You were a lost princess, did you know? No. Your real parents didn't even get the chance to look at you before you were gone, kidnapped, an unknown mystery, well this was until you turned 18
-BEFORE-
Royal guards came in when her parents were out on town, you were just training as usual learning self defense since they weren't the best. The guards were stunned, actually acting nice towards you but they had a device, recording every interaction with them. After making sure it was really you. They mounted you on a dapple grey horse and brought to the Royal castle, relived they found their lost princess
-NOW-
It has been a few months, you discovered everything and got used to the new life, but you were handling it like you were meant to, your old parents? Well imprisoned. But that weren't your business, you kept acting kind and gentle during the day, but during the night you trained, daggers and swords thrown at mannequins
Everything was proceeding well, even your secret was still safe. But your parents had the genius idea of hosting a masquerade ball in the palace so that the other Royal families of other kingdoms could finally meet in person the lost princess, the heirness who disappeared, you were famous for sure.
The ball wasn't anything you expected, candles lighting up the scene along luminaries, whiskeys being served, music playing softly, dresses swaying around, heels tapping the floor, it was nice if you really had to admit that, but that was until HE walked in
Emrys Caliax bloody Díaz, the prince of a rival Royal Family, being charming as ever with his perfectly styled raven black hair, onyx eyes that glinted with mischief, and a sharp jawline probably sharp as his tongue, the same silked tounge soaked in venom that made women drop at his feet like obedient puppies.
But you didn't, that was his first impression. That irritated him, yes, but hell, he LOVED it. But wouldn't tell you yet
