Chapter Seven:

In Which the Frog Prince Croaks into Action

A few weeks later

The carriage carrying Larue and Victor rolled out of the courtyard of the Arthurian palace. I watched it go as I leaned against Medwin. They had actually stayed longer than I had originally expected, all because they wanted to reassure themselves that I would be all right. But now, they had to go to Morganna to pick up Victor’s brother, Philippe, and then start their new life together, back in Merlinia.

It was strange, but even if I’d only known them for a short time, I would miss them a great deal. Even so, I had no regrets. They were the last real connection I had with Merlinia, but my homeland would always live in my heart. Right now, my place was in Arthuria, with Medwin.

“And I will forever be grateful for that,” Medwin whispered as he kissed my cheek.

He took my arm and guided me into the palace. His brother Leonard fell into step with us. “So, what now?” he asked me. “When are you going to make an honest man out of Rapunzel, brother?”

My face flamed with embarrassment, and I released a startled noise that really didn’t sound all that human. Medwin glared at his brother. “Please refrain from saying such things in public. As the future Arthurian king, you need to have more restraint.”

Leonard didn’t seem at all fazed by Medwin’s chastising words, but then, I was quickly growing to realize that few things shocked him. “Ah, yes, but it is my duty as an older brother to make note of these situations. After all, we only want what’s best for both you and Rapunzel.”

By “we,” I gathered that he meant the royal family. I gripped Medwin’s arm a little tighter, very much aware of Leonard’s gaze scrutinizing me. “It’s much too soon for us to discuss it,” I told the Arthurian heir apparent.

Leonard released a thoughtful hum and fell silent. I would have actually been a little more nervous, but I knew he liked me. I’d actually grown pretty comfortable with Medwin’s family in the past few weeks, which was why my Merlinian friends had deemed it safe to leave in the first place. More importantly, my relationship with Medwin had evolved a great deal. Since the day I’d surrendered my body to him, we’d become so much closer. The mental bond between us was an unexpected gift, and thanks to it, we had a far greater understanding of each other.

Because of this, I realized all too well that Medwin wanted to take our relationship further. However, there were secondary factors that complicated the matter. Medwin had just been engaged to someone else entirely, and another wedding would make Arthurians confused and nervous, especially since I was Merlinian. Not to mention that I still wasn’t sure how my father would react to this whole thing. Likely, Leonard knew all this, which was why he must have asked Medwin about it in the first place.

“Well, in the end, you can take all the time you need,” he said.
