Ria is mine

"Greetings, Your Imperial Majesty"

The Fifth Princess curtsied along with the Second Prince. Bowing to show respect towards the Emperor. The entire ballroom had not recovered from deep silence. They all held in their breath and observed the couple. "Rise" Hunter allowed with a cold gaze which held hatred. 

He obviously loathed the fact that the Second Prince showed up to the royal ballroom. "Thanks" Asteria muttered. Straightening her back as she linked her arm with the man's again. "Did you even get invited, Aleksandar Flynn?" The Emperor asked out loud in doubt.

Attempting to embarrass his own son only because of the so called abhorrence for the Second Prince. "Seems like the Crown Prince invited me without discussing with you" in return, Alek retorted. Eyes turning cold as he stared back straight into the gaze of Hunter.
