Always Look At The Stars

Chapter 1

Back to our story, in the middle of july or maybe it was august, the Doulister family are on their way to England, for a week of ball, festivitises and etc.. What a hard life. On that plane, most family is present, her majestie the Queen, her son and his wife, Vanessa and Chace, their children and even their cousin, Jesse and Sophia. I'm not going to discribed their fisical apparence because it doesn't matter, the story matter, nothing else, picture them the way you want, tall and handsome like in the movies nowadays, or just normal like everyday person that is not photoshop, maybe even as the most ugliest persons ever. It's up to you. Anyway, let's go back to our story. At that time, Vanessa is dating an offiser of 23 years old named Stephen, he is the really boring type, never been to combat and just full of himself, but she is young, she know it is not going to last and she can bother to break up with him now, espacialy since Gram asked him to join us to England. That was a really suprising, since there were not engaged or serious enough to be agkonled has her compagnion.

Anywho, as soon as the plane lands, the ambassadeur greet his souveraints and led them toward Buckingamb palace where their will stay durind their trip, the queen of England is going about her usual buniess so instead, Her son, the heir welcomes them and show them to their rooms. Lets not get lost in the description of the palace because you know, it is a palace. The two family will officialy meet at the ball organised the same night, the first of many. The four cousins, tired by their long trip decided to take a break in Sophia's room. Sophia is a real fashon victim, she invited them just in order to ask what to wear for the ball and most important, how fabulous she looks.

-« it looks great on you »said Chace for the fith time, not even bothering to look anymore. Sophia, like most girls of her age love short dresses and provocative tops and she can wear them, because 1- it fit her and 2- she is not the heir to one of the biggest country of the world and doesn't have to follow the Etiquette. Vanessa always being kind of envious, not that she want to dress slutty, far from that, but she would like to be wear what she want, have her own style. Pushing that though out of her mind she went back to the original conversation :

-« So, who exactaly are we suppose to meet tonight ?

- Well, the royal family answer Jesse

- Can you be more specify ? ask Vanessa

- Yeah, the voice of Sophia came from the bathroom, like is there some cute boys ?

- Geez, Soph, think about something else. Not everything is about clothes, boys, parties and sex

- Do you mind ? intercept Jesse, that is my little sister.

- Anyway, there will be the Queen, her son and his wife that we already met, their two boys Henri and Georges whom are about our age.

- Do you know them ? whisper the princess.

New people, for a shy girl that spend her life in a remote castle away from person her own age exepct her family, that though terrified her. Even her brother didn't live with her but with their parents in the city to be at that time, with lots of friends.

- No, answered Chace, taking her hand. But I know one of their cousin, and I am pretty sure he is going to be here tonight.

- Who is he ? said Sophia stepping in the room with a dress even shorter than the others.

- Well his dad is the second son of the queen, he married a french aristocrat, had three children, two girls and a boy, that him I'm talking about. But then their mother died so he got remarried and had an another boy. Finish Chace

- What did she died of ?

- She was mudered, said very softly Chace, you shoud avoid the subject wih them, they don't like to talk about it, specially with strangers.

- No kidding breath out Jesse.

Few hour later, once Sophia tried out every possible dress she could bring in her suitcase, and let me not start talking about the shoes, all the family and Stephen step in the ball room, already full of people, annonce one by one by the butler : « her majesty the queen of The United State, the prince of New York and the princess (vanessa parent's), the princess Vanessa, Prince Chace, Duke Jesse and the duchesse Sophia, Lieutenant Kretar. » One by one, they walk in toward the middle of the room. The Royal English family wasn't here yet, last one to enter as usual, just to be sure to be notice. As they walk, the guest around the room bow to them, only the most honorable will have the luck to be introduce to them. After a few introduction of the count of that, the duchesse of there, the baron of something etc, the butler knock with his golden stick on the floor, a tradition meaning it was time for the queen to make her entrance.

« -Ladies and Gentlemen, Her Majestie the Queen of Great Britain. » As the door open, a not so young woman step in, she knew how to be notice, nodding to some and smiling to other. As she walk toward them to introduce and greet them, the butler carried on with the name.

« - His lordship, the prince of Wale and the princess of Wale, The duke of Cambrige, the duke of Weswie. »

The man who has show vanessa and her family their rooms enter follow by what was most certainly his wife and their sons.

« - The duke of York, the duchess of York, the Count and Countess de Lachaurie, Lady Isabelle and the Duke d'Orminie, and Lord Peter »

- That is him » whispered Chace in Vanessa ear.

A middle age man accompagne by a woman that seems a little younger than him, followed by a young girl in the arms of what must be her husband, a woman about the same age as Vaness then a boy that seems to be younger entered one by one.

- « Is that him ? she ask nodding toward the man and the woman. The boy was a bit too young to be friend with Chace.

- No that is his sister and her husband, he must be late, as usual, her brother answered.

Okay, a royal member that can even bother to be in time for the first ball tought Vanessa, that interresting.

As soon as the trail of thought finish in her mind, a man slidded in the open door in a hurry, then started walking as if nothing was wrongt. He caught up with his family, now standing next to their guest.

Vanessa couldn't help but notice that he had irritating smug on his face and that his bowtie was undone. She also notice that his sister Isabelle rush to fix his bow, and receved a full smile from him. One by one, they introduce themself. When came her turn, the young man bow, then look up.

Now, I know I said I wouldn't give any physical details about the character but I was ask just to precise this one, the blue of his eyes. I know, typical isn't it ? Boy with blue eyes. But still, it was a deep blue, just like a calm ocean where you could drown and don't even care. At least, that what they told me.
