Official meeting

Prince Thane watched her with amusement.

When her dramatic look was complete, Camilla dragged her dress up, made her way to the door, opened it, stepped out, and shut the door behind her.

She was greeted by the sight of Prince Mike, who looked like he had been running before arriving.

Prince Mike's face was etched with concern as he greeted Camilla. "Hi, Camilla," he managed to say, his voice laced with empathy.

"Hi, Mike," Camilla responded, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I was told my mom already told you the bad news," Prince Mike stated, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"She really did," Camilla replied, her voice cracking with sadness.

Prince Mike's expression softened. "Please accept my condolences, my dear friend," he said, opening his arms to offer a comforting hug.

But Camilla took a step back, her eyes welling up with tears. "Not now, Mike," she whispered.
