The Royal Duty

Waltz Under The Moonlight

Marshall's POV:

I head towards the dark hallway,that leads to the backdoors of the castle,leading towards the garden,where I can calm my mind,the party is making me a bit anxious ,specially the crowd,until I heard a voice from a nearby tree branch,making me stand up my feet,dissecting my surroundings,

"You're quite the dancer,Prince Marshall," a familliar sarcastic voice was heard,making me shiver at the thought of who it was,the figure nimblely made it's way down to the ground,walking away from the shadows reaveling who he was,

"Chase,where have you been?"I ask,looking at him,noticing that he had worn the clothes I gave him,"Just around,and it seems I was right about the size,"he replied,moving his arms forward,showing that the sleeves fit perfectly,I just laughed it out, as he came closer,until a memory came back from my mind,"Ummm....Chase,about what happened,in the r...ro.room,earlier,"I stuttered,scratching the back of my head,Chase did the same thing,"Oh,about that....."he replied,a short silence filled our surrounding,"I....actually,don't know what to say,about that,weird right?,"he awkwardly replied,followed by small laughter,"Oh,um..then,let's just forget about it,ok?"I spoke,the same gesture as he did,"Deal,"he answered. 'IF,I can forget about it,'

We sitted in the bench,gazing at the stars above us,the magnificent moon was lighting of the garden,accompanied by the fireflies,"So,why leave the party?"he spoke,cutting me in my thoughts,"We'll,the basic reason is the party itself,parties like this,overwhelmed me sometimes,"I mumbled,only loud enough for Chase to hear,"And the...Princess,you two danced pretty great though,?"he continued,"She was nice,her dance steps were top class,but in her tone I feel like,she's looking down at our kingdom,"I replied,slowly gripping my arm,Chase notice this and to my suprised he placed his hand onto mine,"So you just played along,huh?"he asked,making my nerves calm down a little,by his gentle touch that send shivers down my spines,I just nod,as he moved his head left to right,I'm not sure what his doing,but I think his looking if there are some people present in the garden.The sound of frogs,owls and crickets that form a sync in the surrounding,producing gentle music,that was intriguing to the ear,Chase and I heard this,relaxing the soul and mind,the best music from

He removed his touch from mine,walking towards the space in front of me,placing his right hand in his back,as his left hand rose and move in a gentle manner,bowing in front of me,like a gentlemen showing respect from a lady,"May,I have this dance,You're Majesty,"he extended his hand to me,suprising me,"Are yo...you serious?" I ask in a high pitch tone,his eyes answered my question,saying that his serious,followed by a small smile that krept in his mouth,"It would be my pleasure,"I said in an eyerole,knowing that he was just teasing,as soon as I put my hand in his,he immediately pulled me closer to him,since we have the same height,our faces we're like fifteen inches away,a small reddish shade suddenly appeared in my cheeck.

With the help of the beaming moonlight,fireflies started flying everywhere like mere candle lights,a gentle melody was heard from the trees.Chase moved my hand into his shoulder making me a bit embarrass,as I think I look like the maiden here,then in just a moment,Chase placed his hand in my hip making me flinch a bit,he looks into my eyes,telling me it's ok,then his other hand moved into mine,making an embrace of it,and then,we began to moved in a gentle manner,the dance was completely different from the ball,this is more calming,making me feel at ease.

"Do you feel it too?"Chase ask between the dance,suprising me,

"What d..do you mean?"I ask,not making eye contact,and I could feel that Chase's face is starting to create the reddish blush,the same thing that is happening to me,
