Aaron was inside practicing on the piano. He went from scales to a moon light sonata. You could feel the emotion he put into the music and dedication he had for it. Once done he started playing Chopin happily.

Charm, wandering past the music room and heard the sound of piano music drifting out. The door was swung open, and she stepping into the light, hoping to meet another selected. Instead, Prince Aaron sat at the piano, a smile upon him face. Charm began to back up, but paused. He looked so happy. Was this the prince she would get to know? The prince as he when he wasn't in the spotlight?

Once the song was over he looked around to figure out who opened the door. He jumped a bit seeing it was one of the selected. "H..hi " he seemed to studer. He stood up and smiled. "Its nice to meet you".

Charm gaped for a moment, caught. Then curtsied hasily.
"You're highness," she gasped, "I'm so sorry to intrude. I was just walking past and... I'm so sorry." color flooded her cheeks.

((gotta go, I'll be back later))

"No its fine. You didn't do anything wrong i was just startled that someone was watching. And Aaron is fine Charm is it?" He tried to sound reassuringly.

((Roger) )

Charm stood, surprised by the prince's kindness.
"Yes, my name is Charm. Thank you... Aaron."
Charm hadn't imagined that the prince would be so normal. Royalty was always so vague and untouchable in stories and tv.

"Sorry if i was interrupting your adventures around the castle. I tend to get a little carried away when i start. Could i help you with anything ?" He asked happy to help anyway possible.

"Oh, no!" Charm said at once. "It was beautiful! I've never heard such lovely music!" Charm looked down at her outburst. She just couldn't keep herself together. "Thank you for the offer, but the only think I can imagine is if you might forgive me for interrupting you."

"I forgive you then. " he blushed at the compliment "Would you like to hear another? I mean if your not busy that is." He said sitting back on the piano bench to flip to a different page of music.

"Oh," Charm gasped. "Yes please!"
Watching as Aaron flipped the pages, Charm saw just how advanced the music was. She'd only seen a few music books in a bookstore once, but this one was more complicated then those. The staffs were crammed with complicated notes, zagging up and down. Charm got a headache just imaging trying to play it.

He took a deep breath before playing Liszt - La Campanella. He kepted a steady tempo as one note after another was played. He smiled through it even though it was quite a difficult peice but he zoned out into his on little world. When the peice was over he turned towards her as if to ask something but stayed quite.

Charm clapped, amazed by Aaron's talent.
"That was amazing!" Charm exclaimed. "How long have you played for?"

"I've played since i was little. Its always been a passion of mine . And thank this peice took months to learn but i did choose a hard peice so its partly my fault. How about you? Do you play any instruments? "

"It's good you challenge yourself." Charm smiled. "No, no instruments for me. My mother tried to hire a violin tutor for my sister and I went we were ten, but my sister scared him away." She laughed at the memory. "She threatened to snap both of their necks. She did it on the day we butchered our chickens, so she was a bloody mess."

"Thats unfortunate. I always enjoy a good violin solo. Could you tell me more about your family? You don't have to but i always wondered what life was like outside the castle. "

"I don't mind." Charm smiled. "My parents always push me to be my best. It's honestly suffocating sometimes, but I would never admit it to them.
"My sister, Grace, and I are twins. We aren't very much alike. She's bolder than I am. I wouldn't have dared to threaten the tutor!" Charm laughed. "She's my best friend. I'm kinda shy, but she's always there.
"And then Chivalry. He's the listener. Everyone goes to him with complaints. He doesn't fix them, but he listens and that's half the solution."

Charm smiled, made happy by memories. "What about you? What's your family like?"

"My sister, Grace, and I are twins. We aren't very ..."

((Oof-))

"Pretty good but can be stressful at times. I know were all trying to move forward but its been different after dad died. But we can move past it. Angelina came back from a trip Dylan and rose are happy and mom is keeping buys but family is family."

"I can only imagine." Charm said. "I'm sorry about your dad. We all miss him." They sat in thoughtful silence.

((sorry, I'm running out of ideas))

((Oof what? Should I keep it shorter?))

((Its fine))
"Thanks i appreciate it. " he looked at his watch. "Its about time for dinner. Would you care to join me?" He asked trying to break the silence

((What should we do now? Should Charm say yes, and we hit pause until dinner, or should she make an excuse?))

((Anything is fine with me) )

((Wow, you're so helpful😂))

"Thank you so much," Charm said, "but I have to go find my cat. He was suppose to arrive after me and I want to make sure he made it safely to my room."
Charm stood with a smile. "It was a pleasure to meet you."

"Then i won't keep him waiting. Have a great rest of your day." He smiled and waved. Happy he got to spend some time with her.

Charm curtsied at the doorway.
"You too. I'd love to hear you play again sometime."
Charm left, feeling surprisingly giddy.

Aaron went back to playing. The sound filling the empty room. He smiled as each measure got more complex and funner to play. As the song ended he started playing a lullaby he wrote.

Angelina walked in and paused to listen to her brother playing. She smiled faintly and stood in the doorway watching until the song ended. "You still play too?" She asked him walking over

"Yeah. Things are a little stressful with the selection going on. Im scared ill make a wrong decision and end up ruining everything. " he stopped playing and scouted over on the piano bench to make room for her.

Angelina sighed, "I felt the same way during my own." She says. She smiles when he scoots over, taking the seat next to her brother. Angel plays a few notes and turns to him. "I'm positive you'll get the hang of things."

"I hope so. I did end up meeting one of the girls earlier her name was charm. Very kind and considerate. " he started a easy tune that Angelina could play along with.

"That's nice." She says smiling at the thought of her brother finding happiness. Angelina played along with her brother. "I've missed you guys." She tells him. "The tour was tiring, but I really did appreciate you coming to see me yesterday. I'm sorry for the way I acted."

"Its fine and i enjoyed your back. It means i can talk through all my problems with someone other than myself. " he said smiling as he started something more complex to compliment Angelina's part.

Angelina nodded. She suddenly realized that she never had been close to her little brother. "I'm actually sorry for the way that I'm always acting. I guess I just miss the way things use to be" She mumbled

"Its fine. We're here now and that's what matters. Our past is ruff and we have had hardships but we can move forward. " he smiled and looked at her "Plus you were busy so i understand. "

Angelina nodded a smile playing on her lips, "Thanks for understanding." She says turning back to the piano. She had been playing the instrument as long as she could remember, but along the way she guessed she forgot her little brother did also.

"Could i switch instruments? I found a peice of music you wrote for the piano and i wrote a duet for it on the violin. " he stood up and walked to a music stand that he left the music on. "It was really pretty and the chorus was amazing. "

"Sure." Angel answers. She stops playing and waits for him to come back with his violin. 'I wonder where he found it'

((Off for the weekend! This is my last post.))

((Roger) )

After giving her the music he picked up a violin and started playing a small scale to warm up. "I asked a maid if they had any of your old music when you left. She was very helpful. " he smiled and waited for you to start.

Angelina grimaced, remembering the last time someone went through her things. Their little sister Danielle wasn't too happy about what she had found. She sighed but started the piece to the song. It was a fun, silly tune. She had wanted to turn it into a song when she first began to write it, but she just couldn't find the words to. So until then it was just a piano piece.

((I'm back.))

He played along with a smile. He zoned out into the music and played to his own acored. As the song came to the end he slowly came back to reality realizing he forgot that the piano was the feature of this song not violin. "Sorry got a little lossed in the music. "

Angelina shrugged, "Its fine. It happens to me sometimes too"she says. "I should be going anyway. I have to apologize to Rose and Dylan for the way I was acting." Angelina sighed and rose from the piano seat, "I just hope they forgive me" She mumbled

"They will. If not I'll talk to them until they do." He put his violin down. "Have a good rest of your day and thanks for the pep talk. "

Angelina gave him a small smile before heading out
