You're Safe With Me: Part 3

//Okay, so since part 2 really sucked and I don't really expect it to get a whole lot of love, I'm going to try and make up for it with part three. This is probably going to be really long and depending on how high my creativity bar is, it might be really good or it might suck, just like part 2. But we'll see. Once you read part 3, I will make different scenarios where you can choose either Ben or Joe. Anyway, happy reading and may this one not suck!//

//With this one, you can choose who you want to dance with so readers can experience a dance with their favorite BoRhap man.//

[Y/N] stared out the window of her room, watching as all the Nobel families and the allied Kings and Queens approached the castle in which the May family lived. Gwilym had told their mother and father what had happened in the woods and recommended that they post pone [Y/N]'s birthday celebration in order to make sure that [Y/N] was indeed safe. While Queen Anita had understood Gwilym's suggestion and agreed that the celebration should be put on hold, Brian wanted the celebration to continue as planned. He had already sent out invitations to all the neighboring Nobel families as well as Roger and Sarina and John and Veronica. He didn't want to send another letter saying that the celebration was postponed. He said that the celebration would continue as planned. They would have extra guards posted at every opening to make sure that [Y/N] was safe. [Y/N] sighed and looked down at the gown that she was wearing.

The gown had been a present from her family. Mary had been in her room to help her get dressed a little while ago. A knock resounded on her door.

"Come in." She called. Gwilym opened the door and gave his sister a smile.

"They're ready for you," he said. [Y/N] sighed and put on her best fake smile. Gwilym frowned and walked up to her, taking her hands in his. "Talk to me. What's going on?" He asked. [Y/N] sighed.

"I just, I can't help but feel like something bad is going to happen tonight. I know what so saw in those woods today, Gwil. I know that someone was after me." She said. Gwilym nodded.

"I know. Listen to me," he tilted her head up slightly so that she was looking at him. "I won't let anything happen to you. And neither will Ben or Joe. We will make sure that you are safe." He gently stroked his sister's cheek lovingly. "Alright." He said. [Y/N] gave a smile and nodded.

"Alright." She said. Gwilym held out his arm and [Y/N] took it.

The entire room erupted into applause as the arrival of Princess [Y/N] was announced. The room sounded with gasps and awe's as they saw the beautiful gown that the girl was wearing. She smiled at the crowd as she stood next to her Father and Mother, who were smiling with pride. Brian faced the room. He raised his hand, calling for silence.

"It is my great honor to announce that my darling daughter, my little girl, is now turning 20 years old," the room erupted into applause once more. "This night is special, for on this day, my daughter is no longer a child. She is a woman. And with that, she had the right to choose who she would like to marry. At the end of this ball, she will have chosen who is to be her husband." Brian announced. The room erupted into surprised gasped and murmur. Ben and Joe glanced at each other in silent competition. They both had a plan to be the one [Y/N] chose at the end of the night. [Y/N], Gwilym and Anita stared at Brian in shock. This was not what they had discussed earlier this morning. Brian did not look at either of his family members. His decision had been final. "With this in mind, I now ask my son, Prince Gwilym, to place the crown upon my daughter's head.

This crown will be replaced with a different one by the end of the night. It will be a crown that has the colors of the man my daughter chooses has her husband. Now, good luck to you all, and let the festivities begin!" With that, ball room music began and couples took to the dance floor, moving together in gracefulness and poise.

[Y/N] curtsied towards a Nobel family as they and their son walked up the stairs and the family's son bowed in front of [Y/N].

"Congratulations, your Majesty," the son said. "I pray that you have a wonderful birthday." He said as he straightened. [Y/N] smiled and nodded in thanks.

"Thank you. Your praise is accepted." She said. The son smiled as the family left to mingle among the others. [Y/N]'s smile widened as she saw the familiar faces of Ben, Roger and Anita leading their son up the steps. [Y/N] stared in aw at her friend's suit. It was a beautiful royal blue with gold embordered into the fabric.

[Y/N] smiled and walked down to meet them, embracing Ben in a tight hug. Ben let out a sigh as he held his best friend tightly.

"How are you doing, love?" Ben asked quietly. They pulled away and [Y/N] sighed.

"I'm doing as well as I can." She said. Ben smiled and kissed her knuckles.

"I hope you have a happy birthday. And whom ever you choose at the end of this night, may you live a long, happy life together." Ben said. [Y/N] smiled in thanks.

"Thank you. Your praise is accepted." She said. Ben smiled and winked at her as he, Roger and Anita left to go and mingle with the other guests. After [Y/N] was done greeting everyone, she would walk down and choose to dance with a man for her first dance of the night. [Y/N]'s smile grew as she saw Joe and his Mother and Father, John and Veronica. John and Veronica had chosen well with John's suit. It was a royal blue, almost the same as Ben's, however, the outside of the dress coat was blue. The inside and the sash around Joe's waist were a beautiful golden yellow.

She walked down to meet Joe, who surprised her by wrapping his arms tightly around her waist and tucking his face into the crook of her neck. His breath tickled her neck slightly. They pulled away and Joe held her at arms length.

"I'm so happy for you, darlin'," Joe said. [Y/N] smiled. "It seems like only yesterday we were running around playing dragons and knights and you were the damsel in distress, every time. And every time I managed to slay the dragon, you remember what you used to say?" He asked. [Y/N]'s cheeks flushed as she remembered.

"Oh my brave prince. How ever will I repay you? How about a kiss." She recited. Joe and [Y/N] chuckled at the remembrance of the childish game she, her best friends and her brother used to play when they were little. [Y/N] smiled. "If you're lucky, My Prince, you may be the one who gets the kiss you have always wanted." She said. Joe smiled. [Y/N] had come to terms with her father's decision about her marriage and decided to make the best of it. Joe smiled and gently grabbed her hand. He maintained eye contact as he kissed the back of her hand.

"Then I pray that you have a wonderful birthday and may the man you choose treat you well and with respect." Joe said. [Y/N] smiled.

"Thank you. Your praise is accepted." She said.

"The Princess will now choose who she will share her first dance with!"

[Y/N] walked down the steps, gathering the hem of her dress as to not trip and embarrass herself. She walked onto the floor. There was not a sound, except for the clacking of [Y/N]'s heels against the marble floor. She scanned the room. Her gaze finally landed on someone. She extended her hand.

"Will you accompany me on my first dance?"
