"No my prince, I am not happy, because you still don't seem to 'get it' at all." You have already forgiven the prince, and have moved past anger. There is only disappointment now, so much squandered potential.
"Oh boy, here we go" the prince rolls his eyes and awaits another lecture.
You speak, with a deep sadness, from your heart "My prince, do you really believe that if I had suspected you poisoning my cup, I would have swapped it with yours? That I would ever knowingly take an action that could cause you harm?" You shake your head
"Do you doubt me so much? My prince, there is no piece of me that I would not sacrifice to keep safe even a single strand of the golden hair on your head."
You catch the prince off tilt, its not what he was expecting to hear. "Well, I suppose I may have- I guess papa wouldn't have picked you if you would-. Its doesn't matter, yes I see that now. You are my body guard after all…"
He seems more embarrassed then anything. Unable to handle the situation, he seeks to escape. The prince turns, to abruptly leave.
You reach out and take hold of his hand, unwilling to let things end while there are still words that need to be spoken.
"My prince, I forgive you for poisoning me. I cannot forgive you for poisoning yourself. If anything would have happened to you…"
The prince turns to you with a face of a trapped coyote, he is desperate to escape. Yet without any force at all, you keep him frozen in place. You look deep within his eye, and let him have it.
"Can't you see, just how much I care about you?"

The boy simply stares back into your eyes, searching for something. His hand is so soft compared to yours. The prince's heart is starting to beat so quickly, you can feel it in his palm. It seems as if he wants to say something, but is at an uncharacteristic lose for words.
So, instead, in a sudden flurry of slaps onto your hand he escapes your weak hold. Then, he walks off. Soon after, he runs.
Unfortunately, you are forced to spoil the moment by running in pace after him.
