Chapter 34

We arrive at the Mansion again, we go inside and up to another room so I could get dressed. As soon as I walked up the dressing room they all looked at me surprised, I looked around at my dress and I patted it down.

" Is anything wrong, wrong color?" I ask seemingly. They all shake their head. Edgar looked at me and turned his head, blushing. Brown walks up to me, taking my hand and swiftly and gently putting my arm under his.

" Haha, it feels like movie with such a beautiful woman..." Someone says behind me. Those words makes me smile. We walk to the Ball room where there is people here and there shuffling like a colony of ants. I stomach started to turn. Brown led me to a table where my name was placed.  I looked around, ladies were wearing beautiful gowns. They started to gather on the floor when the light went out. Up on the balcony there was a beam of light, a loud voice exploded in the room.

"Good evening everyone, it is time to introduce the people of the hour... let me please present.... Prince Baba of..." the women start to yell and squirm. Prince Baba walk onto the balcony with a bouquet.

" Prince Anthony of..." the voice continues. " Prince Ray... Prince Alex... and Prince Darwin..." the voice call out the names as these princes all arrive on the Balcony with a bouquet of flowers. The women below still screaming and squirming, the Prince's all at the same time raise their hand with the bouquet and throws them into the crowd. One come trampling onto the ground right in front of me. I pick it up smelling them, looking up at all these women sad and lonely faces.

" Brown, what is this for, I thought it was just a family Ball." I as as the light turn back on.

" The Family Ball includes other royalty as well. And that is as engagement bouquet." He says as I hear the words engagement bouquet I immediately drop the flowers, girls around me jumping at my feet. A Woman in a red dress picked it up giving a wicked smirk. The orchestra started to play.

"This day couldn't get worse, I shouldn't say that, but I just did. Ugh." I say taking a sip of my water properly. "Why is everyone's table full..?" I ask looking around.

" Because this is the  reserved table..." A manly voice says behind me. I look behind me looking at Prince Anthony, smiling at me.

" Sorry, your Majesty I did not know." I a say looking back at Brown. The Prince's who were on the balcony sat down at the table.

" Ma'am May I ask your name?" Prince Ray asks.

" Starline, Starline Jones." I say.

" A Beauty, with a beautiful name." Prince Alex says.

" I have not seen you at any other Balls, why are you here?" Prince Darwin says with a bad curiosity on his face.

" Prince Baba Invited me, Your Majesty." I say as he looks at Prince Baba.

" Is that true?" He asks him, Prince Baba nods. " Is that so" he says to himself quietly.

" Good day..." A French man says expected higher class, an Uncle perhaps.

" Bonne journée Votre Majesté." I say back, he looks at me with a smile. and continues on his doing.

"You speak French, I see, any other language?" Prince Ray asks.

" I know a bit of German, Your Majesty." I answer politely. Prince Darwin shoots me a mean glare. For a few minutes of the Prince's chatting I remain quiet.

" May I please, have a dance?" Brown asks after some Prince's left to socialize. I give him my had as he start to dance appropriate to the beat of the musical piece.

" Did I say something wrong earlier?" I ask still wondering about the glare.

" No, you didn't do a thing. After this why don't you pick something light to eat like a fluffy orange thing, I heard their delicious." Brown says with a smile.

" Thanks." I say as we finish the dance. I pass by a group who was talking about me sitting with Prince's. I didn't mind much I when around talking to women and how I love their dresses. I got the orange goodness, and I sat back down. Brown has disappeared from my sight. So I remain seated, Prince Baba's mother and aunt came over and talked to me. After my small chat with them I was invited onto the dance floor by Prince Alex. The women glared at me, but I didn't mind much.

" You are an amazing dancer, Starlin." He says mid way through the dance.

" I could say so yourself, Your Majesty." I answered.

" You know I sometimes wish I wasn't royalty but since I met you I think otherwise." He says.

" You mustn't say such things, Your Majesty. You are admired around the world, You mean so much to so many, Your Majesty. That means something." I say.

" Your right," he starts as the dance ends. " But if only I could Find one I love." He says.

" In due time, everything comes with patience, Your Majesty." I say making him smile as he sit back down. After a few hours and a few dances, Prince Darwin asks me to dance the Waltz. I was hearing that he's known as the King of the Waltz, I don't understand why it's a dance.

The dance starts and his movements were smooth and precise. I follow his lead happily dancing better then any other one, it seemed like he was trying to challenge me on the floor. The music was coming to a stop when I felt his pulse pound in his hand. When it was over there was a loud roar of clapping. As we officially end it Prince Darwin takes a beep unbalanced breaths.

" Are you okay, Your Majesty?" I ask concerned.

" Yes, you were amazing. I doubted you, sorry." He says as a sweat rolls down his head.

" No need to apologize, Your Majesty." I say.

" I haven't danced like that in years, the women are usually always too slow or too weak. But you, you were perfect." He say with a smile that comes from nowhere. Everyone stopped and stared at us.

" I'm glad to hear that, Your Majesty." I say.

" You can call me Darwin." He says energetically, I was stunned.

" I can not possibly do that, Your Majesty." I say immediately but in a calm voice.

" I understand... Then I shall await another Waltz." He says taking a drink. I knew I couldn't promise something that wild, so I just stayed quiet. The Ball Came to an end. Exhausted I keep up straight with a smile on my face until I closed the door to the room. The Butlers were waiting for my return.

" Hey guys." I say taking off the heals.

" How was it, you were amazing?!" Brian asks and says.

" astonishing! - could you get this - thanks." I say as I walk to Edgar, the closet one, to unzip the dress.

" I'm so tired, do you guys need help cleaning or anything? Because I can help you know." I ask.

" No that's under control." Norman says.

" So what happening now, are we going back home?" I ask looking at them.

" It's up to you." They all say.

" Okay let me get dressed and let's go home, is that weird for you guys. Like living in some other house for a duty. Like isn't that harsh?" I ask, going into the bathroom.

" I guess, you could say it is." Brian answers.

"So what do you guys wanna do because like, this is your life ya know." I say still getting dressed.

" We've always have to follow directions. You were the first and maybe only one too give us voice." Norman says.

" Aww that's so sad." I say
Zipping the dress back into its bag.

" So I guess let's go home." Brown says as I walk out.

" Sounds good to me" the rest say at the same time. I smile and grab my purse.

" oh Brian here's the keys I know I'm gunna fall asleep in the limousine." I say as he takes the keys. " You know what you guys, your all like big brothers I think... or all like best friends... yeah all best friends." I say as I hug Edgar's arm.

" Best friends, I like that title..." Edgar says. We all check out aged get in the limo. After three for sentences I fall asleep. They carry me inside putting my in my bed. And they go to bed themselves.
