"Welcome everyone. Today, we have gathered together to celebrate the opening of the perfect palace where 4 of the princes from our neighboring kingdoms and our very own princess will live and study."
The audience clapped as the announcer waited for the audience to settle before continuing.
"But before anything else, let me present to you our guests. All the way from the kingdom of Polo, King Midas, Queen Arthal and their son, Prince Marcos."
The audience applauded every time a kingdom was introduced.
"From the kingdom of Crest King Solomon, Queen Silia and their son, Prince Klaus."
"From the kingdom of Merci Queen Ynna and Prince Casper. Unfortunately, King Travis was busy for their up coming festival but the Queen has granted us the honor of her presence to this occassion."
"And last but not the least, from the kingdom of the Dragons, King Arthur and his son, Prince Christopher."
The audience murmured that made Reo curious why they had a different approach from everybody else. When she looked closely from the crowd, she noticed the king was familiar.
Heck. It's the guy that slapped me.
King Arthur noticed her stare and gave her a smile. She awkwardly smiled back. The announcer continued and explained the rules of the perfect palace that seemed so blurred out to Reo because she was so focused on the stranger she met on the woods.
She only came back to reality because of the audience's clapping.
"And now, a dance offered by our very own palace orchestra."
The music started and everyone started to dance.
Prince Casper stepped forward and asked for Reo's hand. She looked at her father who was observing very keenly. She rolled her eyes and accepted Casper's hand.
They started to sway to the music when Reo felt a step on her foot.
"S-sorry! I-I didn't mean to. I'm really bad at dancing." Casper said embarrassed about what happened.
Reo giggled at how adorable this young prince is.
"We'll take it slow, okay?" she smiled that brought Casper to blush so much.
They started to dance again and Reo endured every step that landed on her foot just so Casper wouldn't be embarrassed. Casper noticed this that made him blush a bit.
When the music changed, another prince came forward to ask for a dance. Casper gave Reo's hand to Marcos who gave her a smile so wide it reached his eyes.
They started to dance to the mood of the music. They were silent for a while when Marcos started to talk.
"So, what sport do you like?" Marcos asked.
"I play soccer a lot. It just makes my veins rush so much whenever I'm in the field." Marcos continued. Knowing this, Reo became excited making her smile brightly that she held both Marcos' hand in excitement.
"I play soccer, too! Boy! I have always felt like it's so looked down on by everyone! But now look at you!"
"No way! We should play sometimes! I can teach you a bunch of tricks!" Marcos replied.
"Not if I teach you something first!"
They both giggled and continued dancing and talking about the sport they both love.
"I believe it's my turn to dance, Princess." Klaus interrupted the both of them.
Marcos and Reo stopped dancing and bowed to each other when Marcos smiled and winked at Reo which made her laugh. Klaus held Reo's hand as they started dancing.
