"Seriously?" Leia asked suspiciously.

"Yes!" Xavier nodded and held his hand out to her. "It's the perfect time to. Would you like to go with me?"

Leia looked into his eyes and saw sincerity in them. After a brief pause, she nodded firmly. "Okay."

"Let's go then, my princess." Xavier's eyes sparkled in delight, and he acted like a prince leading his beloved

princess to his secret spot. To his surprise, she had actually agreed to his request.

Looks like those pigs were good for something, after all.

After a while of walking, they arrived on the other end of the island where Xavier's cottage was. There was a large

space in front of the cottage where the barbecue was going on, and some people were whispering to each other

while others sang and played guitar. The atmosphere was rather romantic.

"Don't tell me the most beautiful view on this island is this barbecue?" Leia asked in disbelief. She should never have

trusted that trickster Xavier!

"Well, not exactly..." Holding Leia's hand, Xavier gently led her away from the crowd, and they entered the cottage

through a side door.

Leia's eyes widened and she scoffed, "Your cottage? Even the outdoor barbecue is a better option! Can you be

serious for once?"

"Relax, we'll get there soon!" Suddenly, Xavier covered her eyes and turned off the lights.

"Xavier, what are you doing? I'll scream if you do anything stupid!" Leia thought he would kiss her again, and her

whole body tensed up.

At that moment, Xavier removed his hands from her eyes and snapped his fingers. "Look up!"

"Look... Look up?" Her surroundings were dark, but when Leia looked up, her gaze landed on a beautiful starry sky.

Her eyes widened in awe, and she covered her mouth in disbelief. "Oh wow... This is... This is amazing!"

The roofless cottage gave them the perfect view of the stars shining brightly in the night sky. Leia's eyes lit up as

she started counting the stars, smiling excitedly like a child.

"You'll have a better view if you lay here." Xavier led her over to the bed, and was happy when she didn't refuse and

laid down with him.
