Chapter 3

"Welcome Princess Wanda of Sokovia. Prince Pietro. King Django, Queen Magda. We are so pleased to welcome into our kingdom." Said the previous King of America.
"Our lovely maid, Maria here will show your chambers." Joseph continued as he pointed to a maid, with mid length almost black hair.

"Thank you Joseph." King Django said as they began to follow Maria.

Joseph than began to walk back toward the great hall, were he was greeted with sight of his Wife, Son, James, Winnifred and George dining on some meat and vegetables.

"We are only waiting on the Carters from Britain now. Then all the guest for the ball this evening will be here." Joseph started as he sat down in his chair at the long, rustic table.
"How are you feeling son?"

"Intrigued?" Steve said as he pushed some steak around his plate.

"Oh don't be like that. Be excited, these are good times. We don't get many days like these now days." The former king said while putting a mouthful of food in his mouth.

"Well I have an announcement to make." Sarah began as she stood up. "We have also invited the Asgardians to attend the ball tonight. They haven't actually arrived yet. But I did receive a letter of approval from them."

"You what!?" Joseph said almost chocking on his food as he to stood up from the table.

Everyone in the room stopped eating as they stared at the two.

"What happened with your father and King Odins father wasn't of you doing. So why should we let it affect our lives-" Sarah said before she was cut off by her Husband.

"It wasn't just there arguments there has been other events in the past too-" he said before he was the also interrupted.

"ENOUGH!" The hall fell silent as Steve banged the table and filled the room with his voice.
"Even if the Asgardians are here tonight it's not anything to with even there King, it's about there daughter, meaning there will be no mention of the past with our families!" Steve continued before he fell back into his chair.

"Son-" Joseph began.

"Not a word, I must get ready for the ball. Tell me when the Carters and Asgardians arrive." And with that the King got up and left the hall with James.

Winnifred and Sarah stood at the main entrance of the Palace as the Asgardian Family approached. King Odin, Queen Frigga, Princess (y/n) and Darcy.

"Welcome Asgardians. We are so happy to..have you here tonight." Sarah said smiling at everyone but Odin.

"Thanks you Sarah, we are happy to be here." The Queen said looking down at her daughter and then back at Sarah and Winni.

"My maid Winni here will take you to your chambers." Sarah said as Winnifred began walking towards door.

"Steve!" James called as he ran into his Chambers.
"The Asgardians are here." James started as Steve's head shot to face his friend, his blonde hair swooping over his forehead.
"And the Princess she is beautiful." James continued.

Steve nodded and turned back towards his mirror.

"What's wrong?" James asked?

"Let say out of the 99 percent chance, I do fall for her. Whats to say it will be aloud. Our whole kingdom hates the Asgardians. I want my people to love my wife not hate her." Steve stated.

"Well like you said there's a 99 percentage chance. I'm sure you won't." James said while patting his friend on the shoulder.

"Thanks Buck." Steve replied as he named his best friend by the nickname given to him as a child.
Bucky chuckled and so did Steve.

"Right let's finish getting ready. You have some Princesses to greet." James answered.

- - -

All the Princesses and there fathers took turn in being announced and coming to the throne to receive a Kiss on the hand from Steve.

"Princess Shuri of Wakanda."
"Princess Natasha of Russia."
"Princess Valkyrie of Sakkar.

One of the Knights announced as each Princesses arrived in the Ballroom.

"Princess Margret of Britain."

Joseph looked to his son. "I think she would be a great match."

Steve gave him a rather stern look at he turned back to face the Princess.

"Good evening, and thank you your highness for inviting me." Princess Margret said as she began to smile. She wore red lipstick, perfectly placed on her lips. Her brunette hair curled ever so slightly as it's tied up in a bun. Her dress. Sky blue with with slight red sparkles in it. A pure white ribbon wrapped around her waste. It was velvety and silky. Tied in a bow at the back.

Steve placed at kiss to the top of her hand as she then began to walk away. Curtsying at the former King as she passed.

"She would be perfect Steven" Joseph said. Steve didn't respond.

But then finally.

"Princess (y/n) of Asgard."

Walking with her father. Arms linked. Odin and his daughter walked towards The King. (y/n) wearing a burgundy, lacy dress. With a the pattern of flowers on it. Barely visible though. Dropped down to the ankles but not hitting the floor, not big and poofy but not slim fitting. Off the shoulder. A golden tint of sparkle all over. Followed by a gold necklace. It topped it all off. Her hair. Wavy. Some up some down. Tied up with a golden ribbon. It was breathtaking.

They finally reached the Rogers.

"King Steven, thank you for the invitation." (y/n) said. Her voice, soft and almost shaky. She curtsied. As he took her hand and kissed it slightly. His steel blue eyes stuck on her beautiful face.

"The honour is mine." The King replied.

But what the two didn't notice was there fathers. It was almost like there was a barrier between the two. If removed all hell would break lose.

The pair looked over at the fathers, who then looked back at them.

"Princess.." Joseph said quietly.

All (y/n) managed to do was a nod before almost dragging her father away as they went to join the others.

"What is wrong with you?" Steve asked.

His father didn't even look at his son. He stood up.

"Let the ball commence!" He yelled as everyone began to dance and talk.

"I suggest you go down there and communicate! And avoid that Asgardian bitch!" Joseph shouted quietly at his son.

But would Steve take orders from his father.

After all. He is King now.
