Back into their former lives, Tiana became the hard working waitress dreaming & saving money for a restaurant of her own & Naveen threw himself into the royal luxuries.
Two months later.
The restaurant door was opened & Charlotte walked in.
'Good morning, Tia honey.' She sat in a nearby chair 'How are you?'
'Not so good. Mom became sick again.' Tiana replied serving the order on the table 'It's my newest invention.' She tried to smile. Then she noticed that Charlotte's always smiling face was sad. 'What happened, dear?' she put her arm around her shoulder.
'Prince Naveen is back to Maldonia.' Charlotte was about to cry 'All my hopes are gone.'
'I hope one day you'll of course get your prince Charming.' Tiana tried to console her.
'Oh thanks.' Charlotte hugged her best friend.
Suddenly she noticed the golden chain around Tiana's neck. On the locket of that chain there was the royal symbol of Maldonia.
'Where have you found it?' Charlotte widened her eyes 'This chain belongs to Prince Naveen himself.'
Tiana tried to cover the chain with her hands. Suddenly she felt colour on her cheeks.
'It's not the real one.' She mumbled 'It's only the replica.'
But Charlotte gave her a doubtful look.
Suddenly the restaurant door opened again & a little boy ran inside. He was the son of Tiana's neighbour.
'Tiana, you must come home now.' He panted 'Your mother is fainted in the bathroom.'
Blood drained away from Tiana's face. 'Oh, mom!' She gave a faint cry & then followed the boy.
Meanwhile in Maldonia, Prince Naveen & King Galvaneo were talking in an unofficial meeting in the royal garden.
'I like to share some royal duties with you dad.' Naveen said. King Galvaneo gave him a surprised look.
'You!' he widened his eyes ' Strange! I hope you are not joking.'
'I'm not.' Naveen said in a bold voice 'I really want to do something for my people. Just give me a chance.'
King Galvaneo watched his son for a moment. His fun loving, carefree son had changed dramatically in these months. He didn't know the reason but really liked this change.
'Well, then take the responsibility of the home ministry.' He patted Naveen's shoulders 'But remember you must work hard for it.'
'I'm not afraid of working.' Naveen smiled with a determined face.
'It's also new in you.' King Galvaneo raised his eyebrows.
