"Hi!" a cheery voice pulled Hinrik away from his thoughts of Ysabel. The shadow of a slender figure disrupted his view of the princess.
But not wanting to be rude, Prince Hinrik smiled and shifted his gaze to the person who decided to join him in the corner.
"Princess Maliya," Hinrik tilted his head, greeting the princess as genuinely as he could.
Without another word, Princess Maliya extended her hand to him, smiling like she had won the lottery.
"Care to dance?"
Prince Hinrik wanted to play surprised. But this wasn't the first time that a lady had approached him first.
For others, that would have been something to boast about. But for Hinrik, he finds it rather bothersome because he cannot reject it. Declining would embarrass the lady, and Hinrik wouldn't want that.
