, King Axel asks, fork in hand, with a plateful of mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, and steak.
Hugo looks up at his brother who is waiting for a reply. He got the invitation too. But he's unsure if he will go. Though he is good friends with Desmond and Amber, the idea of a wedding ceremony just bores him immediately.
"Umm, I don't know yet.", he replies.
Axel nods.
"I've heard that Sofia will be there."
Hugo chokes on his food and coughs tremendously. One of the servants came to him with a glass of water in hand. He takes it and gulps the liquid down his throat.
Axel smiles smugly.
"Heh. Knew it. You do like Sofia.""None of your business, Axel."Hugo's brother puts a hand on his chest and pretends to be hurt.
"Ouch, baby bro. Is that how you talk to your brother now who happens to be the king of your kingdom?""Thank you for the food."
Hugo stands up from his chair and walks towards the door out of the dining room.
"Awww. Is that how sensitive you are when it comes to Sofia?", Axel teases.
"Goodnight, your Majesty.", Hugo replies dully.
The king just shrugs and continues with his dinner while Hugo proceeds to his room. His brother didn't say anything bad, it's just that he's been bothered with what he plans to do. Confess to Sofia. But he does not know how. He doesn't know how she will react. Maybe she will reject him. It is a high possibility but it doesn't make him feel any better.
The reason why he hesitates to come is because he's been avoiding Sofia at all costs. The Enchancia Ball, Flying Derby Athlete's Party, and now, the Royal Wedding. He doesn't like what he feels whenever he sees Sofia. He feels vulnerable and weak and with Hugo's personality, that is very unacceptable.
He plops down his bed on his back and releases a big sigh. He stares at the ceiling and let's his thoughts take over.
'Should I go? But if I go, Sofia will be there. Not that I hate to see Sofia. It's just that I hate what I feel whenever I see her. Maybe I should just try not to look at her. But that's impossible. She's too beautiful to not be noticed. I wonder what she'll wear? I'm sure Amber will choose her dress for her but whatever she wears, she's still beautiful. And what am I even thinking about? This is stupid.'Hugo sits up and runs his hands through his hair.
The wedding is happening tomorrow and he needs to make a decision now. No matter how bored he will get, or no matter how much he's avoiding Sofia, it would be very inconsiderate for Amber and Desmond. They are, after all, still his friends. Maybe he should go. He just needs to prepare himself when her sees her.
