"And of course you will go along, as phenominal as my brain is, your notes seem to make more sense to me than my own."
He didn't look up from the papers as he spoke, just smiled. The car came to a halt and he folded the papers, slipping them into his inside jacket pocket. He resisted the urge to brush over his hair with his hand, instead he ran his fingers through Charlotte's hair and grinned at her reaction.
"Got to enjoy it while I can."
He got out as the door opened and raised his hand at the cheers and of course a charming smile helped to complete the image of the "perfect prince" although he knew that he was very far from perfect. The guards ushered him and Charlotte to the front of the motorcade, a small girl came up to Donovan, he had been lectured to take the flowers and shake her hand. He smiled at her when she held out the flowers, he took them and gave them to Charlotte, then to everybody's surprise and shock he went down on one knee and gave the little girl a hug, she returned it either out of instinct or habit, countless camera's flashed. He looked into her eyes,
"What is your name?"
"Sophie...uhm...your highness?"
He smiled again and took her hand, from his pocket he pulled a silver rose, inlaid with blue saphire breast pin, he placed it in her hand and closed her fingers around it.
"Hereby I grant you a boon, whenever you need anything from me, you can present this to me."
He winked at her,
"It was good to meet you young Sophie,"
He got to his feet and grinned at the shocked nobility,
"It's like is written in the good book, never let down a child."
He was quite unaware that the little show of affection had almost made him a national cult hero instantly.
