I  stood  outside the   big  doors  that  led  to the  ballroom   .  The  knot  that   had  disappeared    suddenly   came  back   and   this  time  it was  worse. I looked  at  lydia  who gave me  a reassuring   smile   but  I knew she was scared as I was  " your highness, it's time  for   you to   go   ahead   without  us"  she  said  those  words  that  I was afraid of  hearing  , my heart raced faster  than the  beating drums  . I looked at lydia   leaving  and  immediately  the  ballroom   doors were opened  , I started  in  , I kept  my gaze low  but I could   feel all the  eyes on me  , some mummering  about   the   prince   and  some other  this   . I  walked   up  to  mother  who  gave  me  a bright smile   but  also  sad  like  how  I was , she didn't   have  a say in  anything   father   said  and  I couldn't   blame  her   my greedy   father  only listened to  himself  , I bowed  to  show  respect   to the   king and queen   and   I took  a seat  at the  enormous   dining table   and still   all eyes were on me   " The  prince  of  Devon  has  arrived "  a guard  spoke   to have  all eyes  glued  to  the  doors as they  flew open   mine  as well  I knew  as  a princess   I  wasn't   allowed  to look  at my  husband   but  my  curiosity   got  the  best of me  and  slowly   looked at the   door  . A  tall , muscular  man  walked in   the  scent  that  followed  him   inside  made  my  heart  beat  restlessly  , his  eyes   that  had  a living  flame    , he  was the  same   mysterious   man   who   saved  my life  early!  He wasn't  the  devil      , was he!?  All  jaws  were  dropped    cause  everyone   expected   a 40 year old  man with horns and  a  tail  but it was the  exact   opposite of  what we  expected . He  walked   elegantly   to  where  father  was  lightly   bowed , this  man  didn't  care less   if he disrespected   him   . Okay  my  father  deserved  it    .  The  handsome   prince  took  a seat next  to mine  still keeping   my  gaze  low  , he  didn't   say  a word   " rude    wasn't  he  supposed to   introduce  himself  to  me " I said  to myself
