Regina could not ignore a direct request from the Prince, he was also her employer ... But she was on edge. What did he want now?
"What's wrong?" she asked.
“Nothing is wrong. Or rather, I am. Regina, I really don't know how to apologize. I am ashamed of myself. I sent you away twice, without any fault on your part. I wanted to tell you ... come on, let's sit here for a minute, shall we?"
She calmed down, she expected something worse than a further apology, but she still wanted to get back to the cabin ASAP.
“Your Majesty,” she told him, hoping to cut it short, “you've already apologized. That's okay."
He led her to a bench. “No that's not ok. Please, have a seat."
"Ok," she sighed.
They sat down.
"You see," he began, "I ... I have a hard time trusting people, especially women."
