"Princess Esmeray Rubi of Ironhold, the doors open welcoming her. The first thing she notices are the chandeliers hanging from the roof. The room is covered in gold and diamonds. Her eyes land on the Prince who stands at the end of the walk.
She makes her way, captivating the eyes of all the subjects, including the waiters. Whispers fill the room, commenting on her vibrant face, her beauty displayed with elegance. Her straight hair, now curly, is held by her crown, decorated with rubies and black opals.
Her vibrant gold dress flowed around her, a stunning display of elegance. The fabric shimmered under the chandeliers, reflecting the light and adding to her radiant aura. Around her dress were embroidered lace and silk designs of leaves, signifying her power as ruler of nature.
A corset cinched her waist, while the rest flows around her curvy body. She reaches the Prince, whose eyes are red from not blinking. He fears if he does, he would miss out on her beauty.
Extending his hand out to her he whispers "You look stunning, more then the moon tonight my Princess" she smiles at his comment turning to face both Kings and Queen.
"We present to you the future King and Queen of Celestia and Ironhold" the people clap of joy.
The King of Celestia gave the go for the people to start their celebration.
"I fear if you keep looking at me, I'll vanish" teases Esmeray at the Prince who has yet to get his eyes off her. "Forgive me, but I fear if I do so you'll leave me. Tonight I will make you mine, so for now let me admire your beauty"
The prince getting up from his seat extends his hand "Princess Esmeray will you do me the honor and dance the night with me" smiling at the thought that only a few days ago he didn't know how to dance Esmeray agrees. "Only if you promise not to throw us off again" she comments smile at him.
Both make their way down, he wraps one hand around her waist connecting his right hand with hers. The people leave the dance floor, giving them their time to shine. The music starts a beautiful theme of piano and violin. He dances with her just how they practiced.
"You have learned well my prince" she comments at his steps. "I learned from the best, but tell me can you keep up with me?" He challenges her.
They moved together, their steps perfectly synchronized. The princess's gown swirled, creating a mesmerizing display of colors and fabrics. The prince guides her with a gentle touch, their eyes meeting in shared moments of joy.
Regret lingering in his heart. He misjudged her, he was to quick to assume her as a rude prideful arrogant person. He allowed the rumors about her to guide him into disliking her. Now standing with her he sees how wrong he is.
She is nothing like the rumors, she's kind, sweet, peaceful, beautiful, smart. She has shown moments of pride towards him but all to protect her image. If he could turn back time, he would present himself differently.
He would make a connection with her, a deep one, and maybe and just maybe she would have fallen in love with him just how he's fallen in love with her.
"You look very gorgeous Esmeray, so much so I fear someone else might snatch you away from me"
"Who will do such a thing?" She replies knowing well there is someone among the crowd who will do so. Someone who commands an army, and will stop at nothing to save his love.
Eventually her eyes connect with Commander Zion who stands not far from them. With a drink in hand he smiles at her. For a moment she loses focus and almost trips before the prince catches her "Focus" he says searching for her eyes.
"Tonight it's about us, not anyone else, we are to consummate-" a little upset at the thought she cuts him off "I know....I know. We have a duty to fulfill"
The music comes to and end. They bow one more time to each other before heading back to their seats. The people dance and drink.
Esmeray leaves for a moment to change into her performance dress. "Before the night comes to and end the Princess has a presentation" announces the Herald.She makes her way to the center, her golden black dress flowing perfectly.
The diamonds covering her dress shines with every movement the light hits. A slit on the side allows her to move gracefully, with the lyrics of her songs. "Mmmm, Im going to take my time to get to know you, I lie to myself when I say I have no feelings..."she looks at him moving gracefully.
"I need you here by my side, you take away my nightmares..." every lyric resonate how she feels about commander Aryan.
She should be singing to him, they should be together on this night. He should be the one touching her, kissing her, making her feel pleasure above the skies. Instead it's a different man claiming his woman.
