State banquets are never really your cup of tea.

Most royal events tend to get a bit boring after some time; while you understand that it’s one of your responsibilities as the heir to the Spanish throne, you sometimes find yourselves wishing you could be doing something other than dress up in expensive dresses and have dinner with a bunch of people you don’t know.

And to make things better, the guests seated in the seats adjacent to yours have all left to go powder their noses or something. Great.

Just as you’re about to melt into a puddle of boredom, someone taps your shoulder.

When you look up, you find a pair of gorgeous, brown eyes staring down at you, paired with the most charming smile ever. Your heart flutters in your chest when he speaks up.

“Is this seat taken?”
