The butler started by intoducing the maidens from different cities and villages
"Lauretta,the daughter of Williams the great....studied Law in the higher institution and is now a well refined and renowned barrister of the law court,you are welcome milady"
"Next on my list we have, Princess Lisa,the first lady of Decresh and the daughter to King Edward and Queen Brenda....She is the CEO of X bank and has taken over the family business"
"The princess of.....
"Lady michelle of.....
The butler inteoduced and when he was about leaving Amelia came in
"Waittttt,sorry I'm late my carriage broke down"
"What is you information milady"the butler asked
"I am Amelia from chenwood village"
"Please let me introduce one last person"
"I thought that was all"Queen Ashley complained
"Who is that,she looks so beautiful and stunning "the others at the ball were whipering
"Lady Amelia from chenwood village"the butler said atlast
"Chenwood?,never heard of it"woman A
"It's probably because the place isn't popular at all which makes her a local girl"woman B who was jealous of the compliments given to Amelia
"Don't be so rude Lady Rosa,the girl is beautiful"Woman C added
"Fine,whatever,what i know is that she is never winning against my daughter"Woman B retorted
"Darling i think Lady Lauretta would make a perfect wife for Alex don't you think, she's beautiful,elegant and most importantly a girl of our class and circle"QueenAshley said
"I think it's best if our son decides who he wants to be with,after all we've made our choices and i see no reason why we shouldn't let him make his"king Roland defended
"Fine he can choose any girl but she must be of our status"
"Ashley....."
"That is final Roland" Queen Ashley said back already feeling angry that her husband didn't support her decision
It was around three when the ball officially begun and Men were asking ladies to dance with them.it was around twelve pm when Amelia last took the pill so she was supposed to take another during four pm so she was still wondering around the palace when she almost tripped on a statue in the hall way
"Careful there Milady" Alex said as he caught her when she fell
"Thank you,i gotta go now" Amelia replied and said again
"Uhm do you have any idea of who the prince is because i have never seen him before"she said staring innocently with her sapphire eyes which complemented her dress.The prince was struck dumb for a moment looking at that eyes and her really cute face
"Hellooooo" Amelia snapped him out of his thoughts
"I don't know who the prince is either maybe you should wait for the proper introduction of the royal household"Alex said
"Very well"Amelia said
When she was about leaving Alex pulled her hand and held her on her waist
"Wha....what are you doing"Amelia said
"Shhh"
"Let me go this instant Mr whoever you are"amelia retorted
"If you shout like that again I'd probably abduct you and no one will notice"he said and bared his fangs at her
"You...you are...let me goooo"
"Okay fine,i don't bite. You are Amelia right from an unknown village i guess"he chuckled
"It's not an unknown village the place is just remote that's all and its called chen wood"
"Alright, alright you win,see you at the dace floor"Alex smirked
"Wha...i don't understand...wait where are you going and what dance" Amelia shouted
"So he just left me here hmmph, what a gentle man"she air quoted and then left for the ball
"Introducing the Royal Family of Grandcrest"
"King Roland the first,Queen Ashley,Prince Alexander,Princess Makayla,and Princess Mia"
The whole crowd clapped and cheered for them while the royal house hold waved at them .
You could see fron the crowd a quite shocking and surprised face and you guessed right it was Amelia
"OMG! I just talked with the prince right now,I was so rude ,is he going to hate me?,is he going to ask the guards to chase me out?"she asked her self nervously
"The King and the queen will now have their dance"the butler then said and then the people made way for the King and Queen
"Music!" The music started and while they were dancing someone was so worried that she forgot that she was supposed to take a pill and after thirty minutes she remembered
"Oh my God the pills!!"she said while rushing to the washroom to take them.prince Alex sighted her and quickly chased after her,and caught up with her quickly
"Where do you think you are going"thinking she was planning to run away
"I wouldn't want to disrespect you Prince Alex but please i need to use the wash room urgently and you are pretty much in my way"she said hastily and Alex was surprised that she was still able to talk to him like that even after finding out that he's the prince
"I will follow you to make sure you don't get aw...."
"NO"she shouted "i mean it's not necessary my prince please excuse me"she said and she left
"You are quite interesting girl i like you already"he said and smirked while walking back to where he was sitted before
The music slowly came to an end and luckily Amelia was out before then so she was able to dance with Alex
"Now the prince shall choose the girl whom he wants to dance with"the butler announced
And then when prince Alex looked over Amelia's side he smirked and Amelia had a bad feeling about it ....Lauretta was right beside Amelia so she was busy blushing thinking it was her that the prince was staring at
"The prince is definitely going for me, i am afterall the most worthy of him"she said a quite loud voice proudly.....some of the other girls where jealous while some didn't even come for the prince and came for the party and the food.....The prince was walking slowly towards Lauretta and she was already behaving like she was on top of the world already until he diverted to face Amelia
"WILL YOU HAVE THIS DANCE LADY AMELIA??"
