"sophie." howl said as he stepped into the hat shop. "sophie!" he called out for his beloved lover as the royal guards followed behind him.

fanny looked at the prince and yelped as she went to go fetch her stepdaughter from her room "ah-! please wait just a moment your majesty! sophie is still getting ready she slept quite late yesterday you see" she stepped up the stairs.

when sophie finally came down howl smile brightens up and she ran to hug her as she was running down the stairs "there you are! oh sophie i have a big problem!" the panicked prince said holding sophie's hand

"my father- he said if i do not get married by next year then he'll be the one to find a bride for me!! please get marry me!!"

the customers looked at the two in shock, the prince of kingsbury...proposing to a commoner?? in such a hurried and unromantic way too.

"please...sophie i'll tell my father that you're a princess from another kinggdom!! he won't know a thing about you being a commoner!"
