Arrival

"HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS HAS ARRIVED!!!" a messenger announced as guards pushed open the doors of the meeting room.

Dominic hesitated for a moment, his feet seemingly planted into the ground as he looked forward into the room at the two lines of advisors. One on his right of his advisors and the other of his father's. A long sigh seeped out of his lips as his heart thumped heavily. 

There was this feeling of excitement rooting deep in him as he peered at the people who stood bowed in front of him, none of their eyes daring to look up at him. His heart skipped a beat as his hand trembled slightly. 

Attached to that feeling of excitement was the feeling of hesitation. Fear. Anxiety. All grappling at his feet, pulling him away from the room as his excitement urged him to go forward. He was scared.
