Daring Babe

The one male had pitch black hair and bright blue eyes that were the colour of the morning sky. He was pale and extremely tall. The colour surrounding him looked like dark blue flames. They kept flickering and they seemed to have continued growing the closer he got.
It was very intimidating.

The male next to the noirette had white hair and he didn't even look old.
They both only looked a little older than I was.
The white haired male was slightly tanner than his friend and had broader shoulders. His eyes were a blazing red which were honestly terrifying. The colour surrounding him were just like the noirettes blue flames but instead they were a blood red.

They're both scary

I shivered and rubbed the goosebumps appearing on my arms. "They have these intimidating colours surrounding them." I whispered to Henry as we watched the two look around and finally spot us. "You can see their auras?" Henry looked surprised but so was I.

"Huh their auras?" Henry couldn't answer because the two males had already approached us. "Greetings Henry." The white haired male smirked and without any shame, he winked in my direction. "Its lovely to see you again Beatrice." My shoulders tensed up as I watched his so called aura dance widely.

Wait, Beatrice met him?

That means I'm suppose to know him already!!

My eyes darted to Henry but he purposely looked away making me internally curse him out. I smiled falsely and nodded. "Yes it's nice to see you again..." I looked at Henry again and he thankfully mouthed the words: "Maddox" to me. "Maddox!" I finished with a closed eye smile.

I could see the silent noirette felt something was off, his suspicious expression saying it all. "Isn't it nice to see Beatrice again Prince Louna?" Maddox grinned making the taller male scoff. "Yes it's nice to see you again Prince Louna." Henry bowed bumping his arm against mine.

I got the signal and smiled. "Yes, nice to see you again." He glanced down at me before looking else where.
It annoyed me slightly but the maids did warn me that he kept to himself so I wasn't all that surprised.

"Let's move to my office shall we?" Henry gestured towards the hall before we all followed.
The walk was silent besides the occasional flirt and chatter from Maddox.
By the sounds of it, Beatrice had spent a lot of time with the two princes so I was worrying over the fact that they might find out I'm not Beatrice and declare war on Henrys country.

That would be horrible

"Be daring." My head flew towards Louna who had quietly commented the same exact line my mother had told me a million times while growing up. "Oh yeah! You use to say, "Be daring Babe", all the time." Maddox laughed but I just felt...weird for some reason.

That line brought back so many memories I had forgotten.
It didn't help that those were my mothers exact words.
"Beatrice?" I jumped feeling a hand touch my shoulder. "Yes?" I noticed Henry had snapped me out of my daze.

Maddox and Louna were staring making me nervously laugh. "Ahah I remember, of course I do!" I nodded too quickly but I was just glad they didn't comment further.
"Where did you go by the way?" I looked at Maddox who never seemed to keep his mouth shut. "We heard you went traveling so where did you go?"

I was in a tough spot as the two princes drilled holes into my head with their suspicious eyes. "She went to Gordon Island, some villages near there and managed to visit Elf territory." Both princes eyes widened at Henry's words. "Elf Territory!?"
"That's amazing!" Both boys were very vocal, including the silent Prince Louna.
Where as I was confused.

Elf territory?
