Sara's POV

Dinner with Prince Vincent was nice. Even though I hate to admit it, he had been a gentleman during dinner. And I'm thankful for that.

But even though he had been a perfect gentleman during our dinner, I am still very wary of him. I still don't trust him for I can see that even though he tries to hide it, he still wants to take advantage of me. I know it. But, I also wanted to give him a second chance. Who knows? Maybe I've been mistaken. People make mistakes…and I'm one of the people who always make mistakes and fatal decisions.

I think, no…I know that he is trying to win me over with the use of his smiles and his witty remarks and responses. I can feel it. But he doesn't know that he would never win me over with those. I am not a girl who is easily won over just because a man had many accomplishments. I am not a woman who wants somebody like Prince Vincent…a man who has many accomplishments and plenty of money.

I still have to avoid Prince Vincent…God knows what's in his head. I don't want to know if he is planning something. But if he is…please don't include me in his plans.

Nothing's wrong with him…Really. It's just that…

…he's a little bit proud. Well, not really, 'a little bit' per se...He is very proud. And I don't like that. I like men like Prince Gil…men who are smart, kind, loving, caring, family-man, and of course, men who aren't proud…Unlike Prince Vincent.

Prince Gil…I wonder where he is. I wonder if he'd make it home tonight or if he is injured. How I miss him so. I better stop thinking about him if I still want to get some sleep.

Sighing, I closed my diary. At that particular moment, someone knocked on my door.

"Sara!" said a voice from outside

"Just a minute!" I said

I quickly hid my diary and answered the door. I opened the door to reveal a breathless and panting Dorothy.

"Dorothy! What are you doing? What is it? Why are you panting?" I said

"It's…It's…Prince Gil. He's come back. But he is very sick. The doctor is in his room right now. Prince Gil has measles. Apparently, one of the places they rested in before going to war was full of people with measles. There had been an outbreak where they stayed and Prince Gil is showing symptoms of it. Since measles still doesn't have a cure…Prince Gil is in danger. He might die." said Dorothy

I was shocked. I imagined him injured…but I did not imagine him sick. "Can I see him?" I asked

Dorothy's head shook. "No one can see him unless that person already had the measles when they were young. It has been ordered by the Queen. And since no one here had the measles…the Queen still has to hire someone to take care of Prince Gil." said Dorothy

"That's okay…I've already had the measles when I was young. Don't worry, tell Queen Emily she doesn't need to hire anyone anymore. I'm up to the task." I said

"You aren't lying about having measles in the past are you? Because if you are lying, you better tell me now before I tell the Queen." said Dorothy

"Don't worry Dorothy…I'm not lying. I can take care of Prince Gil." I said

"Okay…then go to Prince Gil's room while I'll go and tell the Queen."

"Alright." I nodded.
