I'm back! Miss me?
I'm really sorry it's been over a month since I last updated! Between starting classes and writer's block, I've been busy. Updates from now on, will come when they can. I have two studio classes that will take up a LOT of time, and a short story writing class. So, maybe, that's why I went for a short update, but I think you'll enjoy it. (For the record, these aren't all my classes. Though it would be nice!)
Okay, I finally was able to write something for Wilfred! For those of you who wanted to hear from him, your questions can be (hopefully) answered, and possibly have more after this. It was difficult for me to get inside his head, so hopefully he doesn't seem too OOC. If he does, let me know. And I know this is really REALLY short for me, but I didn't want to do a whole lot in his perspective. Plus I wanted to give you an update because you've been patiently waiting.
So please enjoy, Read & Review! Pretty please!;D
(Earlier)
Boring. I continue reading one of the many official documents on my desk. My head starts hurting, so I take off my glasses and look out the window to the garden. There I see her. Phoenix. She is hugging one of the butlers to King Eric of Noreric.
I feel a small pain in my heart at the sight. She looks the happiest I've ever seen her. Why hasn't she smiled like that before? She should smile like that more. Her face truly lights up. I didn't think she could be any more beautiful, yet she keeps proving me wrong everyday.
I watch as the butler motions to the items in his arms, and see Phoenix light up even more. While she's here, at least once, I want to make her smile like that, I think in determination. Though, what is this feeling inside of me, from seeing her with other men? It's quite peculiar. I've never felt this way before.
I turn away from the window and sit back at my desk, trying to focus on work. I get through a couple more documents, before I start to feel hot. I'll just open the door to the balcony a crack to let the cool air in.
As soon as I crack the door open, a refreshing breeze wafts into my office. That's better. I return to my seat and work. I only get halfway through the current document, before hearing voices.
"But you just got here." Phoenix says sadly.
"Sorry. I'm just glad I was the one to get to come and see you." I hear a male voice, probably the butler, say.
"Did you and Onni rock, paper, scissors over me?" She asks knowingly.
"Umm... Well... yes." The butler admits.
She laughs. She has such a beautiful laugh. "It's sad how well I know you two after so little time together." She says happily.
"Yes, but it was to be expected. In our situation, it happens eventually. Though, we didn't expect it to happen so soon." The butler answers her. "I'll go take these to your room. I'll be back momentarily."
In what situation is it expected for a butler to fall for a girl with connections to his king? Could they be seeing each other? Wait, he has a brother, so are they both trying to win her heart? It sounds that way... but it's not my concern. I tell myself sadly, looking at the various plants on my desk that Phoenix has been taking care of. They look so much more lively under her care. … Everything seems more interesting with her here. What will happen when it comes time for her to leave? I feel extremely saddened by that thought, and shake it away. No need to worry about that yet. For now, she's here, and I should enjoy the time I have with her.
Four knocks sound at my door. "Come in, Claude." I say.
Claude enters looking a little surprised about something, but soon masks it. "You need to start getting ready for the press conference, Your Highness."
I nod, and stand from my desk. I glance over my shoulder and see Phoenix farther in the garden, with the butler again. She's smiling, and I feel the resolve I had earlier.
I'll enjoy my time with Phoenix, and get to know her better, so I can make her smile like that.
"Coming, Your Highness?" Claude asks staring at me, a little confused.
"Yes." I turn to him, then walk out of my office to get ready for the press conference.
Okay. That was all I got. How'd I do? Is he too OOC? Or somewhat close? Let me know in a review!
***Question: (Answer in review or PM me; whichever works for you) Would you rather my next update be for this story, or should I update a chapter for Phoenix and the Beast next?***
