He smiled and nodded too. There was silence in the air, and before she knew it, he had pulled her closer to him, running his knuckle down her cheek. He stared into her mesmerizing cobalt eyes and brushed his lips with hers, giving her a slow, soft kiss. Before she could react, he pulled his face away and hugged her.
"I will see you next weekend," he whispered in her ear, causing her to shudder.
"Next weekend?" she questioned him, her eyebrows raised.
"Mhm," he said, his hands wrapped around her waist, "You know, for the banquet?"
"What banquet?" she asked him with a surprised look on her face.
He saw that she was genuinely confused.
"I guess you have been so busy that you forgot there will be a banquet in your kingdom this coming weekend," he told her, "Different royals will be there."
"Oh," she parted her lips slightly, "Yeah, I forgot."
"That is also where we will announce our engagement," he added, letting go of her.
