Invites had been sent to all the neighboring kingdoms , it was to be the ball of the century, whoever was any one was going to be there. Night Fell and the castle was illuminated by bright lights , lighting the entrance making it shimmer in humble brilliance

Once in the space made you feel so small. Crystal chandeliers spiraled down from the arching sky - Murrow ceiling, illuminating the glimmering golden walls and a floor so polished it looked like iced over lake. the ballroom smelt rose and heavy perfume with decorations strewn everywhere. Giving the room a regal glow.

Men in straight black suits led the ladies in beautiful bright gowns to the dance floor who swaying happily with their partners making small conversations, as they danced to soft soothing music played by the ocestra . The older men and women sat along the walls at beautiful adorned tables trying to decide who they would marry their children off to.

All heads turned to her in Awwh , she slowly walked down the staircase with grace and poise . As everyone stared in admiration They were all happy to see her . She wasn't like all the other girll she was kind graceful and drop dead gorgeous . beautiful in every way , her was dress was inched at the waist and twirled down into shocks of midnight blue, Athena exuded elegance. walked through the crowd, a few young men

bowed in politeness showing her respect but all Athena wanted to do was leave she wanted nothing to do with celebrations or the upcoming wedding she tried pretending outing on a fake smile when all she wanted to do was cry un able to bear her pain any longer she decided to make her back to her room, when She accidentally bumped into someone.

"May I have a dance?" he asked wish a soft smile on his face.

Athena was furious he had tripped her , now he had the audacity to ask for a dance, all she wanted was kill him where he stood. Cause nothing would bring her more pleasure but her hands were tied , cause if anything happened to Philip the king would hurt her mother , so keeping it in mind she bows and offers her silk navy blue gloved hand to Phillip .

Loud soothing sounds played by olestra laid the stage , Philip grabbed Athena hand firmly as they began to waltz to the music . Spinning in circles and shuffling their feet to the slow instrumental stylings , they lost in rhythmic bliss even more when their eyes met . His eyes were a warm crystal blue color causing Athena knees to buckle. Not forgetting her soft red lips which quivered under his touch .

Never had a man caused such sensations in Athena before, he slightly narrowed his eyes and let out a small chuckle exposing his pearly white teeth. Philip leaned down to kiss Athena
