"Princess, Princess, Princess where are you" "Princess, Princess where are you?" A lot of maids were seen running around the palace looking for someone.
Somewhere in the palace,
"Peek-ab-boo brother." A girl said suddenly appearing at the back of her brother.
"Mahi what are you doing here, aren't you meant to be preparing for the ball?" He asked her making her pout. "But brother, I don't wanna go to the ball and besides who would want to marry a blind gir--" However she was interrupted by her brother.
"What are you talking about?" He said cupping her cheeks "You are beautiful just the way you are, and if anyone speaks about your sight I promise I will take away theirs, and then feed them to my pets, however before feeding them to my pets I am gonna make them beg for mercy at your feet and present their soul and everything that belongs to them to you as your coming of age gift" He said smiling however his eyes were glittering with tears. Sensing it the Mahina quickly cupped his cheeks.
"Brother, although I am blind it does not mean I can't sense whatever is going on. Moreover, brother, we both know you, Mother and Father will do more than that if anything of that sort was to happen, right Mother?" She said making her brother turn around suddenly.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"My dear Lucas, I believe our Mahi is correct." She said walking toward the both of them "And I also believe there won't be a fool who would dare to speak rudely about our princess unless he or she seeks death." She stopped as she gently brushed the hairs of the prince and princess with her fingers. "And if it is death they seek it is death they will receive." She said as she finished brushing their hair.
"And besides Mahina, everyone was worried looking for you everywhere and aren't you both gonna prepare for the ball tonight?" She asked looking at both of them seriously.
Meanwhile
"Your Majesty, we have to go to the Niht Empire tomorrow." A man said looking at the man in black who ruled over hundreds of Realms.
"Cause Asher." The man in black asked.
"The princess's birthday is tomorrow." Asher said.
"Princess, you say." The man in black asked, making Asher's eyes go wide in fear.
"Sephtis, please whatever plans you have can never come true with her." Asher said as he looked at the man named Sephtis in fear.
"And tell me why, my dear friend, give me at least three reasons why I shouldn't take her in as my concubine my dear friend." Sephtis said as he looked at Asher who was still shaking in fear. "My dear friend at least tell me about why you're shaking in fear." He asked.
"Sephtis, I have a lot of reasons to shake in fear, One the Niht Empire are very powerful and more than half of its entire population Loves and supports its Princess, Secondly, the Princess despises men and has never come in contact with any other apart from her family, Thirdly, the Niht royal family has vowed to dispose of anyone who dares to dream about having a relationship with their princess, Fourthly, the Princess is loved and treasured by the gods, fifth, she is blind which affects her mentally and if she is to leave the Empire she won't be able to differentiate between Freind and Foes and if any harm is to befall her that will mean going to war to the Niht Empire. Fifth, we--" Asher was about to continue before he was interrupted by Sephtis.
"I asked for three reasons and here you are about to give me thousands, and also I never promised that I will change my mind after you give me enough reasons my friend." Sephtis said smirking at Asher whose eyes widened in realization.
"My dear friend I believe you need to prepare for your journey to the Niht Empire, right."Sephtis said with a smirk on his face.
"What do you mean by 'your journey' Sephtis aren't you coming along as well." Asher asked with confusion written all over his face.
"Of course, but who needs it when I can do this." He said suddenly appearing behind Asher who felt his heart leap out of his chest when Sephtis suddenly appeared in front of him.
Meanwhile at the Niht Empire
"My princess, you need to get ready it's finally the day of your coming of age." A maid said to Mahina who was still reluctant to attend the ball tonight.
"But, it's not a must for me to celebrate my coming of age I could celebrate it with mother, father, brother and everyone in the palace itself is enough for me." Mahina said while pouting.
"My princess, we all love you so we would appreciate it if you allow us to show a little bit of that love by you attending the ball." The princess's maid Aza said.
"But Aza i--" She was about to speak before she was interrupted.
"We all know my dear queen, you don't need all of this, and yet we're all pleased by every action of yours. Every action of yours has incited every emotion in us. Therefore..." She stopped as she spun her around. "allow us to treat you like the queen you are."
Mahina was about to resort but Aza was already giving out instructions to the maids. Mahina chuckled seeing the scene in front of her.
Later that night (At the ball)
"I wonder why a ball is necessary, I could have had a small party that enough would have been good for me." Mahina murmured to herself as she tried to walk In her ball gown.
"WOW." She suddenly said looking at the dandelions which sparked under the moonlight. "What type of preservation magic was used to sustain this garden, it looks so pretty." She murmured to herself as she spun around in between the dandelions with the moonlight reflecting on her, making her look like a fairy who descended.
Sephtis POV
I am beginning to reflect on my decision of attending this party, however, there is this pull this strong attraction I feel. "Damm, I guess I really need to clear my mind." I felt my soul giving way to my emotions and teleporting myself to where I don't know.
Damm, I needed somewhere to clear my mind and not get myself into feeling the pull even more strongly. I tried to get away but the pull just took over my body. However, before I could take proper control of myself a sight so beautiful I could just take it as a fairytale comes into my sight and the moment our eyes met i knew for certain that she was the one.
