"Good evening! Welcome to the ball, hosted on behalf of his Future Majesty, the Prince. Enjoy." The music started up and the guests started to dance. Your friend took your hand and started to dance with you. You laughed with your friend for a while and the evening went on. "How are you feeling?" Your friend asked. You smiled. "Pretty excited I guess. I've never been inside a castle before!" You looked around in awe. "Not about that, about meeting the Prince!" Your friend laughed. You stopped for a moment. "Meeting... The Prince?" Your friend face palmed. "Well, this is the Princes' ball" your friend nudged you, smiling. "They say they're hosting this ball to find the Princes' future husband or wife!" You raised your eyebrows. "I've heard he's absolutely gorgeous!" A girl squealed excitedly. "They say he's sweet and devastatingly handsome!" another blushed. You rolled your eyes and laughed. "It doesn't matter anyway, he would never pick me." Your friend raised an eyebrow, and jokingly punched you on the shoulder. "You never know." They looked up to the staircase and looked back. "But I guess we're about to find out." You looked up as the queen walked up to the podium. "Good evening again distinguished guests, it is finally that time of the evening and as many of you know, we hold this ball with the hope of introducing the prince to his future husband or wife." Your friend smirked at you. "If any of you lovely guests spark the princes' interest, the two of you will make your acquaintance and he may ask you to be his partner for the evening. We wish you all the very best of luck and it is with great pride and pleasure I introduce to you now, his future majesty, the prince."

You looked around to see the audience quietly buzzing. "Oh my god" your friend whispered. You looked at your friend who was looking up speechless. You looked up and gasped. "Oh my..." He walked towards the podium and looked out at the audience. Your heart started to race. The guests were excitedly squealing and giggling. "Oh my god, he's so cute!"
"I hope he picks me!"
"He's even more handsome than I thought!"
You still stood speechless and couldn't take your eyes off him. Your friend looked at you. "If I'm not wrong... I'd say someone's in love with the Prince." You blushed. "Who knows" your friend giggled. "Maybe he'll ask you!" You looked at your friend. "Come on, look at him!" You stuttered. "He's..." You looked back up at him and gasped as you made eye contact. "...Beautiful" your breath hitched. He stood gazing at you for what felt like an eternity and smiled softly. "Wow" you whispered. You blushed and softly smiled back at him. He looked to the queen and nodded slightly. "Oh my god, he totally likes you!" Your friend squealed. "What, no way" You blushed and your friend raised their eyebrow. "Seriously? I saw the way you two were looking at each other! The two of you stood staring at each other for what felt like a lifetime!" They smirked. "I'm telling you, he's definitely into you." You gulped and blushed, looking back at him. "It's like the start of a fairytale" they swooned. You laughed, pushing them. "As if." You rolled your eyes. However secretly inside you were quietly wishing that in that moment when you locked eyes his heart stopped the way yours did.

"It seems the Prince has made his decision. He shall now join you in the audience and meet his partner for the first time. From there, the two of you will make each others acquaintances, and the audience will gather round as the prince and his partner share the first slow dance of the evening." Your heart was racing as he began to make his way down the staircase and stood in front of the crowd. The room was quiet with the gentle buzz of the crowd as he began to walk towards the audience. You looked down and gently shut your eyes, wishing as your heart raced 1000 miles an hour. The crowd parted slightly. Your friend gasped and you looked up to see him stood in front of you. Your heart stopped and your breath hitched. He was even more gorgeous up close. He had honey coloured skin with dark, chocolate brown eyes and soft heart shaped lips. He smiled and leaned forward, bowing. "It's a pleasure to meet you Miss." His voice was deep and beautiful and you stood starstruck. After a second or two you leaned down, curtsying. "It's a pleasure to meet you too" you answered in barely a whisper. You leaned back up and gazed at him, blushing softly. He smiled gently. "If I may ask your name?"
"Poppy." You smiled, tucking your hair behind your ear. "Poppy... That's a beautiful name." He leaned down and took your hand, gently kissing it. "Enchante." He gazed back up at you and laughed softly. You still stared in awe at him stood in front of you and you softly smiled and blushed at him, still rendered utterly speechless at the Prince stood in front of you. The crowd buzzed excitedly but everything else disappeared as you gazed deep into his eyes. He took a small step closer to you. "I'm Taehyung." His eyes glistened. "It would be my honour Miss if you would join me as my partner for the evening." His eyes glittered in the warm evening glow as he looked at you, a loving warmth in his gaze. "I would love to" you whispered. You gasped softly and bowed your head. "Your highness." He looked down at you and smiled, laughing softly and held out his hand. You gently placed your hand in his and he led you over to the ballroom floor. You looked back to see your friend, almost dying with excitement. "Told you" they mouthed, smiling. You smiled back and looked back towards the Prince as he held your hand and bowed his head. "May I have this dance?" You curtsied back, holding your dress. "You may" you laughed softly, you eyes softening as you stared at his beautiful features. He smiled that devastatingly enchanting smile of his and gently placed his hand on your waist. He was so loving and tender, no wonder he was a Prince. You nervously placed your hand on his shoulder and he held your other hand, holding it up. He looked across at you, that gentle spark in his eye twinkling. You sighed softly and he took a small step forward and you reciprocated. You could feel the crowd staring in awe but as the two of you danced, utterly lost in each others eyes, everyone seemed to disappear. His face was so warm and comfortable, your nervousness slowly drifted away as the two of you slow danced your way across the ballroom floor. As the music went on, the two of you got lost in each others arms. He lifted you up and as you spun round the room, everything turned into a blur. You were both smiling and laughing softly, you unable to look away from that irresistible gaze of his. As each second passed, the two of you started to fall deeper and deeper. He gently lifted your hand and you slowly twirled as he gazed at you lovingly.
