"Just stress. . . I have been managing the Consort's schedule. It's a bit chaotic but if get through it." I nervously popped my fingers, something I did often to help keep myself focused.
"Well, take a break then. It's chaotic due to the events happening but it will be over soon.. hopefully." He gave me a small smile,
"I think you are doing a wonderful job."
"Thank you" I glanced down at my feet, then back up at him
"Henry?"
His eyes widened at my lack of decorum, me not even realizing that I had neglected to call him prince. "Yes?"
I hesitated, not wanting the words to leave my lips but forced them out anyway, "I think it would best for the two of us if we were to be friends no longer." I bit my lip, my throat started to tighten as my body fought to keep me from continuing, "And as such, I believe this should be the last conversation held between the two of us in private."
