a disapproving look, than continued to eat his dinner.
Gloria looked down at her food, she started to get nauseous again, she bit her lip,
"Father...may I please be excused for a moment?" Her father looked at her with a hard gaze, than he softened it,
"Are you alright?" Gloria looked at him,
"I'm not quite feeling myself" her father began to look worried,
"You may go" Gloria nodded her head, and excused herself.
She walked into the library, where she knew there was a door that led to the kitchen. She walked through the door to the kitchen, she looks around to find Henry because she remembered him walking into the kitchen when they arrived. Unfortunately she couldn't find him. Still not feeling well, she walked up to her room. About 15 minutes passed and she heard a knock on her door, she cleared her throat,
"Come in" she said sitting up on her bed. It was Felix,
"Gloria? your father was wondering if you where alright."
Gloria looked down and looked back at him,
"Yes I'm fine, tell him I will be down in a minute"
Felix nodded,
"Your message will be passed along Princess"
"Thank you Felix"
Felix closed her door,
Gloria stood up and looked at herself in her mirror, took a deep breath, and slowly walked down her stairs, she walked to the dinning room, everyone turned to look at her,
"I'm sorry for my absence everyone" Gloria spoke.
"It's alright dear, are you feeling better?" Colette asked,
Gloria smiled at her,
"Yes, thank you, I just needed to take a walk"
Even though that was a lie, she still felt like she was about to vomit all over everyone at the dinner table, but she knew she couldn't show it, she forced herself to eat her food, even though every bite was an agonizing gag as she swallowed.
Finally, the dinner was over, and it was time for goodbyes. As the two families where saying goodbye, Henry came out of the kitchen, Gloria caught his eyes, she suddenly felt weak, her heart pounded, and her knees started giving out, she held herself up with all her might. Henry walked over to her to say Goodbye, he took her hand, and put his head next to hers,
"Meet me out side" he whispered.
Henry pulled his head away from Gloria's, their eyes met, and Gloria smiled as saying okay. Victor and his parents left and Gloria sneaked her way outside.
"Henry?" she whispered "Henry where are you?..Henry?"
Gloria couldn't find Henry she kept looking around, although it wasn't that easy in the dark. Gloria didn't give up though, until her and Henry banged into each other.
"Ouch!" Gloria said
"Shh" Henry covered her mouth,
he pulled her closer to the wall of the castle, and let go of her mouth, Henry looked at her, his warm green eyes that caught her gaze.
"Its nice to finally meet you" Henry spoke.
"Its nice to meet you to...but wont you get in trouble if you are caught out here, shouldn't you be with Knight Victor?"
"Don't worry about that, I told them I was going to walk, that I needed some fresh air..."
Gloria smiled
"...You know I saw you at your mothers funeral." Henry spoke.
Gloria's smile fell off her face and she put her head down,
"You did?"
Henry lifted her head,
"I did, and I thought you where beautiful"
Gloria looked at him,
"really?"
Henry nodded his head yes,
"But looking at you closeup like this, you are even more stunning"
Gloria blushed.
"GLORIA? WHERE ARE YOU?"
Gloria turned white,
"That's Beatrice! I...Gotta go"
"Wait! Gloria!"
"I'm Sorry Henry, I hope to see you soon!...I'M COMING BEATRICE!" Gloria ran into the castle and up her stairs into her room.
"Gloria!...Where were you?"
"I'm sorry, I was getting some air"
"Never mind that dear, I have news from your father"
"What is it Beatrice?"
"He wants you to seriously marry Knight Victor"
Gloria looked down,
"Marry him?"
"Yes!...Don't you like him?"
Gloria looked at Beatrice,
"I...I...I don't know"
Beatrice looked at Gloria confused,
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"Because I think I'm falling for his assistant, Henry..."
"Henry?! his assistant? Gloria, your father will not approve..."
"I know Beatrice...I know...But I cant help it...hes perfect in every way."
Beatrice sighs,
"You better sleep on this Gloria, Goodnight"
"But Beatrice...I really do like him..."
"I know you do Gloria...I know"
Beatrice leaves and throughout the whole night Gloria's mind was set on Henry.
