Paul hated being the kings son.
He hated being forced to mistreat the maids, he hated watching his father rule the kingdom with an iron fist and unable to do anything about his tyranny, he hated watching his older brothers slowly poison his younger brothers mind and he hated being judged for his families actions.
Which is why he absolutely did not want to go to this ball, he'd rather have stayed in his room curled up with a book than go but his father had threatened the life of his horse and knowing his father, he wasn't joking.
So that's how Paul found himself in the ballroom, suit on and a mask covering his face. Being forced to dance with women and heaven forbid he looked at a man. That was until he somehow found himself dancing with a tall man.
The man was wearing a fully black suit that looked a little worn, a black mask which covered his face and he had long black hair. Paul stared at the mans eyes and had to take a small step back. They were pure amber, the glowing candlelight making them shine and shimmer, caramel and chocolate flecks running through the amber iris and Paul wished the man was a woman just so he could marry them and stare into their eyes forever.
Another man came up to the taller one, he was rather smaller, he had long black hair and was wearing an outfit similar to the mans, the other whispered to the man who nodded and leaned down, pressing a kiss to Paul's hand,
"It was a pleasure to dance with you your highness" The man said in a deep and smooth voice and as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished. Leaving Paul to stand in the middle of the dance floor wondering what on earth happened.
