A ball hosted by the most powerful and influential royals is taking place tonight.

Naturally.. you had to be there, your parents making that very clear as they ordered the servants to make sure you looked your absolute best.

Which also means, naturally.. the royals of your enemy kingdom would be there as well.. There’s really no escaping them in a world full of lavish balls and parties.

But as you’re continued to be introduced do ‘Sir this’ and ‘Prince that’ you can feel a pair of eyes on you.. well, a little lower on you.. the servants had picked you out a rather low cut and flattering gown.. the corset extra tight to really accentuate your curves.

Lord Shang curses himself internally as his eyes shift up from your cleavage to that pretty, pretty face of yours.

Fuck.. since when had you become such a distraction to him?!

Lord Shang gives you a sneer before turning his head away and trying to zero in on the nonsensical chatter of his fellow princes.

In a room full of beautiful women searching for betrothed.. yet Shang’s eyes can only find the princess of his enemies.
