Outsides the hotel.
A black SUV stopped. The door of the car opened. A handsome young man in black tuxedo alighted. He had black hair with a tinge of purple shade in them. He was on par with models and heartthrobs.
The air around him was cold. He was covered in an arrogant mist. He walked the red carpet like he owned it. His gait was upright and confident. He was full of imposing manner.
He walked the red carpet without paying any heed towards the reporters. The reporters clicked his pictures like some crazy fans. He was one of the people who never goes public. Who always stays behind the scenes.
But this time was an exception, this party was hosted by the Royal family of Country A, The Dain family. Dains were never fond of hosting such lavish balls or parties. They were always low-key and conservative. But this time it was a rare exception.
This man was none other than the young marshal of Country K. His name is Joshua Wyatt Grayson. He was appointed as the marshal when he was twenty-three. Now he was twenty-six. He was famous for his bravery, intelligence, scheming ways, and his reputation as the lady-killer.
"Mr Grayson, Are you here for a collaboration between you and Dain family?" asked the Reporter 1.
"Are you here for declaring a war?" asked the Reporter 2.
"Mr Grayson, Are you together with actress Kate Tim?" asked the Reporter 3.
"Is she your girlfriend?" asked the Reporter 4.
"Or is it just a hype?" asked the reporter 5.
He ignored the questions of the reporters and went straight into the hotel after showing his invitation to the guards. He was infamous for his arrogant nature. So almost all the reporters were familiar with the cold temperament of the ice-cold mountain who never melts.
After the commotion for Joshua died down. Another car stopped in front of the carpet. The door of the car opened. Three young men alighted from the car. These young men were Prince Adler Teagan Gaumond, and young masters of Tang and Liu family, Xander Tang and Mason Liu. Both of them are from the aristocratic families of County C.
They smiled politely for the camera but refused to answer reporter's questions. They displayed their invitations to the guards and went inside the hotel.
Many guests arrived at the venue. They adorned the red carpet with their feet. Some of them were polite and kind, while the other was full of pride and arrogance.
Another person who came to the venue was a woman. She had foxy eyes. She had a mole on her vermillion border. She was wearing a pink dress looking sweet and innocent. But her eyes tell otherwise.
She was the young missy of Desmond family, Ophelia Saffron. She walked gracefully down the carpet and entered the hotel after showing her invitation.
After some time all the guests have arrived. The media remained outside for a sudden piece of news.
Inside the hotel.
The hotel Dain family booked was one of their properties. This hotel was lavish and had unique architecture.
This hotel was personally designed by the Dain siblings. Bella, Anas and Nada teamed up for this project. The hotel was almost a small world.
The hotel had different landscapes around it. The rooms and Halls were lavish.
the party was held in Hall 1 which was quite huge.
All the guests walked around and talked with each other. Some were discussing business. While some were trying to make a connection. The ladies were matchmaking their children.
Luis and Aleesa welcomed the guests together. Orhan and Eleonora were also busy entertaining the guests. Aman and Crystal were also busy conversing with the guests. Liam and Emma were also entertaining the guests.
Everyone knew that Ayer, Dain, and Gaumond family have a deep friendship. So it was reasonable for them to help the Dain family in entertaining the honourable guests.
While everyone present in the hall was busy chatting Mr Aurbery announced the presence of the Princes and Princesses.
"Prince Owen, Prince Silas, Pince Anas, and Princess Mirabella of the Dain Family,"
"Prince Alan, Prince Ahad, and Princess Ava of Ayer Family,"
"Prince Theodoric Enzo, Prince Adler Teagan, and Princess Renée of Gaumond, are here."
Everyone looked towards the entrance and went into a trance seeing the dazzling and beautiful people walking together.
Even though all of them were making their entrance together. They didn't talk or greeted each other formally before coming inside the hall.
They all then went towards the centre and elegantly waved at everyone as a form of greeting.
Soon the hall reverberated with whispers of people.
"Wow, the royal genes are truly impeccable," said the Guest 1.
"You're right. They all have exceptional looks," said the Guest 2.
"Umm, well all of them are here but where is the famous youngest Princess of Dain family," said Guest 3.
"I heard that she is abroad for her studies," said Guest 4.
"Ohh, but I have heard a lot about her. Many say that she is the rarest gem in all the royal gems," said Guest 5.
"What is her name?" asked Guest 6 who didn't know much about the royal family.
"You don't know the name of youngest Princess," said the Guest 7 with astonishment.
Guest 6 shook her head.
"Her name is Aergul Nada Dain," answered Guest 4.
On the other side of the hall. Some people were gossiping about the relationship between the Royal children.
"Do you know that today King Orhan will be announcing the engagement of his elder children," said Guest 8.
"Yes, I heard it. Insider news is that Prince Ahad of Country M is getting engaged to a missy from a normal yet rich family," said Guest 9.
"Are you sure?" asked Guest 10.
"Yes," replied Guest 9.
"How I wish, I could marry Prince Owen. He is so handsome," said Guest 11.
"You should stop dreaming. He is out of your league," said Guest 10.
"Stop you people. I am sure that I can hook up with Prince Ahad," said Guest 12.
"Huh, Prince Ahad. He is not your cup of tea. Remember, He is also getting engaged," said Guest 11.
"What? Who is the Girl?" asked Guest 12 shocked.
"Umm, I'm not sure but she is the young miss of Stormer family," said Guest 11.
"Stormer family. But they are not much prominent," said Guest 12.
"So what?" said Guest 11.
They were oblivious of the girl standing behind them. She was listening to their conversation with keen interest.
She was none other than Naira Stormer's step-sister Dina. She was not a Stormer and she knew who was the young miss of Stormer family they were referring to, It was Naira. Her eyes turned red.
She clutched her hands. Her long nails dig into her palm. She was seething with anger. She was cursing Naira for her luck.
She was still blaming Naira for her downfall. But she didn't know that bad can not last long.
She was fuming when an idea struck her. She smiled devilishly looking at Naira who was chatting with Renée and Mirabella.
"I'll see what you'll do now Naira," said Dina to herself.
On the other hand, Nada who was dressed as Anas was talking with Owen and Silas.
"Nada, why are you dressed as Anas? And Where is he?" asked Owen.
"Bro, Keep a chill and shut up," replied Nada as she walked away.
She then went to her father and grandfather. They were giving some orders to Mr Aurbery and John(Orhan's assistant).
"Baba, Grandpa, relax. Everything will be fine," said Nada.
"Hmm, Anas(*they called her Anas to avoid suspiciousness), but where is he?" asked Luis.
"In the control room. Don't worry everything is under control," said Nada.
Nada was talking with Luis and Orhan when she felt a gaze on her. She knew exactly who it was. She continued her conversation with Orhan and Luis without paying any heed to that person.
Owen and Silas also saw this. They were surprised to see him observing her.
"Bro, is it just me or Ice emperor is staring at our sister?" asked Silas.
"Silas you are right. He is staring at her," said Owen.
"But how did she provoke the ice emperor who never laid an eye on anyone before," said Silas.
"Maybe he fell in love with her," said Owen.
"Hey, It is The Prince Theodoric we're talkin' about. And she is Anas right now. She is a man," said Silas.
"You're overthinking just stop it," said Owen.
While they were bickering they didn't notice Theo walking towards Nada.
Theo walked towards her and held out his hand saying, "Good evening King Orhan, Grandpa Luis, Prince Anas."
He said the last part in a tone which held a hidden meaning.
"Good evening, Prince Theodoric," said Orhan while shaking his hand.
"You can just call me Theo," said Theo.
"Then you should call me uncle, child," said Orhan.
Theo nodded.
"Good, You've grown to be a very handsome man," said Luis.
"Thank you for your praise, Grandpa," replied Theo humbly.
"Hahaha, I heard that you are getting retired from your post of General," asked Luis.
"Yes, Grandpa for the past few years I've been running my business and my general position together. I think its time for me to retire," replied Theo.
Theo was deliberately getting closer to Nada. Nada moved away a little. But Theo again moved closer to her.
Seeing the interaction between Nada and Theo a particularly jealous man in the hall clenched his right hand. He held a glass in that hand and started bleeding. His assistant wrapped the wound with a handkerchief for now.
Orhan excused himself and went to Aman and Liam Gaumond.
Then the three friends went on the stage together and Orhan held the mic from Mr Aurbery.
He greeted everyone and said, "I hope you all are enjoying the party. Today the sole purpose of this party is not only to celebrate the return of the young Princes and Princess from abroad but also I would like to announce the engagement of my elder children."
The people started whispering. Some were shocked to hear this announcement while some were envious of the future son and daughters-in-law of the Dains.
Then Nada disguised ad Anas went on the stage and held the mic from her father. She then said in a manly voice.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am the youngest child of Orhan Dain, Anas Dain.
I will be happy to announce that my eldest brother, Prince Owen Dain will be engaged to Princess Ava Ayer of Country M.
My second brother, Prince Silas will get engaged to Princess Renée Gaumond of Country C.
My sister Princess Mirabella will be getting engaged to the Prince of Country M Prince Alan Ayer.
And My cousin brother Prince Ahad Ayer of Country M will be getting engaged to Miss Naira Stormer of Stormer family."
