A Royal Love: To Die For || ᵉⁿʰʸᵖᵉⁿ

Just you and me

Eleanor then looks for the person who always catches her eye, Henry. She spots Henry as he is making his way towards her, looking at her.

Henry climbs the steps and reaches the spot where the Imperial family is seated, the Emperor, Empress, and the Crown Princess, Eleanor.

He bows to them, "Greetings to the suns of the Empire." "Hoho! it's a pleasure to see you, Lord Henry. You look more and more handsome as the days go!" the Emperor says. Henry replies with a smile, "You flatter me, Your Majesty."

The Emperor then asks, "So, what brings you here?" "Ah, I wish to introduce myself to the Crown Princess." He replies while glancing at Eleanor who is staring at him. "Oh, that's good! You may do so." The Emperor says.

Henry then stands before Eleanor, while she looks at him with surprise. "Your Highness..." He says while extending his hand, "May I have this dance?" She smiles and replies, "Of course." She places her hand on his as he leads her to where the others where dancing.

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess, who were conversing with the Marquess, Marchioness and James, see Henry with Eleanor. The duchess says in delight, "My Lord, do you see our Henry with Her Highness?!"

The Duke replies with a smile, "Yes I do. Our Henry is finally interacting with a lady!" The Marchioness, on seeing their happiness, "Both of you must be feeling glad." "It indeed is a rare sight." The Marquess adds. They all laugh together while James frowns as he sees Henry and Eleanor walking down, hand in hand.

As they reach where everyone is dancing, Henry turns towards Eleanor. "May I?" He asks like a gentleman. She smiles and nods. He gently holds her waist and places her right hand on his shoulders, while he locks her other hand with his.

They slowly proceed to dance, gazing at each other. "You look gorgeous today." Henry says while looking at Eleanor. She looks down and smiles as a pink tint appears on her cheeks. Then she looks up and says, "It was necessary to look good. Afterall, Henry Millanaire is here."

He chuckles, "I was looking forward to see you today since the day I heard you were making your debut." She smiles and asks, "So how do you feel now?" "I feel really honoured to have my first dance with you, Your Highness." He replies.

She looks at him with surprise and asks, "It's... your first dance too?" He chuckles, "Yeah, I never danced with any other lady... Since no one caught my eye. But it seems..." He leans near her ear and whispers, "...you have caught my eye, Your Highness."

Eleanor blushes as she giggles happily and then whispers back, "Don't call me 'Your Highness', call me by something else." He thinks for a minute and then smirks, "Hmm, then how about I give you a nickname? By which only I will call you." "Go ahead." She smiles as she waits eagerly.

He ponders for a while and then comes up with a name. He smiles and whispers, "Leanor." She smiles and whispers back, "Perfect." They continue slow dancing, while looking at each other with fond eyes, as their hearts beat in the same rhythm.

Meanwhile, James stands at a corner, looking at Eleanor and Henry. "I wanted to be her first dance partner..." He thinks while clearly sulking. "It's clearly visible." Serena says while approaching him, "You're Jealous of Henry."

James sighs, "Look, I'm not jealous of him. It's just that, if Father hadn't asked for me at the wrong time..." Serena sighs, "C'mon, stop sulking. Let's dance together now." "Alright..." James says as they both walk towards the others and start dancing.

"You look the best today Jack." Amelia says as she dances with Jack. "I must match your vibes, Ami." He says while smiling cutely. "Don't smile like that... I feel like pinching your cheeks..."

She pouts and thinks, "If it wasn't for Brother... We would've been a couple by now..." She thinks while looking at Bruce, who is dancing unwillingly while nodding at Evonne who seems to be going on blabbering.

"Gosh and do you know, the other day I went to a tea party held at Baron Bronte's manor. There the Baron's eldest daughter was saying that she will marry you. But I slammed the table and said that she wasn't your type!" Evonne rambles at Bruce who nods.

And the most quiet couple among all, Julios and Selena, are dancing silently. Julios breaks the silence, "You look... very pretty today..." Selena blushes, "Thank you...." "How do I look?" Julios asks.

She looks down and whispers, "Very.... Hand...some..." "Very?" Julios asks teasingly. She looks up, "Very handsome..." She says while blushing. "That's a relief." Julios says while smiling as they continue to dance.
