" So you mean that I can also come to you like this . " I asked Winston , shocked . " Yes , cariño by the way with that dress I promise you the prince will have his eyes only for you . If I would've been the prince , i would've already chosen you . " With that said he vanished , I ran straight to the catdragon and inspected it closely , it has spikes but not that it will scratch my skin . I pet it and instantly I found myself in a garden more like a field , a small field , I walked around and realised I was in a village .

With many catdragons , dogs running around and birds chirping , i was oddly satisfied by the village . I walked around the village and saw various houses , some small some big but one house or I should say castle caught my eye . It was a castle straight out of a fairytale my warden used to read me . It was the same house , how she used to describe . The story was named , ' The Village of Ashes ' , in that story , there was a prince , very handsome and very young , his parents were the king and queen of a kingdom , they had a pleasant life but they were magical , there kingdom held magics . One day , another kingdom a more powerful one , captured it but in capturing it , they accidently burnt the village down to ashes , in that the king and queen of the kingdom who held magics died and the magic in there body transferred into the prince's. The prince was young and helpless while he saw his parents die there , a new family came there and was taking there luggage out of there carriage, the daughter of the family saw the prince crying and the village in ashes , she immediately ran towards him and placed her hand on his shoulder and just then the village who was in fire just before was now again the lively village and the other kingdom who had attacked disappeared from view and the girl who was still standing with the prince ran towards her parents but they were no where to be seen and this thought made her faint .

This story was one of my favourite story because of how the warden used to narrate it and the unfinished ending of what happened later , did she find her parents and what about the prince and the village , how did it come back to life ? These all questions still remained unanswered and now when I look at this huge palace standing before me , i realise that this village and palace makes me think of that story . I entered the palace and saw makes and servants cleaning it , I was about to go and ask on of the maid but then I realised what Winston has told me and just started walking straight .

After a few minutes I found myself in the main room where ball must be held because this room of how the fireplace lit and the close doors with ample amount of space to dance , it made me realise that . I looked around and saw Winston standing near the window and eating a cherry . I walked towards him and the strong scent of his woody cologne hit my nostrils and I was sent to heaven , everytime I came near him the stronger the scent got to be . Before I could place my hand of his shoulder , he turned around and my hand landed of his chest , shyly I was about to pull my hand back , when he pulled my wrist and now not just my hand was on his chest but I was pressed flushed against his body . Just then my catdragon placed on my shoulder and immediately came back to my room , which made me whine . The more of Winston's touch got to me , the more I want to have it on me .

The maid came , " You look beautiful , Your Highness , the prince will surely choose you for the interaction . " " Thank You . " I wanted Leo to have eyes for me only but there will be other ladies whom I need to beat for that but I don't know how to dance and just then i inhaled the same woody cologne and looked behind me and saw Winston standing just before me smiling his devil smile . " I will teach you how to dance but first tell me who gave you that bracelet . " I looked back at the maid and suddenly she had disappeared . " Actually , this bracelet i have had since I could remember so I don't know who gave it to me . " I said and it was true , i didn't know who gave it to me , I used to think who would have given this me before I slept . This bracelet was very close to my heart without knowing . It had a some decorations which I had seen before but I couldn't remember. I was bad at remembering things . " Ok , come here . " He said and put his hand on my waist and the other hand held my hand perfectly in  the dance position , my hand went to his shoulder and the other hand was perfectly fitted in his hand . He instructed " See move with the best slowly but keep your motion Swift and don't forget to look in his eyes . Close the gap and be confident ." With that he slowly started dancing and I didn't know when my feet always gave away to the music and I was also dancing in no time , he spinned me around and caught me perfectly . Just then we heard the muffled sound of the host starting the party and Winston said " Just as how much I feel sad to let you go , you need to impress the prince so go . " And i went towards the door and opened it , I looked back but when I turned around he was nowhere to be found .
