( KING POV )



As soon as the first woman entered the room I remembered why I hated these balls with a passion, the weak simpering and money grabbing women coming to me one by one; some with families or escorts and some alone but all the same. Fake smiles and false complements falling from their overly painted lips, it sickened me to my stomach and despite her sweet smile which remained in place I knew mother felt the same; and my patience for them was lower than ever. Finally they stopped coming and I was left to watch the various people talking and dancing away the night, and I instantly wished I wasn't here; Adam behind my throne chuckling quietly at my clear dislike of the proceedings when he thought I couldn't hear him. As time passed I continued to glance at the doors at the top of the small staircase, a frown working its way onto my lips wondering why Nike and my chosen had not yet arrived; glancing at my mother I noted her gesturing for me to calm. Forcing the calm mask back onto my face, but I felt the growing impatience growing; just as I turned to Adam ready to order him away to find them I heard the doorman's voice ring out again. Whirling to face the doors my chest tightened as Y/N was announced, the doors being opened far too slowly as she finally came into view; and my breath stilled in my chest as I took in the vision that would be my queen. Her dress flowed around her as if it was a second skin, the corset sitting just right making her breast sit up and together making them seem even larger than they had been; one of our families sapphires sitting in the cleft of them shimmering with the light as she breathes making it move with her. From the corner of my eye I noticed my mother's satisfied smile telling me she approved of the entrance, and I completely agreed as Y/N glided with all the grace of any royal down the stairs and onto the long expanse of the carpet leading to the dais my throne stood on; her head held high and her eyes focused on where she was headed but not making direct contact with my own as was expected of her. Nike was close behind her acting as demure as was possible for her, I internally nodded in approval as she glanced around each time a murmur came about the Lady walking in front of her; I could hear them as well of course they had begun as soon as Y/N was announced.


It was to be expected with an unknown lady entering the courts finest, some were of admiration and others questioning her and commenting on how she had never been heard of before; I had to force myself not to scowl when the jealous and hateful women began to pick faults that were not there spreading falsehoods. My future queen however stayed calm her stride never faltering as she approached us, and my pride in her growing with each step she came closer; knowing I had chosen well and that she would thrive at my side once she was settled. When she finally reached the bottom of the steps of my dais she curtsied staying down eyes watching the floor, Nike doing the same behind her only rising after she did; and when she rose and looked into my eyes I felt myself glow with pride and the want in me grown for her all the more. "Your majesties. It's a pleasure to attend tonight, and to be in your presence; I am at your service" A broad smile broke out on my face as I watched her pledge to us as few had, it was a great sign of respect and unknowingly to her only sealed her place at my side all the more; after all she was in my service to do with as I please. Mother however was the first to respond, her voice far warmer than it had been when she spoke to the women before her; showing her favour to Y/N over others. "The pleasure is ours Lady Y/N. I hope you enjoy this evening" Noting my mother was finished I smiled watching Y/N's E/C eyes come back to meet my own, feeling the small shiver of excitement run down my spine; wanting those eyes to stay locked on me. "Thank you for attending tonight Lady Y/N L/N, as my mother said it is our pleasure that you have come tonight as our guest of honour; please enjoy the ball" The murmurs returned full force as I announce her being my guest of honour, giving her a whole new level of mystery to her; exactly as I wanted. I wanted the other women to envy her, however the looks of admirations and desire on the men attending was enough to make me clench my jaw; catching Nike's eye as Y/N bowed once more before moving away I silently sent the order to watch her. A slight nod was my response as she took the order and I watched her fall in line just a step behind Y/N at her side, she would not fail me and keep unwanted men away; so for now I remained in my throne as the ball commence. I would watch for now and see how my intended handled herself, later I would have to mingle before I could join her; so for now I enjoyed watching her glancing away something so no one became suspicious. It wouldn't do to have the surprise ruined, for the guests or my intended herself; my eyes glanced at the smaller empty throne at my side a slow smile growing... very soon it wouldn't be empty any longer.
