Three days before our scheduled trip to Cordova for the princess' birthday, preparations have been done as usual to totally prepare me for my second encounter with the king.
I am fully aware that the previous meetup wasn't as smooth as what we'd hope it to be. Going back on that incident, you can't also blame me for panicking a little. It was my first time going out in the public as the fake prince, and then the invitation was so sudden we barely had time to prepare.
But now… I will make sure that there'll be no mistakes this time! Well, I'll try to be more careful, that is.
"You are stuttering a bit…" Lucas interrupted me from reading a written speech by him and looked at me with those worried eyes of his.
"Is there something bothering you, lately?" he added.
"Well, it's just that…" I tried to explain in a much better way but also feeling reluctant to express my thoughts. "... I am a bit nervous to face the king once again, that's all."
