Irina's POV

I walk into my beginning position for the dance, but not without feeling the hair raising sensation of being watched by someone. I turn around and meet with a pair of icy blue eyes. Those eyes belong to a face of a god. His nose high, and jaw sharp. His hair is a platinum blonde, which makes him look even more dashingly handsome. My eyes widen, is that the prince? Dammit why does that stupid Sebastard have to be rich and handsome. Stupid rich people and their good luck, leave some for the rest of us!

As the music begins, I fall into my trance of utter concentration and begin to dance. The joyful feeling of dancing is irreplaceable. Especially when the crowd give us their applause, that really pumps the adrenaline through my veins. As Irene disappears to get our purple feathered fans, I see her wink at the prince. How dare she! She'll mess up the whole surprise of the "magical" appearance of our fans because she let herself be seen by the prince! Let's just hope that Sebastard has a brain in there and doesn't go telling everyone about how Irene just "disappeared" from the stage. All this time and the hairs on my arms still stand alert. Is he still watching me? But why? He better not be staring somewhere inappropriate, damn this skanky ass costume!

Sehun's POV

She's really beautiful. That's it. That's all I can think of. Even as she turns around and we make eye contact, I still cannot look away. Even as her eyebrows furrow together while she continues her dance steps after our eye contact. Goddamit Oh Sehun what is that peasant girl doing to you. You should be dreading this party right now. But instead you drool over a girl? "This is why you're worthless Oh Sehun! You're too soft. So what if I had cheated on your father with a woman ? That's nothing of your concern is it. But no you go and tell your father. And what good has that done for you? Nothing. He still thinks you're his worst child. That you're useless. Not smart enough. Not brave enough. Not talented enough. And now he thinks you're a mistake because you are my child. The woman who he raped. The woman who he ruined the life of! The woman who he traps in her room because he's humiliated by her. The woman who he never loved! You should've just never been born!"

"Your highness. Your highness? Your highness! Please stop staring at Ms. Moonstone. The dance is over. Would you like me to escort her to your room?" Francisco's worried voice shook me out of my thoughts. That's the 3rd time this week.

"Oh yes please escort her promptly to my room. Tell the maids to prepare a new dress for her to change into and that I'll be with her in half an hour." I dismiss Francisco as my heartbeat accelerates just at the thought of her. "This is why you're worthless Oh Sehun!" Her words still haunt me to this day. The words my mother said on her deathbed still haunt me till today. Her screams of agony as the poison took over her nerve system and killed her slowly still haunts me till this day. Her cold eyes directed to me as she took her last breath still haunts me till this day. My father patting me on the shoulder and whispering in my ear how I had done the right thing and that he loves me, I still question to this day. Does he really? Or does he put up that act for show and whispers hurtful words behind my back? People have always trash talked me for being a child of rape. But would my father as well? I will never know. And people question why I'm so cold. It's because I've never been given the warmth of true love.

Irina's POV

What do I do? Why has this happened to me? What does he want from me? And why his room? Those are some of the questions that are racing through my head as I am led to Prince Sebastard's room by his butler Francisco. Suddenly I feel a vice like grip on my arm.

"Listen here you bitch. I don't know what you did to seduce the prince but you need to learn your place. You should be honored that he has taken it upon himself to make you his concubine. Do you know how much I've wanted that position for my daughter ever since I've been serving him? All the riches that it would give me and my family. All the opportunities that would come leaping our way. But no, he had to dig whores like you with the silver blonde hair and amber gold eyes. But guess what missy. As long as I'm here I'll make sure that you get to know your place and that whores like you should be working in the slut central Aria District and that my Irene should be taking your place instead." I stare up at Francisco's face with my poker face.

"Ok." I was expecting that really. That people like him would just be serving the royal family for their own personal gain. That's pretty normal in all the districts. I'm pretty sure the king and queen must know about it. They just don't give a fuck about it. The king and queen are never people to mess with though, as they are usually the best of the best to be able to sit comfortably on those thrones. Wait. Did Franbitchco say I was going to be Prince Sebastard's concubine?! Oh for fuck's sake I didn't sign up for this! I just wanted to do the job then get paid the cash. That's it. And now I'm dragged into this mess.

On second thought, if I can make him happy then I get to stay in this magnificent place. And live like a billionaire! I just need to make sure Sebastard doesn't recognize or ever see my hip tattoo and just act friendly around him and I'm good to stay. Except that the queen has seen me before. Fuck, I'm screwed. I guess I'll just die early. There's nothing left in my life to look forward to anyway.

Sehun's POV

She's in there. I know she's in there. So why are you so nervous Sehun? She's just a girl while you're a prince for fucks sake! You'll be fine. Now get in there and make her your concubine.

Irina's POV

I've been here for 30 minutes now. So where is that Sebastard? I literally got shoved into this annoying ass dress just for him.

*The large double doors of the room open as Sehun steps in.*

Well fuck here goes nothing.
