*~The Royal Gala of Tears~*
~Third Person's POV~
It was finally the time for the gala.
And as expected famous people are to come to witness the antisocial young Prince in person for the first time.
Not very long, Zess shows himself and waved after that he sat in his throne while greeted by different Royalties of the neighboring countries.
They were astonished by their Rulers mature and demeaning aura a black green eyed handsome man in a white texedo with a matching cape and knee high boots makes the ladies of the court Squeal and faint.
As he sits his throne with pride.
Mary was nowhere to be seen.
The Prince felt a sudden chill at the right side of his back, as he look at the direction, he saw Princess Mei wei staring at him.
He immediately stands up to lock himself to the room yet Prince Io which is standing to his side grabs him while silently lecturing him.
"Your Highness isn't it rude to go out of the party? face your fears,your the soon to be King of this country, show some might will you?"
"Stupid Cousin your enjoying this aren't you?" the irritated Prince says.
Hours had past and Princess Mei wei is getting closer to him, the chill he felt suddenly became a blizzard. He got up to go back to work.
But he warns Io if he will stop him he will immediately stop the party then plan B starts, Io takes over the party.
While he rests in a peaceful secret hiding place to escape the feared Princess Mei, as he run towards his secret place he saw Mary preparing food for him.
He has no hiding spot to go, he decided to stay.
Mary noticed Zess and greeted him a happy birthday much to his surprise,he notices how lovely she became with a gown a simple whit gown with a gold accent and a thin shiny hair that falls until the waist.
He came back to his senses, and sat at the Pavillion while Mary at his left side staring upwards.
It seems like a long night for them, the surroundings are silent only the streaming water and the insects are making a sound.
Mary gathered as much courage as she could to open a topic so that Zess wont be bored but the Antisocial Prince always shuts the topic.
Minute by minute the girl has starting to loose hope seeing Zess all silent while reading a book.
It's almost 12 midnight...Later the silence breaks and the Lounge invited Mary to dance and he asked how did she know his birthday yet the lovely girl replied her becoming her no. 1 fan then Zess asked what is no. 1 fan means.
Mary pauses for a moment deeply breaths and honestly confesses her Feelings "King Zess I like you!"
Zess freeing his hands, the dance has ended and Mary falls to the ground "Ummm...it's not like I'm hoping to get a yes, it's one sided anyway but I really do mean what I just said."
Zess responded directly and coldly answers her with a "No."
"I thought so, it's impossible but someday!" even though she's saddened by the the cold response Mary continue to serve him and offers a cake.
But Zess is getting irritated and swayed the plate on Mary's hand. "Why are you acting like you still have a chance, I told you 'No' so give up!! I don't trust you, I think I'll vomit if I eat that poisonned food?!! No matter what your motif is...Give it--"
Zess didn't finished his words after seeing the terrified Mary cried.
"Y-you control the world but now you're being a childish, there are many who looks up to you yet you look down on them DO NOT UNDERISTIMATE LOVE you hear! You've done greatly enough for your people please let us serve you in exchange...trust your people more you hear?!! Your not like that long ago!!"
Zess was surprised at himself saying such painful words to an innocent lady...
