Few months later…
Dag was whispering something to the king. Ben was listening to him with a serious face? Sometimes he was whispering something back. Today in the park in front of the castle there was a huge crowd, because today was the festival of spring. And also today was the day when Ben had to announce the day of his wedding with Mal.
The problem was that few days ago they quarreled. They were crying, breaking dishes and so on. Soon Ben calmed down and understood the scale of the disaster. He knew that after a fight Mal needs a few days to finally calm down. But there was no time for that! It could happen that today in front of the huge crowd he will say that the engagement is off. And after that he will convince his princess that everything is alright, but he will be unable to stop the rumors. He wasn't worried about his own reputation, but he could not let reporters follow Mal. The last time it let to the worst consequences that could ever been…
That is why this time Ben decided to ask a piece of advice from his friend. Dag and Evie were together for a very long time, and Ben thought that in could be the best choice. But it turned out that it wasn't a good idea, though Ben still got one or two good advices. And now he was running to his girlfriend to apologize. He was surprised, when he saw Mal who was running towards him. Sometimes she was stumbling because of the high hills. When she almost fell down, Ben helped her to stand straight.
- Ben! I was looking for you! – Smiled she. – I'm sorry! I was wrong!
- No! It's me, who should have said that! I apologize! – Ben hugged her.
- Then just forget everything that I said before. – Murmured Mal. – What you said is enough.
- Okay. – Laughed the king. – So if I am forgiven then can I finally kiss you?
- Well… Okay. – And Mal smiled.
They forgot about everything that was around them. They couldn't stop kissing. The servants were sneaking around trying not to stare at the king…
- So here you are! – Evie appeared out of nowhere. – I understand: you're in love, you want each other, but we should go. That is why you need to stop eating each other and go downstairs. Now!
- Since when you started to act so bossy?! – Mal frowned. But when she saw the look in her friends eyes, she suddenly felt embarrassed. – Okay-okay, we're coming.
Benjamin is a king. That is why he seems so calm though his heart is beating so fast. He needs to be serious, to have an authority… but what he can do if when he is looking at Mal, the world stops and the work doesn't exist anymore?
- And I'm gonna get married in two weeks. – Said he and saw that Mal smiled.
