When they tell you you’re going to meet a prince this is definitely not what Cecelia envisioned. She was supposed to have a few more hours to prepare for that moment, put on her best act and try to be the best version of herself not… Not this. A confused and embarrassed girl not being able to speak up again and only stare at the boy in front of her. But don’t let this trick you into thinking this is what Cecelia is usually like, because she’s not, this just seemed like a very… important moment in her life. An important moment that she’s probably going to mess up even before the actual important moment happens aka meeting the prince tomorrow like the other selected girls.
Honestly, the hardest part was deciding what the best version of Cecelia meant. She may be one way and act another but what was the smartest thing to do here? Not at this very moment but during her stay at the castle… When you lived one way to protect yourself it might be a little hard to show people who you actually are. Is that something Cecelia will succeed in? Only time would tell, I guess. If she gets that time. [color="#923c1c”]”No,”[/color] she quickly tried to reassure him this was her fault since she did feel bad for doing something this stupid. Her gaze fell down to her heels… And let me quickly tell you this - it was not easy walking in those on grass! ”If I only stayed inside and listened to-” to what? To who? Where was she even going with this? They were obviously free to do whatever they wanted and that probably meant staying inside and meeting, becoming friends with other girls but if you ask Cecelia… If that’s what they were supposed to do then maybe they should’ve been more specific so no, she is not going to take the blame for this.
Bringing her gaze back up to look at the prince, every emotion from her face disappeared. Alright so… This version of Cecelia is going to come out first. Expectable. ”I suppose next time we both should be more careful.” She calmly said, bowing down imperceptibly since she still had some manners and he was a prince after all but didn’t know if it was… She was still just a bit embarrassed by the situation. In that moment she took a few steps back indicating she was leaving, while letting her gaze wander around, disappointed she didn’t get and opportunity to explore the garden. Disappointed this is how her first day went, and only hoping they could forget about it so she can get another chance to properly introduce herself.
