Chapter 6 - chapter 5

As they got closer to the Palace, Rose's eyes went open, she had never seen the entrance to the castle, as she always had to drop him off back, but now looking at it was breathtaking, the castle walls were white and the courtyard was massive and the fountain in the middle caught her eyes, it was the present king, holding up a sword, he looked, well she didn't have the words to explain, he looked focus and well handsome, she couldn't believe herself calling a statue handsome, she quickly focused back on the people going in, they looked more magnificent, the party was truly for the rich, she thought as they got out for the carriage," my lady" William said bringing his hand forward, she giggled and put her hand in his, as they walked into the Palace, the interior was splendid, the halls sparkled as if they were made in gold" It looks nice" Richard said looking starstrucked," it does doesn't it" he said," rosy you came" Rose froze as she heard lila's voice, she didn't know why they were still hell bent on having a relationship with her,she turned around and Richard quickly left, he didn't want to be apart of the drama," yes I did someone managed to convince me" she said as they got closer," I'm glad you came and can i say how gorgeous your dress looks" she said, yes it is most beautiful" Sofia said," thank you" she replied," where did you get it from" she asked," well it's a gift" she answered," the person has quite a good eye" she continued,rose wanted to say something but was interrupted by the sound of trumpets, everyone quickly distanced themselves from a red carpet that was just unfolded and formed two lines, as the large doors opened whispers spread around the halls, a man with a red robe, adorned with gold material was seen entering the hall, gasps spread out, no one had ever seen the king as his coronation was a closed one, but seeing him up upclose was truly a splendor, his long dark hair fell upon his shoulders, his eyes were brown and he had long lashes, that she was sure could make women jealous, his features were sharp but at the same time felt comforting, he gave a smile as he walked up to the throne, she saw a woman faint a few steps away from her, she shook her head, the next to come in were the dukes, they had the same features with the king except the king looked more handsome compared to them, but no doubt these women would still throw themselves at them, the last duke was the one that caught her attention, she felt a sense of familiarity, he looked into the crowd and their eyes met for a second, he looked away as she did and continued his walk, she felt the same way thr day she locked eyes with those red orbs and unlike the rest of the dukes he wore a deep frown, as if he was forced to be here and his aura was heavy," I believe that is the dark lord" lila said," are you sure lila i heard he was ugly what I'm seeing here is a god" Sophia said starstrucked looking at the Lord and rose herself had to admit that she herself was amazed by his beauty, unlike the rest of the dukes and the king,he had short hair not too short but not as long as the rest, his eyes were neither dark nor brown,they were in the middle of the mixture of both colours, he seemed cold as if coming next to him could freeze you in a heartbeat, he definitely wouldn't have women swarming around him, she thought with a laugh," what's so funny rose" lila asked," well nothing just a thought that occurred to me" she replied," ok nevermind that between the dark lord and the king who do you find mote handsome" she asked," for me I find the king breathtaking " she continued, rose looked thoughtful," I don't know to be honest neither of them spark my interest" she replied, lila looked at her like as if she had run mad," rose how could both of them not spark your interest" as she finished trumpets were heard again," introducing his royal majesty, the ruler of this great kingdom, slandia , the first of his name, the protector of this land, king xander" a thunderous roar of applause was heard at the announcement, the king stood up and bowed as they placed a crown on top of his head, he stood straight up and sat back down,"now the duke of brynclir, lord herve" another round of applause was heard,as the duke stood up, he gave a quick smile and sat down back," secondly, the duke of roshire, lord krism" the same thing happened," the duke of stabrok, lord gabin"the same repeated," the duke of arndale, lord Andrew" loud cheers were heard amongst the knights,as he was the master of knights," lastly, the duke of soglan, lord gariel" his announcement was unusual, cheers were heard but he didn't even stand up, instead he scoffed as he was being mentioned. the cheers quickly died down and every one went back to their normal chatter, she quickly used the opportunity to run away from lila, she sat down on a chair she found resting on a pillar, a man came up to her, he looked slightly handsome," may I help you" she asked," yes you may my lady with your presence" he said with a smile," rose wanted to scoff but didn't," may I ask who you are" she asked," I am but a simple nobleman who would like to strike a conversation with you" he replied,her brain was thinking of a way to chase this so called nobleman away," excuse me,but a freind of mine just waved her hand to me telling me to come, I hope to see you again" she said with a bow leaving the man surprised.
