Now the time has come for thing to begin for the people to take they places. I wonder could she really be here waiting for me. There is so much I want to say no… I need to say to her but I just don't know where to start.
"Your Majesty the royal general Vicount Stephan would like to approach the throne." Hans says from next to me as I sit down.
I nod my head for approval to the request then he steps back to go down the stairs then brings over the older looking man with hazel eyes ,silver hair all over his hair and chin with a prominent scar across his face and his one ear burnt. Standing next to him is his wife with also older looking features, with light blue eyes, sliver peppered all over her brown hair and they two children a son and young daughter that are a mix of the parents
"Your Majesty it is an honour to be here celebrating you birthday. Thank you for inviting me and my family and we wish you a happy birthday and a long life." Vicount Stephan said as they all bow to me.
I smile as I stand up and walk down the stairs and embrace the general. I pull back and look at him knowing that this man has always been there for me always In every life and that his is one of the few men I can trust with all my heart and soul for I know he doesn't just stand for the kingdom but he stands for me as a person. He trusts every decision I make is for the good of the kingdom and that what ever mistake I make I never fail to fix them and if i can't he will be there to help. He has been more a father to me that my own.
"Vicount what are you talking about of cause I will invite you and your family, you are my royal general after all. Come now relax and enjoy the night, it's about time you take a break on giving orders general sir." I say smiling at him as I call on the waiter with the tray of drinks.
As I do so the next minute in a flash I see her and everything just… stops I don't know why but I already knew that this would happen, that she would come tonight I mean I ordered it to happen, I knew how I would feel about it and I know it's not like before in which I had to turn myself into something unfeeling, distant and cold then…
As she stands there my mind starts to fall into an old memory then I start hearing my heart beat louder out of nowhere and my body freezes as I look at her, then her violet, blue, green eyes meet mine, then I see her pale moon light skin shining in that sparkling navy blue dress and her long raven hair cascades down her perfectly shaped body then I blink and she gone.
"Your Majesty are you alright?" Vicountess ask in her soft tone voice. I break way from where I was looking to meet the hazel eyes of the generals wife, worry on her faces. I can feel Hans eyes on me , I clear my throat then spoke in a clear voice.
"I am fine Vicountess don't worry I thought I was an old friend of mine. Please go and enjoy the party" I smile while I gesture to them to join the crowd. Then I quickly look back to where I saw her to find nothing.
