"So, can I have a dance with you? Or do I have to wait?" Lukas asked, holding his hand out to Esther
"Is your ego still bigger than your brain?'' Esther asked, tilting her head
"No, my brain is way bigger since of the knowledge that I learned," Lukas smirked
"Your still the same," Esther placed her hand in his
"Jackson, I'll bring Elliana back after the song ends," Anastasios said as he held Elliana's hand
"No need to ask him, Prince Anastasios. Now, let's go before the song ends," Elliana pulled him towards the floor
"Well be back," Esther said to Jackson and Nathaniel, before walking towards the floor with Lukas
The two pairs danced, chatting with each other or being focused on not stepping on each others feet.
"Lukas, who is this, young lady?" A man said, making the pair stop
Lukas and Esther stopped and looked at the man. Esther's eyes widening.
"Father, this is my friend, Esther," Lukas introduced
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Esther," He said, grabbing Esther's hand and kissing it
Esther flinched and pulled her hand away, "It's nice to meet you, Your Majesty," Esther curtsy
"I'm surprised to know my son has a friend that we don't know about," Oslo stared at Esther
"Well, he probably had a reason. Well if you excuse me, I have to go to my father," Esther cursty and walked off, but a hand grabbed her wrist
"Can you give me the honor of dancing with you?" Oslo held his hand out
"I'm sorry, your majesty, but I can't. I have to get to my father," Esther apologize, trying to get out of his hold, but he tighten his grip
"One dance wouldn't hurt, would it?" He glared at Esther
"I-it wouldn't,"
"Father, Es-,"
"She said its fine, Lukas. Go find another dance partner or talk to Anastasios," Oslo pulled Esther to the floor
Oslo got into position, pulling Esther to close to him.
"Your Majesty, we shouldn't be close to each other," Esther said, putting space between them
"Do you know who I am?" He asked, staring down at her
"Of course. You're King Oslo of Xiao," Esther said
She couldn't believe what was happening. That crazed blue eye man or Israel was King Oslo. She felt luck wasn't on her side.
"That's not all. Who else am I?" He got close to her ear
Esther froze, but continued to move stiffly.
"Answer me, Esther," Oslo tighten his grip on her hip
"Jus-,"
"Oslo, what are you doing, dear?" Esther pushed away from Oslo and cursty to Queen Kana and Princess Olivia
"Good evening, your highnesses," Esther said, her head down, thanking them for saving her in her mind
"And who may you be?" Kana asked, glaring at her
"I'm no one important," Esther said, her head still lowered
"You aren't no one if my husband danced with you,"
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't say no to his majesty. It's against my education of respecting the Royals. Please forgive me, Queen Kana,"
