At Palace Hall:All the people dispersed themselves as soon as the king entered into the palace. Even the officials who walked behind us left to their respective duties after greeting the prince only leaving us family giving some family time.
Alexander seazle, the emperor sat at the head of the table , Aeins.h.i.+a and prince sitting on either sides while Andrew Rutz, Master of the Rutz family and his son Feliz Rutz sat on the adjacent sofa.
"You are late than the expected time. Did you find any difficulties in your journey? ", the emperor raised his eyebrows in a question manner.
" We got affected by the weather ", he replied curtly. It was almost middle of the winter and this year temperature dropped down drastically in City Valencia which delayed their travel.
Alexander seazle nodded his head in acknowledgement, " Relax for a bit and get ready for the welcoming party".All of them talked for some more time about the prince"s stay in city Valencia.City Valencia had the best Inst.i.tute in the whole continent. So,many of the prince"s went there to study to enhance both their skills and brain.
After finis.h.i.+ng the talk the emperor turned to Aeins.h.i.+a, "My sweetheart, shall we go for a walk in the east garden. I even made them prepare Genoise cake and strawberry cake for you to eat".Just while speaking to Aeins.h.i.+a Alexander"s att.i.tude turned 360 degress. He is more like seeking her permission to spend time with her than asking her to join in.
Aeins.h.i.+a smiled wide at her uncle as she felt all of it amusing, she didn"t remember such a scene to happen in her past life. Probably, he really wanted to spend some time with her now.
"Lead the way Mr. Seazle", saying it she stretched her hand for him to take in which was happily held by the emperor. Everyone knows this uncle and neice pair behavior, so they didn"t really mind it.
Prince Evan felt a tinge of jealousy for his father but he really can"t help it. Both of them are very close as though they are lovers who can"t be seperated even if G.o.d wants to. So it"s impossible for him to enter between them. So he decided to take it slow. So slow that she doesn"t even realize when she fell for him and when she finally realizes by that time she is already fallen hard for him in such a way that she can"t live without him.
Imagining it he gave a wide smirk and by the time he jolted back to the reality everyone already left this wide hall except him.
"Enough of this daydreaming. Only actions no more words", thinking it he left to his chambers.
.....
At the party:
The party was held in Suns.h.i.+ne palace. The palace was filled with guests and beautiful girls. The Hall began to fill as many people came to see the prince while some others wanting to catch the eye of prince.
Todays banquet was not extravagant but it sure is something about which people might talk for months.
The Mediterranean-themed decorations gave a clean and serene simplicity that"s universal in appeal. It created a relaxed appeal in all-white s.p.a.ces with gray undertones.
All the furnitures looked magnificent showing the art of its crafter. Chattering of people and their lively conversations made the place halls look even more livelier.
Soon smell of delicious foods wafted in the air showing the most delicious foods provided in the palace by the perfect chefs in there.
Every thing was ready. The very moment making everyone to wait in antic.i.p.ation was about to come. The first official appearance of the prince.
The doors busted open. Princess Aeins.h.i.+a and the Emperor came down holding hands. Seeing it was not prince many girls felt disappointed, but they can"t show it in the emperor"s face, so they managed to keep that smile on their faces.
Soon after them descending the stairs the prince entered wearing a blue dress to fit Aeins.h.i.+a"s sapphire blue dress.
(Looks like he sure is desperate to make her fall in love this time) -author.
He looked like G.o.d himself craved him just like a finely made jade piece. He sure has an attractive appearance. He was tall, well built, and masculine with fair complexion. The most attractive part of his body was his face. One can"t dart away their eyes from him and the longer one saw him, the more one could like him. He was very pleasing to eyes. His hair black and smooth.The way his fingers ran through his silky locks made him look hot. Descending the steps he looked like an angel descending from heaven.
Only G.o.d knows how many girls might get heart broken in future by getting rejections from him. No wonder if they propose him right now claiming it"s love at first sight. Beauty sure creates problems.
He went and sat by the emperor. Soon people from other kingdoms and officials started to gather around them. Feeling suffocated Aeins.h.i.+a left the emperor side and went to sit at a silent place.
"wow... it"s peaceful here. So noisy, I thought I might die due to suffocation if I stayed there even for a minute more", Aeins.h.i.+a heaved a sigh of relief understanding silence is golden.
After what felt like an hour prince Evan finally got rid of others and went to search for her. It"s time for first dance and he want to dance only with her.
"Beautiful lady, can I have your first dance? ", he asked stretching his hand for her to accept.
" But I...I don"t know how to dance", she told a lame excuse. Of course both of them danced together for every banquet in past. So she could perfectly dance in pace with him even closing her eyes.
"Take it as an opportunity to learn dance", he gave a broad welcoming smile. He is not the type to back down easily. Knowing his nature, she eventually gave in.
Prince Evan took her to the centre of the stage and immediately the first song started to play.
Placing one of his hands on her shoulder and the other on her slender waist he began dancing. Both of them danced together minding each other"s pace. Not slow, not fast just according to the beat. They looked like a match made in heaven.
Many elders thought they will make a good couple while many girls eyes turned green with envy as they eyes her.
"And I thought someone don"t know how to dance", he throwed her dialogue back at her seeing how well she danced.
" I am just following your lead", she replied telling how good he is at making others to learn easily.
"Smart", he told and happy seeing her giving back answers for him.
He liked it, the whole situation, just she dancing and talking to him made him feel like the whole world was revolving around him.
" You look beautiful in this dress".For the first time in this life he complemented her.
"You too my prince", she smiled at him. " Wow... everything was like before. Each word that came out of his mouth, his behavior, everything she is experiencing now was what she experienced before. Since she know everything that happens this means in this lifetime she thought she can really change her fate.
"My prince"..... it made his heart to beat rapidly once again.
"Prince Evan... Are you free for your next dance".
As soon as the first song ended pretty girls queued up a line to dance with him. Evan didn"t know how to respond. He can"t reject them on their face nor he don"t want to dance with others. What a dilemma I"m in!!!
