He was far too wonderful to stay single for much longer and, being the prince he was, it was better for him to find his princess rather than having his parents forcing one on him, right? No need for another story of unhappiness.

"But I'd still prefer if you'd call me by my first name, sir," She told him. "Miss Roscoe sounds... I don't know... Strange and too formal," She nodded before realizing what she had just said. Oh dear, too formal? He had to be formal! He was royalty for goodness sake! "Oh, I mean, if it must be like that, then I understand, of course, but I'd really rather if you didn't call me that," She blurted out quickly, the red colour coming back to her face yet again.

Great. She had just insulted a prince. That was just great.

Kingston stared at Melina for a few moments as if she had three heads, but then he soon burst into laughter. Why this child was exquisite! She thought that by calling her by her last name seemed too formal! Why it was how things were done properly in his community. He would understand why the girl wasn't used to hear herself being called by her last name. It was after all normal to him and Miss Hopton.

"Do stop, my dear." Kingston wheezed, wipping a tear away with his finger. "Oh my, that was quite a funny thing Mis--I mean Melina. I do understand that by calling you by your last name bothers you so. After all, I do hate being called King or Kingsy as my girlfriend seems to insist," he grumbled the last few words. "Although, I will make sure that in the future I shall call you by your given name. "
