Princess Ellen turned around to face him, she reach out and took off his mask. She did not know why but from the moment the prince had told her he liked her she was no longer scared of him.
She boldly took off his mask and looked into his eyes. "I think I have learned to like you too," she confessed. Since the prince had opened up she did not see the reason not to tell him how she felt.
The prince was stunned by her statement. In his wildest dream, he never thought of the princess liking him so soon, that is if she ever got to like him at all.
He looked into her eyes and searched for any trace of fear, he wanted to be sure she was not lying to him but the princess's gaze was firm and calm. He could see that her eyes looked sincere.
He was so happy that he did not know how to react. He unconsciously tightens his hands around her waist, he did not want them to waste this moment. This causes the princess to cry out in pain.
