Mila's heart raced with anxiety and uncertainty, she couldn't shake the feeling that something significant had just transpired.
She glanced around, hoping to find some clue or reassurance among the other guests, but they seemed engrossed in their own conversations and activities, unaware of the moment that had just passed.
With a deep breath, Mila tried to steady her nerves, reminding herself of the importance of maintaining her composure in such a critical moment.
She couldn't afford to let her emotions get the better of her, especially not when there was so much at stake.
Turning her attention back to the line of bride candidates and the prince's throne, Mila found herself wondering about the significance of the prince's gesture.
Was it a deliberate acknowledgment of her presence, or was it simply a coincidence?
As she pondered these questions, a voice broke through her thoughts, pulling her back to the present moment.
