So I was in my room putting on my dress and my uncle knocked on the door and said "Esmeralda may I come in?"
"Yes, may come in Uncle Trevor."
"How'd you know it was me?" He said
"Well it's just a little trick I got from someone." I smiled at my uncle as I said that.
"Ah, you are just like your mom when she was your age." My uncle said
"Really?" I asked
"Yes, you really were trust me." He said
"Well, I just wanted to say remember the prophesy it is a true prophesy and ur extremely great uncle was a sorcerer like me and he created that prophecy and saw the future of our families."
"Really, that's pretty cool. You're a sorcerer too right?" I asked
"Yes, yes I am so I could see you're future too and anyone else's if I can think of that person but, you have a great future and I don't want to spoil it for you." He said
"Well, thanks for telling me this now o have to finish getting ready for the ball so, see ya there uncle Trevor!" I said
"Alright Esmeralda." Then he left.

Soon after as I was putting my dress on Mrs. Andre came in and got my hair ready. I thought I looked very pretty on my 16th birthday and she thought so too. All of the people that work in my castle are so good at pretty much, well almost anything.

"How I can't wait to go to the ball and see Esmeralda there, yes there may be many other men there that she must meet I know that she will choose me over all of them, she knows me the most so far." I said to myself
Then my mom came and said "James, are you almost ready for the ball because we will be leaving soon."
"Yes, mom almost ready, I'm also wearing the suit you told me to wear." I said back
"Oh that's excellent James, I know that the princess will fall in love with you wearing that and also because of how nice and handsome you are!" She said
"Thanks mom, and I know she will." I already knew that. All I had left to do was do my hair and leave for the ball. So I did and when I saw the full castle I was amazed, and said "Wow" in a whisper voice
Then my mom said "Yeah it's beautiful isn't it."
"Yeah." And I just sat there in awe with my mouth open.
Then the gates opened and I got off and they lead me too the ball and I still had my mouth open with awe. Then as I sat down with my family I heard the sound of trumpet coming from outside and
inside.

The royal Duke said "The royal family is now entering the ball may everyone please stand," and then he introduced them one by one and said "Sir Trevor: the sorcerer, King Albert, Queen Marie, King George, Queen Marie II, and Princess Esmerelda

After the Duke announced them everyone clapped. Then he said "Let the party begin, and may all of the men chosen to meet Princess Esmeralda please step up to where I am."
Then my mom said "Go get 'em tiger." My dad gave me a thumbs up and I went.  I was last in line but as they always say, the best for last.

It felt like it took forever, all of the stupid introductions to all of these men, none of which I like, but I hope the one I like is here in line.
I whispered to my dad after I danced with the fifteenth man "Dad, none of these men here in line I like."
"Be patient sweetie you will find one." My dad said, then right after my dad said that I spotted him... James I'm so glad he was here and waiting in line then I said,
"Dad you're right there will be a man here that I will like."
