PARADISE OF PAIN

CHAPTER 5

Reagan found himself staring at her, he thought she looked cute closing her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, he saw a pair of bright emerald green eyes staring at him and suddenly got lost in her eyes but later recovered.

" you okay my lady"  he asked with and unexpected concerned in his voice. " Yes my Lord " and with that he set her on her feet gently.

"Thank you for saving me in time my Lord" she said while trying hard to stare at him anyone who stared in his eyes wouldn't want to test their gaze away.

"Hmmmm"was all he said and without hesitation he went back to his seat and when he saw her face from afar she looked disappointed  " but why??" He thought. After which her father stood up and held his daughters hand and announced.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen I present my daughter to you the princess of daceria Amberline Daiana Astely" there was a round of applause and a bit chattering and then she was led to her seat.

But he noticed her eyes on him every now and then with pity and remorse.

Later on Acheron came to his side and whispered something in his ears. " Your highness a woman is seeking your attention"
He said with confusion written all over his face "who is she" he asked feeling irritated already " I prefer you see her for yourself my Lord" Reagan sighed in defeat and took one glance at the princess and was supprized to meet her pleading gaze "lead the way Ach" .

He stood up and followed him to the door and turned back again still meeting her pleading gaze, making him give her a small smile and then strode after Acheron.

When he got out meeting someone he hadn't seen for five years of errands.
"Long time no see your highness it's been a while".
A woman with long wavy brown hair and a warm sky blue eyes and small smile curved up her red chilli lips.

"Ariel, what are you doing here, did you get it" he asked with a cold voice that was capable of freezing someone.

"I'm sorry your highness I couldn't get it " she said with a frightened expression on her face

"And why is that Ariel" he said emitting a dangerous aura.
"Your highness Carey was executed and I was captured for four years and nine months your highness the only person I had in my life has been executed my twin sister was murdered brutally" she said as tears rolled down her eyes.

"Who had dared to touch my female gaurds without my permission" he said while the area was really thick, giving everyone a great difficulty to breath.

"Your highness prince Alphonse of Beastrela" she aid shaking in fear . This man here her prince could kill anybody in this state, he was dangerous when angry.

"Go home Ariel I would take care of it" he said with a killing intent.
"Thank you your highness, if ever you need my help I'm of great service" she bowed and exited the area.

As soon as Reagan entered the hall a smile lit up the princess's face which he could not help but also gave her a smile.
And that sweet smell of honey, fresh flowers, and Paradise flooded his nose and brains that he couldn't control himself and led him to her.

When he got to her he grabbed her hands "she's mine and no one else's" he thought and then some music started slowly with it's sweet Melody leaving the guests and nobles no choice but to give way for the couple to dance.
They glided across the dance floor which made people marvel.

And for the very first time Amberline was the center of attraction..
He pulled her to twirl and then pulled her closer, she seemed to stiffen a little bit and later loosen up " she is a pretty good dancer at least".

After a while the dance ended.
Amberline curtsied while Reagan bowed and then he  took her hand and gently kissed her knuckles causing her to blush a little.
