The ball

Staring at the beautiful creature holding her firm from falling, her heartbeat was racing fast and she felt so shy.

"I am not trying to prove to anyone that I'm …" Lina was caught off by Lyle "shh, I saw you, I saw the anger in your eyes at Lucian's statement and that was why I didn't say anything" Lyle added. Just as she was about say something, Pearl interrupted.

"Good morning prince Lyle" she said with a courtesy and Lyle just nodded his head, looking at their intimate position she {Pearl} went further to rest her hand on Lyle's shoulder.

Anger filled Lina, she didn't know when she regained her strength to stand, she just walked out on them, barging inside her room.

When she got to her room she sat on the bed and she recalled everything thing that happened and how that princess name tagged Pearl ruined everything, she cursed Pearl under her breath and wished her nothing but death

Laying on the bed still thinking about the early morning incident she did know when she dozed off.

Sun rays flashed inside her room causing her to yawn, looking out through her window the sun was shining to its fullest, she slowly climbed down from the bed and went to take a quick shower.

While dressing a guard informed her that prince Lyle had said that everyone was to train once it was noon.

Lina walked through the corridor, she looked pale and she was hungry but she wasn't going to show it. Pearl was standing next to Lyle. What the hell does Pearl want from Lyle? Why can't she stay on her own? Lina kept wondering. Gina was fully occupied by Peres who was just lavishing her with kisses. Lucian was standing with some other huge warriors like him. No one seemed to be fighting so Lina walked up to a huge looking man beside Lucian

"Name?" Lina ordered "Raven" replied the man "I would like to spa with you" Lina said aloud and everyone's eyes shone excluding Lyle.

Lyle knew what she was capable of doing, she could go any length to get what she wants.

"It would my pleasure to spa with you my princess" Raven replied and then brought out a sparkling white sword from his sword's pocket.

Everyone stepped backwards not wanting to be barrier. Lina was the first to attack and the man as expected defended properly, the fight continued like that; Lina attacking, Raven defending. Suddenly the sword of Raven hit her causing her to fall down on the floor.

"I knew it! She is a weakling all right round" Lucian's voice filled the air, "she is indeed going to be a liability to us" Lucian added. The next thing happened so quickly, Lina was holding Lucian up high.

While Lucian was insulting her, her anger was piling up and his last statement finally made her erupt like a volcano emitting molten magma; lava. Her eyes which were normally silver turned entirely green, unlike her mother who emitted silver, she was emitting green. Her silver hair had turned from silver to green. Really awkward.

She pinned Lucian on the wall and no one dared to come to his rescue, she punched him severally and blood gushed out from his face. "Somebody do something!" Pearl screamed and with that Lyle walked up to her and grabbed her by her hand.

He stared deeply into her new color of her eyes; green. Suddenly Lina regained herself, she looked around and found everyone tensed

"what happened?" Lina asked surprising everyone one apart from Lyle. Turning around she met Lyle standing behind her "what happened?" "You were violent" Peres responded.

Lina was about to ask something but someone interjected

"Good day your highness" the man greeted “what are you here?" Peres asked "your highness, lord Philip had ordered that you would attend the ball tonight" "what if we disagree?" Peres continued

"he just said I should deliver the message" the man said "go!" Lyle's voice echoed "thank you my prince" the man appreciated. "We would be attending a ball tonight" Lyle said before entering inside.

Lina studied herself in the mirror, nobody needed to tell her that she was very beautiful. Her maids Naomi and Becky did a very nice job, they were assigned to make her up. Lina admired herself.

She was dressed in an off~shoulder black lace gown, the back was very revealing and seriously speaking very tempting. Her long silver hair was packed up in was packed up in a very high ponytail.

Lina walked out of her room, Gina was already dressed, she also looked very enticing but it was no match for Lina's. Lyle glanced at her only once and continued speaking to Lucian. Lina sat on the sofa waiting for them to be ready to go. Wait a second where is Pearl?

Clacking of heels were heard from a distance, looking towards the direction of the sound, one could see Pearl swaying her hair from side to side, truth be told she was the most beautiful and attractive woman amongst them

Anger, sorry, jealous filled Lina, she didn't know when she hissed, what made her more jealous was the fact that Lyle actually studied her physical appearance unlike her, she bit her lower lip to avoid saying something stupid. The last thing she wanted was for that prince to know her feelings.

Pearl was dressed in an asymmetric royal blue ball gown, her red hair was neatly combed down as her red lipstick added to the effect of her natural red lips. She smiled at Lyle before taking her seat on the sofa.

"You look beautiful" Lyle comment seemed to have shocked Peres, this made Lina to stand up and head towards the garden outside in the name of receiving natural air

"Let's go" Lyle ordered but Peres asked "how about the ladies? How will they arrive the castle" "and you know we can't ride a horse like this" Pearl added pointing at her dress. Breathing in Lyle said "Peres go with…" he had completed his order and Peres left with Gina.

Looking around he didn't find Lina, "Lucian take Pearl" his statement shocked both Lucian and Pearl. Lucian had thought he would be carrying the annoying witch.

Lyle left to find Lina. He heard cries from the garden and walked into the garden, he found Lina crying, he didn't know why she was crying.

Strangely, he lifted her up and hugged her. Lina just rested on his broad chest, tears soaking his clothes. Lyle ran his fingers through her hair

"Lina, don't try to please everyone, don't try to be someone else just be yourself. You are unique in your own way
