MATTERS OF HEART

The palace was in its full glory. Lots of people were moving here and there trying to fulfill the tasks assigned to them,they had only one day left to make all the arrangements for the grand celebration of their beloved Prince's birthday and the announcement of his royal engagement.

Months before when Princess Adora arrived with her friends on Eternia,the rumor mills started grinding on the looks between Prince Adam and Queen Castaspella.

Everyone had watched how fastly the Prince had become close to the Queen. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that after the announcement of Prince Adam's engagement, the kingdom would have a regal and extremely beautiful queen and everyone was happy for the Prince except some ladies of nobility who had wanted to marry the Prince but never got the chance.

Adam was sitting in the courtyard looking all the preparations taking place around him. He suddenly spotted Teela who was instructing the guards. Adam shouted to her and waved to her,"Hey Teela!Come over here."

Teela smiled at him and waved back. After giving instructions, she came near him and sat on the bench on which he was sitting.

"So,whats up?" She asked him teasingly.

"Just nothing. I was free so thought to enjoy fresh air in the courtyard." Adam replied while smiling.

She again teased him" How come you left your lady love? I thought you two were inseparable."

Adam smiled fully and in turn teased her," She is spending time with Mother and Adora trying to get accustomed to the Palace. What about the Captain of the Royal Guard? I have come to know from other people that the Captain has also approached a marriageable age. When will we be hearing the wedding bells?" He finished with winking with her and nudging her shoulder.

Teela frowned slightly and spoke softly," May be never."

Although she had spoken very softly but Adam heard her," Why Teela?You are not going to be confined in the walls of Gray Skull as its guardian so you have a full life ahead of you.I am sure there would be someone out there who will be lucky to have you as his wife."

She smiled sadly," I also have thought about it, this was my point of view when I first saw He Man."

Adam tried hard not to flinch which Teela didn't miss so she added hastily," But later I found out that there is a lot of difference between crush and true love. I realized with time that all I had for He Man was a crush. He is a mystery and will always be a good friend." Then she whispered so that only Adam could hear her," You don't have to worry about it. He Man." She winked at him and laughed loudly at his comic facial expression. Adam also laughed with her and later added seriously," You are also a good friend of he Man and he is honored to have your friendship."

Teela smiled at him and looked in front of her watching other people working.

"So, any contenders for my best friend's heart?" Adam again teased her to lighten the mood.

Teela didn't look at him but smiled sadly and replied," Not yet."

This time Adam frowned at her sadness and felt something getting sad within him.

Before he could stop himself, words were already out of his mouth," Do you like someone already or should I ask has someone managed to get your interest?"

Teela looked at him surprisingly and again turned her face in front of her but didn't answer him.

"Come on Tee! We are best friends and you can confide me in. I will always stand with you." Adam chastised her to get an answer.

After several silent moments, she whispered softly," Yes Adam. There is someone but he is out of reach. So nothing can be done about it. I will see you tomorrow." She suddenly stood up and ran out of the courtyard leaving a shocked Adam behind.

Next evening, all the nobility and royal family was gathered in the Grand Hall. Prince Adam and Princess Adora had just cut the cake and King Randor was addressing the crowd. Queen Castaspella was clinging to the right arm of Prince Adam while Adora was accompanied by Sea Hawk. the masters were also there in their usual attire while Captain Teela had just entered the Hall in her uniform. She had caught a look from Adam and had smiled at him in return but her smile went away when she heard King Radnor's speech," I thank all the people for joining the Royal Family here to celebrate the birthdays of Prince and Princess. Now Adm,will you come up here and introduce your fiancée to the entire kingdom?"

Adam withdrew his arm from Castaspella and smiled at her. Then he went to the steps of the throne and bowed to his parents. After that he faced the crowd and started addressing," I thank all of you for your support,loyalty,love and respect that you have shown for the royal family. I hope you will give the same love and support to the future princess of Eternia too. People of Eternia,I hereby introduce to you the future Princess and my would be fiancée-" He paused for a second and looked at Castaspella and then could see the tensed faces of the crowd so he hurried up to complete his announcement," My fiancée-Teela."
