Standing next to my mother feeling yet again extremely uncomfortable,as I see a large crowd of nobles and Royalty gossiping amongst themselves. I stood behind mother feeling extremely shy and overwhelmed,at this point I just wanted to go home.
"It's Alright Alice, you should be having fun and socialize with the dukes"
Standing in the corner with no expectations of finding anyone to talk to was none other then Duke Hazendale.
Fredrick Hazendale is the first son of the late Duke and Duchess, people say that he's not a social person either, which means mother would be happy that I found the perfect person for me,and he's a duke.
"Mother.. that's Duke Hazendale"
"Oh my..what a brilliant girl you are!.go talk to him"
"Ok..I will"
As I walked up to him,I could already feel chills running down my spine,as I opened my mouth to speak to him.
"Good evening your Grace"
"Good evening to you too your Ladyship"
"What are you doing here at this magnificent gala?"
"My parents want me to find a suitable wife so that I could help bring up an heir"
"My mother wants me to marry too,"
As we continued to talk to each other,an unfamiliar face appeared in front of us, turns out it was Prince Greg of Weildenburg
Greg welnor of Weildenburg,is known to sway a lot of young women to be by his side,but never makes decisions when finding a wife..so.. this could be different.
"Excuse me Duke of house Hazendale,I would like to speak with her ladyship if you may"
"With all due respect your highness,you interupted our conversation,so will you politely leave us alone?"
Oh my goodness! Both the Prince and the Duke are fighting over me!? Mother said I need to marry a Duke so..
"Excuse me your highness,but I am not interested in you,but I do appreciate that you're concerned about me"
"You do not understand, you belong to me,my heart is only for you.."
Thankfully... mother came in time to stop the argument.
"Your highness,my daughter doesn't belong to you nor does she love you..so please let my daughter be!"
Soon the King arrived right in front of us with a very concerned look on his face.
"What's with all the ruckus? I could hear you guys all the way from the stairs"
We all apologized and bowed to him.
"Your Majesty, Prince Greg has taken a liking to me..but I can't be with him"
"Technically...my son has dated a lot of women...so I see why you rejected him"
"Father!"
"I'm Telling you Greg, you shouldn't have listened to that womanizer who calls himself a Duke!"
Wait??...Does he mean my father?! I knew it! He was trying to set me up!! Ugh! I already hate him now...well.. nothing can get any more reckless right...right?
