The palace was bustling with various activities ranging from servants cleaning and rearranging the interior of the Palace and decorating it.
The princess feeling giddy about what was about to come couldn’t help but blush at the thought of her fantasy.
She had taken her time to spread rumors about the Prince and her and believed that since the Prince hadn’t cared about addressing the rumors maybe just maybe he was also into her and he didn’t know how to act like it since he was known to be a cold-blooded man everywhere his name was mentioned.
Today will be all about me and the Prince no one else will be able to take him from me tonight her eye’s shining with a hidden glint as she was been dressed up in her room for the ball that will soon be taking place.
Careful you fools be more gentle she reprimanded her attending maids.
Sorry your highness the maids said in unison despite not knowing what the did wrong this time again.
Well what can the said,the were already used to the princess bratty behavior.
On the other side of the castle Prince Thane the man of the moment couldn’t care less about the event taking place tonight as he was only looking forward to meeting up with one person tonight.
Looking out of his window for some fresh air he noticed the guards who were stationed by the king for his safety to guard him and scoffed again he still couldn’t get used to their presence because he knew the real motive of them being their.
Hypocrites he muttered under his breath feeling irritated.
Again there was a knock on his door for God knows the number of time now.
Opened the door to see a maid who was assigned to help him get dressed despite him refusing the help slammed the door to her face yet again and having had enough of the people constantly surrounding him due to the bustling of the Palace made his way out to the garden while calling out his two subordinate to keep him company till the ceremony that he didn’t know the need for it started.
Princess Jasminda, resplendent in her gown, makes her way to the grand ballroom, her heart racing with excitement.
Determined to make a lasting impression on Prince Thane and is convinced that he is also interested in her despite his aloof exterior.
Meanwhile, Prince Thane, accompanied by his loyal subordinates, strolls through the garden, seeking refuge from the chaos.
His mind is preoccupied with meeting one person – Camilla, the mysterious woman he was planning to unravel during his stay in this kingdom but little does he know, their paths will cross in unexpected ways tonight.
As the guests arrive, the ballroom fills with laughter and music.
Princess Jasminda takes her place beside her parents, the king and queen who already made their presence known earlier while Prince Thane makes a striking entrance, his eyes scanning the room for a glimpse of his new found interest or was it love he didn’t know but he planned to find out slowly.
The night is young with a promising atmosphere.
As the night wears on, Princess Jasminda attempts to engage Prince Thane in conversation, but he seems distracted, his eyes darting around the room.
She tries to impress him with stories of her royal duties, but he responds with brief, polite smiles.
Just as she was about to give up, a commotion at the entrance catches everyone’s attention.
A young woman, dressed in a simple yet elegant gown had arrived, her presence commanding the room’s attention as she was fashionably late.
Her parents heaved a sigh of relief upon noticing her presence in the ball and decided to leave her be as they went to interact with other high level ministers.
Camilla ignoring the attention she was getting looked around the place for a place she could sit quietly before making her way to the single chair that was unoccupied at the moment and as she sat down Prince Thane’s eyes lock onto hers, and he excused himself from the princess’s side.
Camilla the lady he had been waiting for had arrived and he wasn’t about to keep on entertaining another woman by his side duty or not it was his moment tonight after all. The source of this chapter is novelping(.)com.
Prince Thane’s gaze was drawn to her like a magnet but before he could walk over to her he was momentarily snapped out of his thoughts when the king he heard the king’s voice coming from the podium as he stands to address his people.
Greetings people of Lunaria Kingdom King Ryker’s spoke authoritatively and his voice boomed across the hall his people were gathered.
After a moment of pausing to gather the people’s attention he began speaking again.
We are gathered here today to celebrate they coming of The Crown Prince Thane of the Valtoria kingdom and for choosing our kingdom to come select a wife for himself and of course our princess being the first to go through with this formal selection in hopes of a peaceful collaboration with the vampire kingdom.
The princess upon hearing her father’s declaration beamed while Prince Thane for the umpteenth time since today scoffed again at the audacity of the king to insinuate such thing that could cause a misunderstanding.
We hope that who ever gets chosen from this land will bring back good reputation and Mark the beginning of the first heard union of a vampire and a werewolf being joined together in marriage he gaze landing on his daughter as he made this statement which earned a bow from the princess.
To the growth of Lunaria Kingdom he spoke again and raised his glass of wine.
To the growth of Lunaria Kingdom the crowd echoed with mixed sentiments as he walked off the podium.
Surely he doesn’t think that we won’t be competing with Princess Jasminda over the Prince affection a girl by the name Lady Imara the king’s beta’s daughter whispered to her friend who was standing beside her as the faced the Princess who had her back on them.
Lady Adara’s expression turned ugly when she heard this statement.

Prince Thane who was glad to have turned his speech he was supposed to rendered smiled as nothing was keeping him busy at the moment.
Ignoring the princess who was hovering around him like a fly he made his way to Camilla’s side who was stunned upon seeing him truly walking towards her direction.
