Chapter 3
"The ball is coming up. Many eligible suitors. You can choose whomever you want as you're new lover" Council woman Jade said
Jeno ..... You could always choose Jeno
"Alright you're attire can be nothing less elegant. Victorian Era."
"I know just the one " I said going into my walk-in closet.
I picked out a silver dress with ruffles and a bow.
"I think blue would look exquisite with that" she said grabbing a pair of my blue heels.
"And last but not least. You're gloves"
I grabbed a pair of black lace gloves. I had a gold pair ,but it's not "elegant" enough
"Alright get ready. You're wench is busy in the kitchen"
"Why is she in the kitchen!? She's supposed too be my maid. Not a kitchen server." I yelled.
"That is none of you're concern. You have friends who are well under you're perceived rank." Jade said walking out
I hate everyone
Everton except Giana
And Jeno
A little voice keeps soundin in my head
*an hour later"
"Dance and have fun milady " Jeno said kissing my hand as he lead me too the ballroom.
"I shall be back afterwards too escort you too you're room" he said before he departed
I casually slid in the back of the large room and hid in the shadows of the dancing figures.
All of them dancing too a beat that not even their heart can abide by. They do what's popular. Not what's good for them
Like the inside of a clock. They just work and work trying to hide their imperfections.
***
I'd been in the shadows for a good 30 minutes now.
And yet the same dancers danced too the same tune. Doing the same dance.
As I watched the dancers, I noticed a man coming towards me in my peripheral vision.
"Milady you should be dancing and having fun." Jeno said frowning at my lack of interest
"That isn't for me. I don't want a suitor Jeno. I want love. I want romance." I said sighing
"Well would you dance with me?" He asked holding out his hand
"Depends. Are you gonna step on my feet?"
He cracked a smile and helped me up.
As we got out too the floor, many males looked in envy at Jeno.
We started swaying the opposite way the others did.
We were the broken clock pieces. We moved and made the clock move out of order.
He spun me around and the dipped .
When I looked up at him, I saw his beautiful eyes looking down at me.
"Milady I-"
"SERVANT. YOU ARE IN NO RIGHT TOO TOUCH THE QUEEN." A male in flashy clothing yelled.
We quickly stood up , but I still had one of Jeno's hands in mine.
"Leave servant. The lady needs too dance with a man of higher quality"
With that, Jeno walked away hanging his head down a little
"Milady. I am Jared White. The King of the land of White" he said holding his hand out
"And I don't give a shit. " I said stomping his foot and leaving in agony
"JENO! Jeno where are you!?" I yelled running down the halls
As I was running, I tripped over my dress and was about too fall when someone caught me.
"You shouldn't run Milady" Jeno said disapprovingly
"Oh Jeno. I'm so sorry. You're not just a servant." I said grabbing his hand
He smiled slightly but it quickly went away just like his hand from mine.
"That's where I must disagree milady. I am just a servant. And you are my queen." He said before walking away
