I heard my sister screaming my name "Rae, we'll be late, hurry!!!,"I was actually going to this ball, it was something I dreaded, the heels, the sound of music and the dancing all seemed to annoy me, but still, I had to go.
---
As we arrived at the ball, my eyes met a tall man with a broad, masculine chest, his dark her clung to the side of his face, intrigued, I turned to my maid and best friend; Irene "who is that man over there" I asked " You must be talking about Prince Cyrus of the neighboring kingdom, don't be deceived by his good looks though, he is cold and heartless" she replied rather angry almost as if she had first hand experience.
I made my way down too meet Prince Charles and Prince Arthur. As I descended the stairs, my heart raced with a new found excitement. The ballroom was filled with the cream of society, and I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
CYRUS'POV
My eyes never left her, my gaze scanning the room with calculating intensity. I turned to my aide, Lord Thomas " Thomas, who is that girl? The one with blonde hair and crystal blue eyes" Thomas followed my gaze, his eyes narrowing. ' Ah, yes. That would be the younger sister of Lady Izzy.' My eyes snapped back to Thomas, my interest piqued. Lady Rae? I've never heard of her.'
Thomas smiled wryly. "That's because she's been keeping a low profile, Your Highness. But trust me she's making waves tonight." As the night wore on, my gaze never wavered from her. I watched her with an intensity I'm sure made her skin flush, my eyes burning with passion that she couldn't ignore.
I could see her desperately trying to focus on her conversation with Prince Charlie and Prince Arthur, but yet she couldn't stop herself from sneaking glances at me.
She was mesmerizing, my eyes fixed on her made me feel like we were the only people in the room. I didn't approach her, didn't ask her to dance. I just watched her, my gaze burning with passion I couldn't hide. She probably felt like I could see into her every soul, like I was admiring every feature of her body. My eyes lingered on her blonde hair, and crystal blue eyes, sparkling like diamonds in the light. Her fair skin glowed with a soft radiance, and I couldn't help but notice the gentle curve of her lips, the delicate shape of her nose, and the way her eyes tilted upwards at the corners.
I felt a flutter in my chest, my heart racing with excitement, but I didn't move, didn't come closer, I just kept watching her.
