    Hidden beneath the dance

    The soft hum of the music plays out as echoing there the gold increased sculptures of the castle, the soft clink of glasses blowing with the cold wind that blew from the open gates, the sound of the gowns swaying with the hum of the music. The ballroom shinning like a thousand glowing swords rushing to battle, the gold that seemingly glows, made all the loved pearls and diamonds seem almost as if they were priceless. The room filled with royals and riches, all mingled together in a manner of the ball.

    Prince Adelio, the one who had been the host of the ball that was played out as the night went out, stood at the top of stairs watching over the crowd. Slowly descending from the top to the bottom to greet those he had personally invited all till he had made seemingly impossible eye contact with none other than you. You, being the kingdoms enemy, while your father was of course. But there seemed to be something far deeper than just hatred for one another.

    He walked to you in a manner of defiance, offering a dance, you of course having to except as you were at his ball. The ball floor shined from the chandeliers that hung from the ceiling of the very castle. Many other couples dance beside you both seemingly having a fun time, yet all but one seemed to be enjoying the night that was being laid out like a platter of cakes.

    The dance went on and on seemingly endless, but the dance you two had been dancing was off almost like a hidden message. The sway of the dance, the way of the hand placement all seemed to be off. “I am surprised you have yet not to visit until now, almost as if you wished not to see me, hm?” He spoke a underlaying tease in the manner of his voice. You both had once been best friends, unstoppable trouble but something seemed to lay beneath the truth that had been told.
