I had never felt that much eyes on me, was it because of I'm new to the public or the dress. I looked down to check myself if there's a mistake.
My gown was fashioned from deep blue silk, it's surface embellished with gold embroidery that seemed to dance in the light. It was a fitted corset bodice, clinched with delicate lacing while voluminous floor length skirt cascaded around me like a waterfall. Layers of fine tulle peaksd from beneath. Adding depth to the already ground silhouette.
Never have I ever worn something this regal. My sleeves, puffed and adorned with tiny pearls gave way to slender arms enriched with elbow length satin gloves.
A girl tapped me "Lady Alora"
I turned to see a familiar blonde "Miss Janette"
We curtisied
"How do you do" I asked
"I'm good how's your engagement"
"Oh dear, I'm not engaged well not yet"
Janette looked like she'd been distracted by something
"Lady Alora, look it's the crown prince of Italy" she pointed
I followed the direction of her fingers.
He had lusty onyx eyes seducing everything that comes his was buh they were partially hidden underneath his long black messy hair. He jawline brought out all his ensuring facial features. His black tuxedo made him look more mysterious than ever. One weird observation was the midnight rose placed in his shirt pocket
"You said the crown prince of Italy?"
"Yes over there his known as the devil in human form. His word is very powerful among high officials and yes he can never be sighted without a blue rose, he is said to be every girls dream".
"Oh"
"Alora I think he's coming this way"
"Can I have a dance" a deep masculine voice asked.
He stretched out his hands hidden in black satin gloves.
I knew taking this man's hand will cause a huge stir. I could already feel Delyth glaring at me. But you live life once.
I curtisied and took his hands. They were strong and hard
"you may."
We danced around the hall
"So you're the prince of Italy"
"Yes, I am. Prince Calix Priel Caledon I and you are? "
"Lady Alora Emery Milianin Radcliffe"
"Is there any previous lady Alora?"
"No, why do you ask?" " that implies you are Lady Alora Emery Milianin Radcliffe the first"
"Oh you flatter me"
"I heard You are every girl's dream, But not mine."
" And why is that do you find faults in me?"
" No, You are perfect it's just that I don't have dreams, Why bother to expect anything when my whole life has already been predestined for me?"
"Predestined? That's a huge word, What's your connection with the Radcliffe's if I may ask?"
" I am the first child, but not the illegitimate one thrown in the shadows of my younger sister Delyth."
