"May I have this dance with you my lady?" he asked me.
The entire crowd gasped in shock as the prince knelt before me. Whispers and murmurs began among them.
My mouth slightly opened at a loss as to how I should deal with this. There were so many young girls he could have chosen from, why did he choose me?
I tried to understand what the prince was thinking as I looked into his eyes. Was this a joke to him? Was he messing with me like that day when he'd suddenly showed up at my house at the estate?
My eyes softened as they looked into his. The look he gave me reminded me of the look he'd given me before, back when we'd met in the imperial city for the first time. When he'd asked me to hug him so he could hide from the imperial knights who were searching for him to take him back to the palace. The eyes he'd given me then looked like they were just pleading with me to just go with it.
