"Good morning, Prince Celino," Beryl said a bit shakily as she stood in the mirror. A soft smile spread on her lips as she thought about him. She blushed as she thought about his adorable smile. She wrapped her jacket around herself and headed to the garden where he always seemed to be. Upon arriving at the garden she spotted Cira sitting by the river.
"Cira," Celino called out to her as he rushed toward the river. Cira turned around and smiled at Celino. She jumped to her feet and stared at him. A gentle smile spread across her face as she began running away from him. "Cira," Celino stopped in his tracks and stare at her slightly confused.
"Chase me," she giggled as she continued to run. Celino nodded and began to pursue after her laughing. She ran in-between some trees and hid from Celino snickering quietly.
"Cira," he called out to her in a playful voice, "where did you go, darling?" Beryl felt her heart race as he approached the spot where she was hiding. Beryl emerged from behind the trees and smiled at Celino.
"Hello, Prince Celino," she smiled softly at him. Celino nodded and greeted her back kindly. A nervous Beryl began twiddling her thumbs. "Prince Celino," she whispered, "I… um…"
"Beryl," he smiled, "did Cira come running pass here?" Beryl rolled her eyes at the mention of Cira's name. Beryl shook her head and shifted her weight from her left foot to her right foot. Celino nodded and continued staring at Beryl feeling a bit uneasy.
"Celino," Beryl stammered, "I… I…" Cira wandered back to the last place she had seen Celino unsure of where he might have gone. In the midst of the trees she saw Celino and a red headed lady. She eased closer to them so she could hear their conversation. "I love you," Beryl finally whispered. She smiled up at Celino gently. A sudden movement in the background caught Celino's eye. He watched as his blonde haired sweetheart dashed away from them.
"Cira," he called to her and began to chase after her. Beryl watched as Celino vanished from in front of her eyes. She followed behind him quietly. Down by the river she saw Cira and Celino talking with each other.
"She said she loves you," Cira said as she stared at her lover.
"But I didn't say it back," he said as he grabbed her hands and pulled her close, "my heart only beats for you, Cira. I love you." Shocked expressions appeared on Cira's and Beryl's face.
"I love you, too," Cira whispered as she allowed him to hold her close. Beryl shook her head forcing back her tears and dashed back to her home. Fire flickered in her eyes as she thought about the two of them together. She stared up at the picture of Celino that hung above her bed.
"How dare you, Celino," she screamed at the picture before bursting into tears, "how dare you?"
