Royalty runs in me

Chapter 5

I was enjoying the breeze from the outside while I was reading on the window sill. *Knock knock* "come in" Carol was standing at the doorway with with her hands together in front of her "lady Mary the princesses would like to know if you will be attending the ceremony tonight" brave girl to be their guinea pig. "I'll think about it" I gestured my hand to shoo her away. When the door closed I closed my book, got off the window sill, and closed the window. There seems to be a couple more hours before the ceremony. I decided this was probably the best time to make my appearance to show my father, the king, who the guest his step daughters and sons were keeping away and if he does decide to execute me on the spot this whole kingdom would be executed, because the faes do not tolerate trash so if the king was exposed that I was kept isolated and malnutrition he would have no where to escape. I smiled to myself while throwing knives at the red dot I made on my door. This will be my night.

The time for the ceremony was coming soon. I have been locked in my room practicing my martial arts skills and sword skills. I decided it was about time I started getting ready. I stripped out of my tunic and leggings, which were drenched in sweat, and entered the bath. After the bath I settled on a blood red dress that hugged my curves nicely, it had an cut off shoulder top with an exposing v at the back. The bottom of the dress wasn't too puffy but also wasn't to tight, it was perfect for me to hide my small knives, but my sword would have to stay in the room, if something were to happen tonight I had my experiences from my past life to defend myself.

I knew I wasn't going to be on the guest list so I went behind the bushes and stood under the balcony that the party was held on. I moved back a little and started running, I grabbed onto a tree branch, pulled all my weight up with me, and jumped onto the balcony. I straightened my dress and made sure my hair was still in place, not that I did anything with it. The balcony doors opened and appeared a couple who looked like nobles. I searched through the past owner's memories to find that the women wearing a light blue puffy dress was the sister of  Queen Marclin, her sister, aunt Renedy, was a  gold digger and a whore.

The couple looked around making sure nobody was around, but they didn't see me before they started making out. I walked out of the shadow and made my way through the opened doors. Nobody seemed to pay much attention to me, but a few wondering eyes would look at me trying to figure out what royal family I was from. I noticed some people who glowed unlike the others I categorized them as the faes they seemed to be in their own group while the humans seemed to distance themselves or maybe the faes didn't deem some of them worthy. I put my previous life acting skills to use and walked with grace, observing people in silence while stealing a glance at the king, my father. He didn't look my way as he seemed occupied talking to one of the royal guards. As he stood up, everybody who saw him went silent and looked at him, couple seconds went by as everybody went silent and faced their attention to the mortal king. 

"I hope everybody is enjoying their night tonight. As everybody knows this is a special night which only happens once a year or rarely at all" his voice boomed trough the ballroom "I would like to welcome the fae kingdom's, King Barrett!" he gestured to the most handsome man I have seen in both of my lives. His white silver hair flowed down his back like silk, his gold crown was neither big nor small it was perfect on his head, he was dressed in clothing that looked more valuable than the mortal king's kingdom, he was wearing a red cape accompanied with a sword that emit a strong killing intent. But what caught my attention the most was his eyes, they were a color that seemed out of this world it was impossible to describe those eyes, they looked like they could end a whole war with one glance. He seemed to be emitting a dark aura around him that would kill you if you so far as breath wrong. 

The Fae king took his seat next to the mortal king "I would also like to conclude that my general of my royal army has been found dead. Justice will be made to whom ever did this crime!" everybody stated murmuring their prayers while some talked about the general's whore who was with him. "Please don't let this ruin the night tonight. I'm sure we will find the perpetrate soon" the king's smile didn't reach his eyes instead he seemed to be putting up a face in front of the fae king, but the fae king neither smiled or gave him a face indicating that he cared. "Let the ceremony begin" the king gestured to the musicians playing. 

I observed the place a bit before I decided to make my appearance present. Both kings were talking but King Barrett didn't look like he was enjoying father's presence. Even though the faes were from royal fae families they seemed to drool over the fae king. I would think they would be closer to him than anyone else. Father gestured to Marclin, she bowed while giving him a lustful look, then he gestured to Damin, Ford, Amelia, and Kailan, they all bowed, you couldn't miss the blush that was forming on Amelia's and Kailan's face. Even the human girls on the dance floor were drooling over the fae king. He looked young but I doubt he was, he was probably over 300 years old. I scoffed to myself. 

After a while of observing my surroundings I decide it was time to make my appearance known.
