MADAM SELANE'S HOUSE-
"Wow Iris, you look so beautiful". Madam Selane and Asha exclaimed on seeing her.
"The prince won't be able to take his eyes off you once he sees you". She said smiling sweetly at Iris.
"Just wait soon, the carriage will be here".
IN THE PALACE-
"My son". The queen said on seeing Prince Ryan.
"Ryan my dear, today begins another phase in your life". She sniffled, blinking back the tears.
"Don't let your father and I down".
"I won't". He replied as he hugged his mother.
"It's time". Wyatt announced, disturbing the mother-son moment.
"Let's go".
The carriage stopped in front of the huge and gigantic palace which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Iris stepped out of the carriage wearing a lovely yellow dress which shun brightly in the sun, her hair was tied into a bun, decorated with flowers and beside her was Madam Selane.
"Shall we go, Iris". Madam Selane said as the guard led the way. They walked down the narrow but estatic hallway until they reached the door to the hall where two guards stood.
The guards opened the door to reveal a well decorated room full of people dressed in gowns and suits.
Iris walked hand in hand with Madam Selane into the large hall. Her dress dancing behind her as the guard led the way to the front where Wyatt stood.
"Your highness, she's here". The guard bowed in front of Wyatt. He looked up and as soon as he did his eyes met with Iris as he couldn't help but stare.
"Prince Wyatt". Iris finally spoke which brought Wyatt back to reality.
"You made it". Wyatt smiled.
"Yes, so where should I stay". She asked.
"Wait, I'll take you to the back room and when it's time we'll call you up". He replied as he led the way to the backroom.
Prince Ryan looked extremely handsome in his new designer robesthat the ladies in the room couldn't keep their eyes off him.
"Let's welcome the future Crown Prince". The announcer said as Ryan walked majestically to the stage where he stood like a mighty warrior.
"Let's begin the ceremony". The king announced as he signaled one of the bodyguards to bring forward the golden crown which was decorated with rare diamonds and pearls.
The priest came forward and after reciting the mantra, he picked up the crown and raised it in front of the crowd.
"I crown you Prince Ryan as the future king of Euphoria". He said, placing the crown on Prince Ryan's head.
"Long live our new king". The priest chanted.
"Long live"'.
Soon after the coronation, Iris was next to perform on stage and by that time Madam Selane had made new friends with some of the rich maiden's of the kingdom.
Iris walked up the stage and after giving a bow, she started singing melodiously, enchanting the people in the hall. Everyone kept quiet as they stared at Iris including Ryan who couldn't take his eyes off her. He'd never seen a girl so beautiful, so breathtaking. He felt the urge to go up and ask her what her name was but something held him back.
"Do you like what you see". A voice whispered from behind as Ryan turned to see his brother-Wyatt smiling.
"(Coughs) what do you mean". He asked, trying to act normal.
"I see anyways do you like her?". Wyatt asked resting on his brother's shoulder.
"Do I don't, I don't even know who she is". He replied still looking at Iris.
"But your eyes don't say so". Wyatt teased.
"Wyatt please stop all this".
"(Claps) a round of applause for Miss Iris". The announcer, said as the cheering grew louder.
"So Iris is her name". Ryan muttered still staring at her as she gave a bow.
"Crown Prince Ryan". Wyatt teased. "I'll be back soon".
*****************
"That was a lovely performance, everyone couldn't take their eyesoff you". Madam Selane squealed, introducing her to her new friends.
"Meet 'my' daughter Iris, isn't she beautiful". She smiled as her friend's complemented her beauty.
"Iris". Wyatt called from behind, increasing his steps towards her.
"Prince Wyatt". Iris replied, as Madam Selane's smile grew bigger on seeing Wyatt.
"The Crown Prince would love to meet you". He replied.
"I can't, I need to head back to work". She stated.
"Nonsense, Asha will handle the pub today, you can go and meet the Prince". She said smiling sweetly at Wyatt.
"You see, Madam Selane has agreed so can we go now". Wyatt said leading the way as Iris followed.
" Ryan meet princess Isabella from kingdom Falen". The king introduced as Ryan shakes hands with her.
"Nice to meet you and...". Isabella was interrupt by Iris and Wyatt's presence.
"Father, Isabella please could you excuse us". Wyatt asked politely as the king left with Isabella.
"Brother, I want you to meet Iris, Iris meet my brother Prince Ryan". Wyatt introduced.
"Nice to meet you". Iris bowed before him.
"I think I'll leave you two to it". Wyatt said and left.
"What did you do that for, please get up". Ryan insisted.
"Thank you, your majesty".
"You want to have a dance". Ryan asked politely stretching out his hand as Iris clasped hers in his and led her to the center of the room where the rest where dancing.
Prince Ryan and Iris danced round the ballroom, the sounds of the musical instruments were slowly enabling them to move to the rhythm. The young maiden's who were at the coronation to for Prince Ryan's proposal glared at Iris which so much envy and jealousy. They all wished that they were in the position that Iris was but the most jealous of them was Isabella the princess of kingdom Falen.
