Keith POV

I sighed as I looked at the stacks of papers that I had to do. Liberty was in its most crucial times right now. One of our most famous and important bank was bankrupt. Hah. I inwardly sighed. Then Luke came. "Dammit, Luke what is it?" I asked annoyed. "The King ordered you to go to the throne room, Your Highness." I nodded. "Tell him I'll be there in a moment." "Yes, Your Highness." After Luke left, I looked at the stack of paperworks again. Hah. If she was here........ I shook my head from that thought. Dammit, Keith. You can't be thinking about girls right now. Liberty is in its most crucial times.

I sighed as I headed towards the throne room. Father was there, all high and mighty on his throne. "You called, Father?" He looked at me. "Ah, Keith, you're here. So how is the bankruptcy going." I inwardly sighed. "Right now, we are trying to get the money back to the bank, but the investors of the bank are all investing to other banks and stopped investing in our bank." Father nodded. "I assume it must be hard for you to do all that by yourself. So I have someone here to help you. Miss Vineyard, you may come in." My eyes widened. It couldn't be her, can it? The very woman I was thinking about was in front of me.

Minerva Vineyard.

The woman I can't get my mind off. She came in and bowed respectively to me and my father. "Your Highnesses. It is a great honor to be here. And for a plain lawyer to be in here too. But I will try my best." Father nodded approvingly and suddenly chuckled. "What do you mean by a plain lawyer? You, Miss Vineyard, is the top lawyer even with all the lawyers of the 6 nations combined!" I was stunned. I didn't know that she was this important. And this polite. When I first met her, she was rude and disrespectful. Hmph. Father turned back to me. "Miss Vineyard here, will work with you until the bankruptcy ends. You two may now leave." I bowed my head and went outside the throne room with Minerva following me. As soon as we were in my office, I turned to her. "You! What are you doing here?!!"

Minerva POV
I smiled as I went to my office. I won a case, proving a person, who was accused of murder, innocent. Then I got a call from dad. "Hello?" I asked. "Minerva? It's me. You have to go to this ball instead of me. I'm sorry but something came up and your mother can't go either. I'm sorry." I was furious. "I am NOT going to go to some RANDOM ball!! And just because you can't go, you're sending your one and only DAUGHTER to a BALL?!!!!" As you can see, I'm a short-tempered person. And verrrrryyyyyy impatient. I could hear my dad wince from me shouting. "Minerva Vineyard, you are a Vineyard, the daughter of a high nobleman and noblewoman. You are going to go, and you cannot say no." Dad said sternly. I was fuming inside, but I decided to just go to this ball and crush him later. "Fine then."
Ugh. Now I am going to this stupid ball.
