This girl that I was assigned to buy her out and let her stay at my castle, she looks ethereal and like the full moon that lights up when the sky is dark but the light shines. It is like she is the light when everything else is dark. Even her name sounds ethereal and suits her.
                          Why am I like this? I haven't thought of someone like this before. The minute our hands touched, I looked deep into her ocean eyes and I immediately felt drawn into her. There is something about her that is so captivating and I want to know more about her now. Our hands fell apart from each other as we went through the gate to my castle. 

                      The gate was already open since I already told my counselor to let the guards in my castle open the gate for us when we come back with her. We walked through the gate, suddenly the gate closed the minute we walked in and I gave a sign to one of my guards to be here to keep it safe. As we walked inside my castle, the hallway was full of other guards and servants who were ready to serve me and her. She looks exhausted but as soon as we walk in, her blue eyes light up as she looks around her surroundings. 

          'Welcome to Ophelia castle. My castle, fereshte.' 

          'Your castle has a name, why?' She asks me, her eyes meeting mine, again.

          'Well, that is a good question. I named my castle after one of my old friends who passed away.' She looked stunned by what I said. I hope I didn't scare her away. 

          'I'm sorry for your loss, prince. Sorrows.' 

          'It is all good, no need to be upset for me, darling.' 

          'Why do you keep calling me these names?' She asks, wanting to know why I keep calling her these names. 

          'I like you.' That's all I say for now. 

          'But, that is no reason for you to keep calling me these names. You're a prince and I am merely a slave who was brought out from her cell. I am a servant, I'm nothing.' She's right, but the fact she keeps lowering herself to keep me grounded and on my toes is something that I don't appreciate. I don't like that she keeps pushing herself down and lowering herself when she could become something more. 

            'Stop lowering yourself. You will do no such thing in my home.' She is a human, like us. She deserves to be treated with respect just as much as we do but it's not easy to do that since in this society people treat slaves badly. 

            'You didn't answer my question, my prince.'
I did, she just didn't listen to what I said. 

            'I did. I said I like you, Raeliana.'
Her face turns red, a shade of red that I have never seen before and that made my heart melt. Raeliana shouldn't have the power to do that to me but yet, she has.
She is captivating.
Kazuyuki coughed as he was standing in between us, eyeing us both as he had a smug smile on his face and I knew he had something in his mind. 

             'We should introduce her to the others.' He says as he walks to the main room where we hold our meetings there and hang out with each other. 

              'There are others?' Raeliana seems confused. We had forgotten to tell her that part in the carriage but we will now. 

              'Yes, there are others. They are our friends.' I smile towards her as I take my hand out for her. She looks up at me, slowly taking my hand and we then walk towards the main room together as Kazuyuki is in front of us. 

              'I never knew a Royal could have friends.' A laugh came from her lips, she turned her head to me as her eyes were on mine. She smiles. Her eyes, the heavenly sky and the ocean. The infinite beauty that she has is outstanding and magnificent.
