"Introducing the crown prince, his highness Kiel Wiscount and the crown princess, her highness, Mara Wiscount," the valet announced to the people below who all turned their eyes to look up at the couple.
Mara and Kiel walked down the stairs down the stairs and Kiel stretched out his hand at the bottom of the stairs. She placed her hand on his and they walked all the way to the King's table. As they passed by the demons, they all bowed. Mara was critical about this as she knew how much demons looked down on humans.
They walked to King Lucian and he got up from his throne. They bowed. "Welcome Mara officially to the Dark Realm. I am so glad to have a daughter like you. Congratulations son," The King said with a smile. Both of them bowed. Mara was happy to know at least the first family appreciated her and they loved especially her husband.
"Now that the main guest are here after taking their sweet time, I believe we can commence the celebration," the King announced to the demons and they all laughed knowingly looking at the couple. Mara looked down turning pink. Couples took to the dance floor. Mara and Kiel watched on while they ate. One thing that Mara noticed was that the King was a very jovial and talkative person. But where was the queen?
"May I have this dance milady," Kiel stood up and stretched out his hand for her. Mara took it and was led to the dance floor. All the other couples cleared the dance floor for them. Mara was quite confident about her dancing skills so she didn't think she would embarrass herself.
[May I ask a question, I hope I'm not going to sound insensitive] Kiel smiled at her and nodded. She had decided to use her mind to ask questions as he could read it anyway. This was actually better as now she could ask anything without being heard.
[Where is the queen?] She looked up at him and saw a sad look on his face. "Umm my mother is sick but don't worry, I will take you to see her soon," he said sadly. [I'm sorry and yeah I would love to meet her] Other couples started joining the dance floor.
"Milady, can I have this dance?" Mara turned around to see Zan holding out his hand. An angry growl came from Kiel to his best friend but Zan yanked Mara from his hand and took him away. Mara laughed out seeing how the two behaved with each other. They were just like siblings.
"Hey princess," Zan said when they started dancing. "Hello Zan," she said happily. "I hope you are having a great time here. The dark realm can be a lot he-he I hope Kiel is treating you well," he said. She could see in his eyes that he was genuine and she loved it.
"Yes he is amazing," she said but as she turned to look at him, he was dancing with a lady with a red gown whose breast were all out leaving little to nothing to the imagination. Something in her churned and she couldn't help but glare at his direction. He was giggling happily with the lady.
"Oh my Lord princess, you seem possessive," Zan laughed. "Oh you do not have to worry about her, Kiel dumped her a week ago," Zan said casually.
"A week!" Mara shouted getting the attention of every demon in the ballroom. Even the people playing the music stopped to look. Zan froze. He hadn't thought that the princess would react that way. He had forgotten that the ways of humans was different for the demons. This was surely going to be the last day on earth for sure.
Mara looked around and found that everyone was staring at her. Damn of course they would. She was already sticking out like a sore thumb for being the only human in the realm. They didn't like her for that and we're scrutinizing her every move. Now she had overreacted because of jealousy. If they found out, she would stain her face and the royal family's.
"A week! Just a week Zan?" She pulled her best acting skills on the now confused Zan. "A week is too short to study every part of this castle and it's architecture. It's huge and beautiful! This work of art should not be rushed over. No! I will take my time to study every ounce of it. The builders were really the best," she winked at Zan who now understood what was going on. He nodded his head vigorously.
"Tis' I your highness who was responsible for the said, work of art. Of course with the guidance of his majesty. We did all the renovations. Thank you for your praise," an old gentle demon said bowing. [Holy mother!] What trouble had she gotten herself into.
"Please your highness, I'd be happy to explain to you in DETAIL," he stressed, " on how every part of this castle is crafted. It is very rare for women to be interested in such things such as architecture," he said and they laughed together with the old men who had now come closer to see the rare site of a woman loving manly jobs. Mara laughed too with them. [I am exactly those women!] She shouted in her head.
"Oh we should invite her to see the other city's architecture, she seems to have an eye," another said. [Oh this is bad. what do I know about architecture! Curse you Zan!]
"Oh no I wouldn't want to impose on anyone," she said trying to wiggle herself out of it.
"No certainly not, we would be glad to show you around," the old man countered.
" Gentlemen, I'd also love to bring her there but not now, maybe later as we are still on our honeymoon," Kiel said hugging his waist, "If you take her away,how are we going to make an heir," he continued and all the men laughed while she turned pink.
[I cannot believe you. Also I am mad at you] She tele-communicated to him and went to sit.
