The Queen and Her King

Be Our Guest

Brielle POV

I had gotten ready for family day now. I let Harry know that he can head there with the VKs and I'll meet him there since family day is an important one and to dress accordingly. Now Ben always has this little musical number that he organizes every year for this event, of course, he sings "Be Our Guest", a song ingrained into my very being because of how many times I've heard it. Here's the thing though, if you go back in Ben and I's bloodlines we are almost purely French however because we really haven't lived there we didn't really pick up a full accent when speaking English. However I know French, so when I speak it my accent comes through beautifully. Now, why does this matter? Well, I just love sitting back and criticizing how Ben and the students who also sing the song say the very few French words in the song. And no, I don't sing it with them. Doing silly musical stunts in public isn't really my cup of tea.

Anyway, I began my walk to the courtyard where family day was being held and funny enough Ben was heading there at the same time so we walked together,

"So, how are you and Mal?"

I asked as we went down the stairs,

"Oh we've been good, seems a little tense for some reason but we are good yeah"

I smiled some and finally looked at him,

"That's good, do you own any other suits by the way?"

He laughed and sighed,

"Yes I do, and how are you and Harry?"

I smiled like a complete dork just from thinking of our interaction this morning,

"Good, he seemed off yesterday but seems like himself again today"

Ben tilted his head some and furrowed his brow before looking at me as we walked out of Auradon Prep and headed around to the courtyard,

"How have you seen him already today?"

I giggled,

"He wakes up early, either he comes to my office or apparently if he gets up early enough to catch me for my fencing practice he'll join me"

Ben narrowed his eyes some with a teasing smile,

"Brielle, students aren't allowed out of their dorms as early as we are"

"And yet I know you won't say anything"

I said with a smile before looking up at him with that same smile. He opened his mouth to say something but I quickly lifted my finger up,

"Nope, you won't say anything"

He took a second before sighing,

"Yeah whatever"

He said in his sigh. I laughed and it came out a bit different, it actually sounded slightly maniacal. Ben raised a brow,

"Been practicing your evil laugh or what?"

I shook my head as we entered the courtyard, Ben beginning to go one way so he could do his little music number,

"Maybe I should!"

I shouted after him as we parted ways. I spotted the VKs from a ways away and began to casually walk in their direction, being stopped here and there by some of the parents including Cinderella and Queen Leah, sometimes I forget how well known I am. Like I forget that I'm a princess to be queen tomorrow when I'm not out actually talking to people like this,

"Oh, Princess Brielle! What a pleasure to see you again"

Cinderella said with her endearing smile as she came up to me, her pesky son at her side for now. Cinderella is lovely, I have no clue what happened with Chad. I smiled and held my hand out for a handshake which she took,
