Lady Adara and Lady Imara not wanting to pass upon this opportunity of him being away from the annoying house fly as the termed her despite being best friends with the princess blocked his path.
Prince Thane who was already annoyed beyond reasonable doubt and barely controlling himself was about to lash out on them when Axel timely interference saved the day.
Subtly placing one hand on the Prince back he made to bring him away when the ladies also blocked the path again making Axel wonder if the really wanted to lose their lived today of all days by angering the Prince despite his patience hanging on a thin thread.
Having had enough Prince Thane address them with a polite smile that wasn’t polite at the same time.Those who knew him would know that he was really passed off now and would do anything to stay out of his sight now.
What can I help you ladies with if I may ask he politely asked the ignorant fools in front of him.
Lady Imara who had already gone into shock for being dragged to stand in front of him couldn’t make out a word as she kept stuttering.
Lady Adara on the other hand bravely looked at the Prince and answered him.
We would love to dance with his highness if he permits and Princess Jasminda turned to look at Lady Adara with a shocked expression and a hint of betrayal evident on her face but she was more shocked by the Prince next statement.
Sorry I already have a date tonight and now it was Camilla turn who couldn’t care less about what was going on as she kept playing with her phone to be shocked as she looked up at the Prince.
She couldn’t shake of the feeling of the her being the Prince date and she regretted not obeying her guy feelings by staying at home as she could feel the headache coming.
Minister Mark’s daughter,Camilla Emberstone would you do me the honor of being my date tonight,dance with me please Prince Thane asked humbly as he stood in front of her his behavior more naturally than before.
Princess Jasminda who was patiently waiting for the moment the prince would ask her out for a dance clenched her hands on her sides as she felt her heart shattering not knowing the way to deal with the pain that was spreading around fast in her chest area.
What the Prince was doing was akin to slapping her in the face and out of her delusions despite knowing about most people in the kingdom already seeing them as a couple and was only waiting for today to officially confirm their relationship.
Well she should have known when he rejected the clothes she sent him this morning as she wanted them to match clothes.
Camilla feeling the pressure from the crowd composed herself as she placed her hand on the Prince out stretched own and elegantly stood up deciding not to dash her parents hope who were looking at her like their world depended on it.
Maybe due to fear or shock she couldn’t tell but she didn’t have time to think about them nor did she have much of a choice so she just accepted her fate as it came as the Prince led her to the dance floor.
The royal family who was sitting on their throne looked at the couple with a dumbfounded expression and King Ryker who already had so much planned knew this was the Prince was of telling him to back off.
Well their is still room for change he thought and just decided to go with the Prince flow tonight.
As they couple dance Camilla tried her best to mask her inability to do the dance properly.
Calm down,you are doing great Prince Thane assured again just look at me and forget that we have an audience watching us and Camilla complied.
As the dance grew more intense to the spectators watching the could see the intense chemistry blooming between both as they exchanged whispered words, their body language speaking volumes of a hidden connection.
As Princess Jasminda watches, her heart sinking in jealousy, as Prince Thane and Camilla share a dance, their eyes locked in a way that makes her feel like an outsider.
She realizes too late that her rumors and schemes have been for naught.
Prince Thane’s already attention belongs to another.
Axel who was standing not too far from the couples dancing heard a ding sound on his phone what was resting inside his pocket opening the message signaling Asher to take over he strolled out to take a look at the situation outside the hall incase it was a false alarm.
Before he could fully open the secret door he discouraged that led outside directly his nose was assaulted by the smell of blood he was perceiving which he in turn quicken his steps to go outside the door. This story is hosted at novelping.com.
Bloody mother fuckers he cursed under his breath at the gruesome scene outside.
Bodies of the soldiers who he passed on his way to the ball in the early hours of the ball time were scattered everywhere and some where in worst state than the other.
Axel who still couldn’t get used to the sight despite being a vampire himself couldn’t help but puke as he thought about his next actions.
No,the shouldn’t have gone far he thought in his mind and he made to run inside and inform his Prince when swoosh sound came from behind him and he barely dodged in time.
And he turned fully to face the three men behind him.
Hello lapdog Axel,remember me one of the men spoke up.
Axel eyed him warily as he tried to remember where he had heard his voice before as if gave him a deep sense of familiarity.
Away from the chaos happening outside the palace the inside was livelier as everyone was still clueless about the bloody mess wait for them outside.
The couple had stopped dancing as soon as the music came to an end.
Camilla made her way straight to the restroom and Princess Jasminda who was looking for an opportunity to speak with her waited a before following her.
Camilla upon seeing the reflection of the princess on the mirror wasn’t surprised but she wasn’t foolish to start the confrontation first.
Hello Camilla,Jasminda greeted as she couldn’t bear the silence any longer.
Meeting her gaze on the mirror Camilla returned her greeting with less enthusiasm.
I love the Prince and I would appreciate it if you leave us alone the princess said holding her gaze as she clenched her knuckles behind her back not wanting to appear unlike in front of her love rival.
