The next few days, royal obligations assigned to the newly engaged couple are implemented. Doing things together, mostly apart, they are obliged to make appearances from here and there. While Yoongi guided the prince most of the time as he was the formal appointed adviser for Taehyung, I was assigned to guide Charlie as hers. I silently and calmly watched her review her speech as she couldn't stop fidgeting, stuttering and trying so hard to calm herself down.
This is her very first public speech which focuses on women's goals and aspirations. She will be conducting a ribbon cutting for a gallery that celebrates different women and their ideas. About more than a hundred people are present to witness the Austrian princess' speech.
On constant repeat, she would stop at one part and start all over again. I heaved a sigh and called out her attention as I witness a wave of stress began to affect her;
"Your highness,"
She stopped and worriedly eyed me.
"Adviser Kim?..."
In spite of her adorable face, she's obviously anxious and I need to do something about it, quickly.
I held out my hands to her and she automatically placed them on my huge ones. She's shaking. I squeezed them.
"Your highness, relax. Don't push yourself too much. Think of it as a normal conversation...with a lot of people."
She bit her lower lip.
"What if I said the wrong words?? What if I-"
"Shhhh."
I smiled at her while she looked at me, still, with those huge worried eyes.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. When you talk to your people, you need to
tell them how you really feel. Honesty on all levels. I want you to practice transparency. That way you don't need to remember specific ideas or words extracted from the script. That script given to you is just a guide. It's not you. It's someone else's idea. Come on, let's talk about this so you can come up with your own idea. As a woman, what are your dreams and aspirations?...do you think women should be able to set bigger goals for themselves?.."She told me her thoughts and how she feels about the given topic. How she sees independent women and how most of them inspire her. The way she delivered her notion about the matter sounded so sincere. If princess Charlie will be trained in a more diplomatic way just like a normal monarch, she will make a good princess that can influence people with any chosen advocacy.
That is my goal now. To make a true and strong willed princess out of her. Someone who can back up the prince in the future.
"See? You just had your speech."
Surprised, she looked at me;
"Like what I said, when you talk to your people, think of them as the ones you truly care about. Like how you would express yourself in front of us, your friends. Speeches don't need to be overtly formal. It's a way of conversing to people. A chance to be heard. Don't fear the situation, embrace and enjoy it. Also, if for a moment, you feel a little confused and forgot what you're supposed to say, just count 1 to 5. It works for me."
