The morning after the wolves’ incident, I was woken up by a soft voice calling the little boy.

- It’s time to go, Chip.

- Just… five more minutes. Please…

- We can’t wait more, Chip. You’re getting worse. You’re hotter than last night.

- What about her?

- She may stay here, resting.

I opened my eyes, and saw the Prince dressing a sleepy Chip.

- Adam… she woke up.

The Prince stopped doing what he was doing and looked at me. Then, he looked at Chip again.

- Bonjour – he said.

- Bonjour – I responded. - What time is it? Cogsworth didn’t come to wake me…

- Of course. Everybody is sleeping. The sun is about to rise.

- What are you doing wake then?

- I’m taking Chip to the village. He’s getting worse. I’ll take him to the doctor, then home.

- I don’t want to go to the doctor.

- Well, you have to – the Prince said, bossy.

Chip grumbled, crossing his arms.

- Okay, let’s go. - the Prince said, taking Chip in his arms.

- Wait, I mut prepare – I said, getting out of bed.

- No, no. You’ll stay here.

- Why? I want to go.

- And I want you to stay here.

- Yeah, I don’t care.

- Yeah, but I’m your boss. And I say you stay here.

I seethed.

- Fine, I’ll stay. But please tell Mrs Potts I’m so sorry about what happened and I’ll go there as soon as posible.

- I will. Please, tell everybody where I am. I’ll be back for lunch.

- Alright. Have a goo journey. And be safe.

- We will. Go back to sleep, [Y/N].

- I’ll try.

I saw them leaving my room, and went to my balcony. There, I saw them get in the horse and ride trough the garden.

- Be careful! - I yelled to them.

They simply waved goodbye to me.

The rest of the morning I spent it trying to calm Cogsworth down once I told him the Prince had went to the village on his own, and cleaning the castle. When I was done, I sit on the stairs of the castle, reading and waiting for the Prince. A few hours later, I heard the horse’s hooves, and got up, seeing the Prince riding into the castle’s garden, heading to the stables. I ran there, and, as he was getting off the horse, I started asking.

- How is he? What did the doctor said? Is Mrs Potts mad? Will he be okay?

- God, woman. Relax – he said, laughing a bit. - Why don’t you have lunch with me and I’ll tell you everything?

- Excusez-moi? - I said, opening wide my eyes.

- Yeah. Come on, I’ll tell Lumière to add one plate.

- A-alright…

He then took my hand, and guide me inside the castle, to the dining room.

- What were you reading?

- Romeo and Juliet…

- Oh, don’t tell me you like romance…

- Well… yes. You don’t?

- I’m more kind of an adventure guy…

- Oh, yes, of course, You go once to the village alone and now you’re a fearless adventurer… - I said, rolling my eyes.

- Kind of, yes. Here, sit – he said, pulling up a chair for me to sit. - I will tell the chef to cook two meals today.

I nodded, sitting and leaving the book in the table. When the Prince entered the kitchen, I let go all the air in my lungs. What the heck was happening? Why was he suddenly so kind?

He step off the kitchen and sit in front of me.

- Everything is ready. Now, what did you want to know?

- Oh, yes. What does Chip have?

- He caught a flu… But he will be just fine, the doctor said we shouldn’t have to worry. He jsut needs to take some medication.

- Can… Can Mrs Potts afford them?

- I told her not to worry about it. I will pay them.

- That’s so kind.

- Yeah, well. Chip was like the little brother I never had, you know? I love that kid. I would do anything for him and his family.

- I see… And what did Mrs Potts said?

- She worried a bit, but she wasn’t mad. She said this things happen, and that you shouldn’t blame yourself. Oh, and she told me to remind you you should eat more. And drink more tea. She says it’s good for health.

I laughed.

- She always told me that whenever Chip got sick and I had spent time with him. She thinks if I drink tea I won’t catch whatever he had. - I explained.

- I know, she used to told me the same thing. By the way, she told me something about you being scared of me…

- Oh, yeah, well, um…

- I understand. I didn’t treat you correctly om your first day. I should’ve welcomed you, and made you feel comfortable. I’m so sorry.

- Don’t worry…

- She always told me you told her I said you were beautiful. Which by the way, I really meant.

- Merci – I said, blushing.

- You’re a little red… Are you sure you didn’t catch the flu? - he said, joking.

- Oh, shut up.

He laughed, resting his chin in his hand.

- I think we could get along. Maybe if you weren’t so… stubborn.

- And if you weren’t so… spoiled.

He raised an eyebrow.

- Am I?

- A bit. But, what can I expect from a prince?

- Well, what can I expect from a villager?

I laughed again.

- I really can’t believe you can joke.

- Me neither…

Our food was served, and we started to eat.

- Hey, [Y/N]. - he said, a bit later.

- Oui?

Barely even friends, then somebody bends
