Meeting the main characters

 A low magnetic voice rang as a round of footsteps approached the desk area. It wasn't exactly as it happened in the main novel, where Cedric and Abrielle met the king the next morning, but the events were still similar. 

 Ignoring the blue screen before her, Abrielle turned behind her; her breath was stolen immediately, "Lucian," she mumbled and felt Cedric's hold on her tighten. 

 Before them stood a young man with a teasing smile, "Father, I have returned," the newcomer said, showing obvious familiarity with the king, unlike Cedric, who addressed the king as your majesty. 

 The newcomer was everything a fantasy romance male lead could be described as: handsome, graceful, gorgeous, etc, but these qualities did not leave Abrielle spellbound and unable to look away. Cedric's jaw clenched, and then his sharp gold eyes met the similar eyes of the newcomer.
