Princess Salem spoke up. "Your mother invited me to the ball." "The ball?" She giggled again, making me feel quite foolish as I had no idea what she was talking about. "You are quite funny, Prince Eugene. The ball that is taking place in a few weeks time." Instantly, like a bucket of cold water was dumped over my head, I felt a shiver go through my body. This was my Mother's doing. My guess was she was planning a ball in a few weeks and I could almost guarantee that Princess Salem would not be the only fair lady to be introduced to me in the next few weeks. I took a heavy sigh before plastering a smile on my face. "Of course. That ball." There was not supposed to be any ball. "We are honored you could partake. You came a few weeks early, however." Princess Salem nodded. "The Queen insisted, saying that she would like to have tea with new ladies and she would love to show me around the Beaverland Castle." Guard of the Evergreen Princess (Washington State) is book one and is NOW FINISHED! I suggest reading it first, although not necessary! Prince of the Beaverland is book two, but comes first in timeline order! Both books will intermingle. -=- Written by an interactive author. -=- Updated weekly!
