SHALL WE DANCE?

Zoe closed her eyes as she listen to the sounds of the festive music being played along for the guests. And as she opened them, the whole venue made her realize that she is in a different part of the world. 

'I hope no one would notice that I am not one of them.' She secretly wished while she crossed her fingers as her eyes darted to the guests of this prestigious event.

"Try this one. This is one of my favorite and I personally requested them." Princess Taia, who was seated on her right, gently pushed a dish on her side. 

She smiled at her bashfully and tried to nibble a bite. It was indeed delicious! If it was an event outside of this land, she would gobble on it quickly. But her tensed feeling seemed to suffocate her esophagus from wanting to digest the scrumptious food in front of her.

"Is anything troubling you, Lady Asha?" Princess Taia asked her.

"No, I'm okay. It's just my first time and I feel a little uncomfortable."
