The Royals

Unmask Her Beauty to the Moon

It was a masquerade ball in the palace. Sofia, was listening to Eleanor and Jasper talking. More like arguing. "What the hell was that?"

"The tunnel, the tuxedo, the dancing, that's not what this is" Jasper said.

"You wanted me to be your little sex slave, you're blackmailing me, that's what this is."

"Is it?"

"Of course it is."

"Well if that's what this is then go ahead and end it. Go in that room and tell everybody how I'm blackmailing you" Jasper said, and she saw Jasper dragging Eleanor inside. "If that's what this really is, then end it. Tell them all. Go on."

"Fine. I will". Sofia watched her sister storming onto the stage and takes the microphone. "I have something important to say. Something that will change everything. Those shoes with that dress? Really, bitch?" Eleanor walks off the stage, then a slow song was played. Sofia turned around and looked at Jasper. Jasper shook his head, walked away, but Sofia grabbed his wrist and started dancing.

"Sofia, I'm with Eleanor. We can never work".

"What I saw, it doesn't look like it. Jasper, please don't be with her".

"Why? Tell me a good reason. And "I'm Sofia Henstrdige" doesn't count" Jasper said.

"Because I don't want you to".

"Not good enough".

"Because you're the only friend I have".

"Still not enough".

"What else is there?"

"The true reason, why I should stay here and not go to Eleanor. 3 words, say it and I'm yours".

"I...I..." Sofia couldn't say it.

"That's all I needed to hear. I need to find Len" Jasper walked away from her, leaving Sofia at the dancefloor. Sofia was confused. Because when she cared about someone, they always leave.

"Sofia" somone interrupted her thoughts. She turned around and saw Ophelia. "Are you ok? Do you-"

""I'm fine. I'm fine. Have you seen Eleanor?"

"I saw her going at the balcony just a second ago" Ophelia told her. Sofia rushed there, but stopped when she saw something that hurt her. She was watching Jasper and Eleanor kissing. Eleanor saw her sister and gave her a smile, not knowing that Sofia likes Jasper too. Sofia walked away and sat down.

"Sofia, you ok?" Her brother asked.

"I'm fine" she lied, taking a drink.

"We're going to the villa in Monaco this weekend. I think we could all use a break from this place. Wheels up at dawn".

"Break sounds good. But, I think I'm going to pass. You and Len have fun" Sofia said.

"Sofia".

"Yeah?"

"Sorry, for not talking to you for 2 years. I shouldn't have blamed you for Sam's death". Sofia stated at him.

"It's fine" Sofia told him.
