So this chapter is slightly shorter. I know I have been gone for awhile but that's because I'm struggling with some irl things and combined with my internship its hard to find time for watypad.

I always planned for this to be a short in-between chapter so don't expect too much. It's supposed to be this way!

I hope you understand. Ly!

Draco and the Captain were practising their dueling in the castle. It was heated fight. Blocking and shooting spells. Draco was very good at it. However he seemed to be loosing.

'Wake up, Your Royal Highness. You’re in a daze.'

'I’m sorry.' Draco sighed.

They both got off the practice space and put their wands away.

'You’ve been off since the hunt.'

'It’s that wonderful girl, I can’t stop thinking about her.'

'Well there are plenty of girls.'

There were.. but non of them were like you. He couldn't get your beautiful smile out of his mind.

'But her spirit, her goodness.'

'You don’t suppose she has a sister, do you?'

Draco chuckled. He wished he knew. He would do anything to know you better. That one encounter.. it wasnt enough.

'I don’ know. I don’t know anything about her.'

Saying that out loud kinda made him sad. He wanted to see you so badly. There must be so much more to you.

'Perhaps your mystery girl may come to the ball. That is why you threw the doors open, was it not?'

'Captain, it was for the benefit of the people.'

Of course the Captain knew Draco was lying. Of course he opened the castle hoping you'd come. It was the only way he could ever see you again.

'Of course. How shallow of me.' The captain said sarcastically.

'And if she comes, then what?' Draco asked.

He hadn't thought ahead that far. What would he do when you showed up? You werent royalty..

'Then you will tell her you are a prince, and a prince may take whichever bride he wishes.'

'Ha.' Draco exclaimed right away.

'Ha?'

Draco stopped and turned to him.

'Yes, ha! You know my father and the Grand Duke will only have me marry a princess.'

The captain looked at him and smiled.

'Well, if this girl from the forest is as charming as you say, they may change their minds.'
