The smell of delicious food being prepared hit my nose upon entering the gates of the castle and I knew that preparations for tonight was well on the way. Once we were all inside, our ladies in waiting rushed to Lizetta and I. Emily, one of my ladies said that they had to start right away in getting us ready for tonight. The boys were trying to contain themselves when they saw Liz roll her eyes, "oh come on Liz." I laughed as I linked my arm in hers and followed our ladies to our rooms.
Three hours later we were done, all pampered up for my birthday ball tonight. Lizetta looked breathtaking in a metallic blue dress accented with jewels and her favourite crown.

I was also dressed in a blue gown, much different from Lizetta. My dressed was complimented with simple but yet elegant jewellery. And my new tiara, a gift from my parents. It was all just so perfect.

The ball started and the royal family took our seats, Father stood up to greet the guests, " Good evening everyone, thank you for joining us in celebrating the 18th birthday of our princess Amelia. Let the celebrations begin!" And with that, the crowd erupted with cheers and an applause.
Mother and Father took to the dance floor, as it is customary for the King and Queen to open the dance floor. I turned to smile at Lizetta, only to find her being led to the dance floor by Tate. My eyes searched the room for a particular blue set of eyes only to be disappointed, he was not here yet, I sighed and focused my attention on those dancing. "That does not sound like the princess is enjoying her party", I immediately knew that voice, "Why dont you change that, Prince Ethan?" I smirked at him. He offered me his hand, "Well then, shall I have this dance?". "You may" I said with a bit of playfulness in my tone. Ethan led me to the middle of the dance floor, I immediately begin to feel shy.
"Just breathe Princess", he teased as he bowed. I rolled my eyes as I curtised, and with that we began dancing to many songs. After what seemed like 5 songs, I was exhausted and excused myself to get a refreshment. Ethan said he'd catch up with me in a while, so I made my way over to my chair, next to my mother's.
I smiled at the scene in front of me, every one was having so much fun, dancing and talking. The ballroom was filled with beautiful music, this was a night to remember. My train of thought was broken when the music came to an abrupt stop. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come for a special announcement to be made, but first, a few words from Amelia's friends and family."
The first person to hold the audience's attention was Lizetta, she spoke beautiful words that lifted my spirit. Then was cousin John, from Aleria, he was next in line for King. And finally, Ethan took a step to me and offered me his hand, I took his hand and smiled shyly as every eye in the room fell on us.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm not going to address you tonight" he turned to face me and took both my hands in his. Nervousness washed over my body, I looked up to him and my eyes were caught on his. "Princess Amelia, my dear Princess, I've known you since we were toddlers. We grew up together, from the feisty little girl that you were to the beautiful woman standing in front of me today, I've loved every phase you've been through and every step you have taken. I feel so blessed and honoured to know you and to have someone like you in my life." I don't know when I started crying, with joy of course, Ethan smiled at with me with love as he wiped away a tear. "Scarlett, you are everything that I ever wanted and so much more, I love you so very much" and then I heard the crowd gasp as he got on his knee. There he was, kneeling down with the most beautiful ring I've seen.

My breath caught as he spoke the next words. " Amelia Viola Scarlett Blackburn, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"
I found myself crying even more as I nodded at him. "Yes, yes I will". He slipped the ring on my finger and embraced my with his arms. The crowd exploded with shouts of cheers and applause as I laughed and placed a kiss on Ethan's cheek.
