"There is....a lot of noble ladies here today." Kiana said, while looking at the crowd of nobles. She was invited by Alan to attend his recital at the royal castle, which she agreed since her friends were all coming too. "Mhm, it is Prince Alan's recital after all." Sophia replied back from beside her. "ohh I see." Catarina replied back. "Good evening!" Rapheal appeared in front of them. "I see you're all here too." He said once again. "Good evening president" Keith said as he and Catarina both smiled at Rapheal. "It's nice to see you during our break." Kiana said while giving a gentle smile at him. "I'm happy to hear that." Rapheal said, before the lights in the room dimmed, except a certain spot on the right side.
Everyone looked over in curiosity, seeing Alan playing the piano gracefully. Kiana stared in amazement, along with the others, at how charming he looked and how he was perfectly playing all the notes. Alan was playing with his eyes closed, as the noble ladies all stared in awe while blushing. Kiana also watched in awe, she was impressed at his piano skills. Alan suddenly opened his eyes, making direct eye contact with Kiana as her eyes widened. Her eyes sparkled from the lights above Alan and Alan couldn't stop staring at her while playing also. He gave her a gentle smile, before closing his eyes back again.The sweet melody of his piano rung throughout the castle, leaving everyone in a daze. He finally stopped playing and everyone clapped. "These are for you Alan, what a wonderful performance!" Mary said, handing Alan a bouquet.
"Yeah, thanks." He said, taking the bouquet. "This is for you too, you played amazingly." Kiana said, also handing him a bouquet she bought. Alan smiled at her and she returned it, before he took the bouquet in his arms. "I've never heard you played this song before, may I know the name?" Kiana asked with her hands clipped together. "Oh, this was my first time playing it. It's called, 'for you, my beloved.'" He replied. Catarina suddenly came in and said, "Ohh so you played it while thinking about the person you love?" Alan seemed caught off guard and looked at Kiana for a second, before looking back at Catarina. "T-that may be, but...it's not like I love her exactly!.." He said, trying to dodge the true answer.
"Prince Alan, the ladies are waiting for you over there. Shouldn't you go and see them now?" Mary said, which Alan replied with, "R-right..I guess so. Wait! Kiana-" He saw Kiana walking away to get food and called her name, which made her turn around. "Hm?" Alan walked over to Kiana, before scratching his nape awkwardly. "Do you...do you want to be my dance partner?" Alan asked, as he extended his hand towards Kiana. Even though she could feel some eyes towards her and him, she ignored it and placed her hand on his palm. "It would be my pleasure, Prince Alan." Kiana said, which made Alan blushed. "Oi! I told you to just call me by my first name.." He said while pulling you towards the dance floor. "Yeah yeah, but we're in your castle! Of course I'll have to call you as 'Prince Alan' so I'm not seen as impolite!" Kiana said while giggling.
The lights dimmed as Alan placed his left hand on Kiana's waist and lifted her right hand up with his right hand. Kiana placed her left hand on Alan's shoulder, before they started dancing to the slow melody along with the other pairs. "I've never dance with you until now, correct?" Kiana said as she followed Alan's steps gracefully and gently. Alan nodded and replied with, "I didn't knew you were good at dancing too.." Kiana shook her head at him while giving him a side smile. "I'm a lady! Of course I know how to dance properly." Kiana replied, before Alan twirled her around and extended his arm. Then he pulled her back into his chest as they continued dancing. "..This is peaceful." Alan said, staring directly into Kiana's eyes, who did the same. "...Indeed." Kiana replied, before giving Alan a closed eye smile. The lights came back and the crowd cheered at the pairs who danced.
Kiana and Alan stopped dancing and bowed at each other. "I wish to dance with you again...my prince~" Kiana quickly whispered into Alan's ear before walking over to the food isle, leaving a totally flustered Alan who was covering his red face with his hand.
