Dressed in the gorgeous turquoise dress...
Danced a woman with ash-blonde hair...
Hand in hand with...
Arron.
Everyone's eyes were fixed upon the pair, they looked perfect from every angle.
Their bodies swayed in unison to match the rhythms of the music.
It was as if they were lost in a different universe of their own!
I was unable to take my eyes of them, as if enchanted.
Wearing that turquoise dress...
Dancing to her wits end...
She looked just like the girl...
The girl who prayed for the devil.
"Who is that?" I hear whispers.
"That's the princess, obviously. Look at that ash-blonde hair, there's no woman who can be as beautiful as her in Versailles!"
"No, I mean the gentleman...Who is that?"
"That's Duke Arron Rowells"
"The husband of the Duchess of Rowells??"
"Yes, although he is masked but its pretty obvious from his blonde hair and handsome physique"
"Then what about the Duchess?"
"Don't you see she's dancing with the crown prince himself?"
"Oh but why is she not with her husband?"
"Shhh! Don't you know the Duchess and the crown prince..."
"Yes, everyone knows of it..."
"So is that the reason why the Duke is with..."
"Yeah, rumours have it that the Duke has been seen many times at the church with the princess..."
The whispers fill the ballroom.
I look at Christopher who has also heard the whispers.
But more than them, he looks more enraged at Arron and the princess.
"That son of a...Taking you was not enough, huh? Now he dares to target my sister!!?" His eyes burnt with rage.
"Calm down, your highness...They are only dancing..." I say.
He bites his lips and looks away.
Christopher loves his sister very much. So much so that he rejects her suitors before she can.
The princess...
Well, let's say I do not know that much about her...
According to Rosetta's memories the princess, grew up away from the imperial palace, with her uncle, the Archduke of Royce. Other than that, she is a reserved person, who mostly stays indoors and reads a lot.
The music stops.
Christopher and I exchange bows and end our dance.
And the both of us immediately turn towards the pair.
Exchanging bows, the princess and Arron stop their dance.
Arron offers a glass of wine to her, which she gladly accepts.
Is it just me or she looks really happy to see him?
I turn to look at Christopher, his usual gentle gaze has changed into an enraged one.
