CHAPTER FOUR:
Fred led Daphne to the room with the large glass door. Outside was a balcony, ready for the princess to step out on & have the crown placed on her head. She would then officially The Princess of the kingdom.
"Are you ready Miss Blake?" Miss Crane asked. Daphne realized, it was probably the last time she'd ever be called just "Miss". From now on it would be "your highness" & "princess". She sqweezed Fred's hand tightly.
"Yes." She said. Fred quickly kissed her on the cheek. Hoping no one would see. Daphne blushed.
"Good luck, Daph." He said. Knowing it would probably be the last time he ever called her that. Fred felt sad seeing her get ready to walk out onto the balcony, kissing her normal life good bye & starting a new life. He held back his tears as he saw her walk out, there was a huge crowd of people below the castle watching Daphne's every move. Everyone screaming & cheering. Excited to see her. Once the glass door to the balcony opened, the sound of the crowd was louder than a jet taking off right in front of them. The band started to play as Daphne gracefully walked out onto the balcony. The gaurds right behinde her & in front. She focused on her every step, then tried to keep her gentle smile on.
"Everyone welcome, The new princess, Daphne Ann Blake!" A man shouted to the crowd.
"& now we shall place the crown, to make her the official princess!" He said. The crowd went wild, there were cameras flashing & news casts planes, all going off as Daphne was being crowned the princess. They gently placed the crown on her head.
"& now I give you, Princess Blake!" Everyone shouted with joy & cheered. Daphne gazed over the crowd of people below her. After mintues of waves & smiles Daphne went back inside.
"Now princess, the royal dance party is waiting for you down stairs." Crane said.
"Dance party? All this is too much, I'm really tired." Daphne said.
"Sorry princess but, you must go to the dance, people are counting on you to be there!" Crane said. Daphne sighed.
"Alright, I'll go." She said.
"Good! Now enjoy your time, and Jones, take the princess to the dance safely."
"Yes ma'am." He said holding the princesses hand in his. The two were going down the castle together.
"How does it feel to be royal Daph, Gah I mean Princess Blake." Fred said, making Daphne giggle.
"You can call me anything you want to Freddie, I mean, general Jones." She said teasing him.
"Not if I want to stay out of jail. I could die if I'm caught talking to you, we're always to remain silent." He said.
"Why? I love talking to this one gaurd & I'd be ever so upset if they took him away from me.." Shr said. Fred smiled.
"I'm just lucky enough to get a job where I'm right beside you."
"I'm the lucky one.." Daphne said. They were walking past the large windows when Fred froze.
"Daphne, I can't wait any longer. I don't know what will happen next in our crazy lives, I was going to do this the night we found out about you being a princess, but I couldn't find myself after that. Let's act like this happened back home." He said, Daphne looked at him puzzled.
"Daphne Ann Blake, you've been my best friend for life & I don't ever want to lose you, will you marry me?" He said getting on one knee, Daphne started to cry.
"Oh a million times yes Freddie!" She said hugging him tightly. The two shared their very first kiss together. Suddenly they heard rushing foot steps coming their way. They quickly broke apart.
"Princess! Oh princess, there you are I've been looking all over the castle for you!" A women said.
"Well, here I am, what's wrong?" Daphne asked, still blushing a little.
"It's the kingdom your highness, the rates have gone down another ten percent we need to speak with you, Jones lead her into the royal office." She said.
"Yes." He said.
"Don't worry Daph, everythings gonna be alright." He said
