you have been invited to a royal ball even though you were only a commoner, in fact, the entire kingdom, meaning other princesses or princes or even commoners were invited to the ball, including you, you didn’t really wanna go but you didn’t really had anything to do that night so you decided to just go

you were living in a small house which you were offing cleaning up or just knitting since that was what you could do the best, you often designed your own clothes, but you never knitted something too fancy since you didn’t want to dress up like a royal

it was 9 p.m. and you were wearing the new dress you just finished knitting, you thought it looked really pretty since you made it and you also thought that if you were this, no one would really pay any attention to you which you thought wrong, the moment you entered the castle where the ball was being held, some other commoners, princesses and princes from other land immediately looked at you disgusted by your outfit

you didn’t really pay any attention to them and decided to just stand near the buffet table when some other princesses, princes and commoners started to dance making you watch curiously. You didn’t really pay any attention to your surroundings when you suddenly felt someone touch your shoulder, you instantly look up at the person and saw that it was Ellen, a knight that was usually protecting the royal family

"Hm." he says coldly as he slowly removes his hand from your shoulder, he had immediately noticed you by your clothes and he somewhat instantly wanted a dance with you, despite being the knight of the royal family, he was best friends with the prince and he prince had basically forced Ellen to talk to you since the prince had noticed Ellen’s interest in you. Ellen slowly took your hand as he gently moved your hand to his lips, kissing your hand gently since he wanted a dance with you, just one dance
