{ Ehann: }
Chapter 19.
"I heard prince Ehann is going out of the castle today?" Asked the Queen Lutherbale.
"Oh yes, our son has quite the schedule today." The Queen Bruhmont laughed.
The Lutherbale family and the Bruhmont Family all sat in the dining table, all full with happiness and joy- talking about anything and everything.
The kings talking to eatchother and the queens joining into their Convo every few - often. And the prince and princesses all in their own little Convo.
It had only been a few days but the Lutherbale family was already like their own Family.
Everyone was just like one big family.
The Lutherbale family had two prince's and two princess's. Him and the other's wouldn't talk as much at the kings and queens but they would all randomly start little conversations with eatchother.
"What about you Prince Ehann?" A prince of the other family asked.
"Come again?"
"Oh, we're just wondering if you've got anyone special in you're mind" His sister explained.
His eyes slightly widened and his face lightly heated up at the question, without a word coming from his mouth. Why did he feel stuck at the question?
He looked around the table all eyes we're on him, was this question really that important to them? At first, he would say no- no he does not have someone.
But now that he saw that everyone was expecting something other than some plain answer. He didn't know what to say. So he thought of anything quickly.
And he said the first thing that came to him mind.
"Of course."
Really.
Was that the best answer he could have given them? No.
The prince instantly regretted his answer to the question, he couldn't have thought of anything better? Now they wouldn't let him be without bombarding him with questions like-
"If you don't mind me asking, who could it be prince?" Asked the second prince of the other family.
"Could it be a beautiful lady of another kingdom? Or could it be a lovely female commoner of you're kingdom?" He continues.
"Is she as pretty as the moon or as hot at the sun?"
The prince didn't know what to say, he was just, shocked. No words left in his brain to even say that no, he didn't fancy anyone.
"I- ..I will not say a word about them." The prince spoke. Continuing to eat his food.
A word about them. Them? Who them? He didn't even know the answer to his own question.
A thought of Aelius popped on his head again, of how he gave him the beautiful bouquet of white flowers that glowed in the sunset.
How Aelius's eyes looked at him with eager yet loving eyes, it made his face heat up more at the thought of the kiss they we're about to share.
He rested his chin on his hand on the table, looking down at his food. Thinking about everything that's happened to him this week.
Mindlessly, he looked up and locked eyes with Agatha.
Then he quickly looked another way. Fixing his composure in the process. A few minutes had past- but he could still feel her looking at him.
Attempting to avoid Agatha's eyes, he looked at every detail on the table, how the table had this fine dark brown color to it, and how the table cloth was this beautiful shade of maroon.
And the clear vase, filled with white flowers planted in the middle of the table.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Agatha looking at what he was looking, then looking back at him. And finally looking away from him.
The prince felt himself relax as soon as she looked away.
"Hey i have an idea, what if our daughter, Princess Agatha accompanied Prince Ehann when he goes out the kingdom?" Queen Lutherbale suggested.
"Oh that would be wonderful, don't you think Ehann?" His mother questioned.
Then all eyes we're on him again. He looked at Agatha and she looked at him. Agatha smiled at him and lightly tilted her head to the side.
He didn't know what else to say, so all he said was-
"I think that would be nice, of course if the Princess agrees to it aswell."
Then all eyes were on Agatha.
"I'd love too!" She smiled at him. And he smiled back.
After everyone had their good laugh, Timothy tapped on his shoulder and asked if he was done with his food.
"Yes, I'm done." He responded.
Then Timothy and him excused themselves from the table and left. On their way to his brothers office.
He's never really been in Timothy's office mostly because it wasn't ever a place where he would be needed in.
"So you're interested in someone?" Timothy brought up.
The prince glanced at Timothy as they walked, mentally regretting that whole conversation in the dining hall.
Timothy had a bright grin plastered on his face, ready to tease his brother at full volume.
"Of course i do, don't you?" The prince told his brother.
Timothy only stared at him for a moment, for a second- he saw a pained expression on his face.
"You got me." Tim laughed.
"Is it perhaps Agatha? I've seen you two getting closer these few days."
"No no, it's not her."
Then he heard a long sigh after his sentence, he looked at his brother and saw him with closed eyes and head facing down. Ehann tilted his head to the side.
"Why the sigh?" He asked.
And Timothy's eyes looked at him, and his head faced up again.
"I'm just tired these few days. Totally." Timothy awkwardly laughed.
"Too many papers to read and sign is all."
"Oh, okay i get it."
The rest of the time as they finally started to sign and read papers was a headache to the poor prince, most of the time was quiet but in a calming way.
They would strike a few conversations here and then, or sometimes they would just bust out in laughter of how quiet it would get.
It took them an hour and a half to get the paperwork signed and done. Timothy explained how doing these alone would take him two hours instead of one. And they would share a laugh together.
After they were done, the prince walked off of his brothers office and walked to his chamber, to go and change his attire into a new more formal one.
Then he walked off into Agatha's chambers direction, to pick her up from there- so that they could both walk towards the front entrance together.
