The Princess of Ice Kingdom

Chapter 32

Vin's mask up there ^

***
After wearing the mask given by knight Riley, they head inside.

Where he saw the host, king of Siberia dancing with his daughter, as a gesture of starting of evenings ball dance.

But what draw his attention is the daughter, The princess, she have the most beautiful silver hair's which flow with her moves, her gown which is of midnight blue color have many small diamonds which shine's with her movements creating a illusion that the stars have landed on her dress. Half of her face is covered by an mask of same color as her gown. But he couldn't able to see her eye's as they were closed when he was looking.

The next second King Albert's figure block's his vision, and when Albert turns again, a Noble lady comes in front of him to ask for a dance.

He refuses the advancement right away, while being as polite as he could. Vin is already trying to stay away from humans but those humans were just disturbing him again and again (he's not that used to humans pardon him)

Seeing the crown prince getting irritated, his right hand men who's standing by his side spokes "Your Highness, how about you have a stroll around the garden outside. Don't worry about here, Knight Riley and I'll will take care of everything, while your highness can congratulate King Albert and Princess later"

Vin think a bit, then nodded at the suggestion. His Butler asked a servent for the direction then guide Vin towards the Garden. When they reach it Vin sends his Butler inside.

Iris gives her tiara to the Butler Fin and instruct him to pass it to her mother as it is a little bit heavy. But she forget to remove her mask.

Sh proceed towards the Garden, she knows every direction of crystal castle like the back of her hand.

When she reached the garden,  the first thing which she notice is a men's back who's sitting on the bench while staring at the sky. He seems lost in his thoughts, like he didn't even realize her presence at his back.

But in fact he Does, he have sensed her presence the moment she arrives. As an vampire and a Royal blood one at that, his senses are way sensitive than any Normal human.

He just don't want to alert the person who enters, to see if the person is just passing by from there or have another ideas.

Iris remains standing behind him, her gaze fixed on his back.

Seconds become minutes and Vin's patience started to waver, he said with a hint of irritation clearly present in his tone "Are you done staring?"

Iris chuckled at his question and start to move forward.

Vin thought she is going to sit besides him, but he still wants to see if his prediction is correct or not.

To his surprise she pass through the bench and sits on the ground making herself comfortable, hands on her knees. she didn't even look towards him but instead stares at the stars, after a few seconds she said calmly her voice contain amusement "I'm was just testing your patience, afterall even after sensing my presence, you pretends not to know, don't you."

Her voice gives him a really soft feeling like he can listen to her talking for hours. But what shocks him is that she knows about him pretending, cause she has not asked a question rather stated a fact...

His astonishment didn't last long, he let out a chuckle, his light laughter sound like Bell's to Iris's ears, but when she heard his voice it leave a deep impression on her, the rich deep husky voice, graceful yet fierce with a hint of laziness, he said "so you know, I have a question about how you guessed it my lady?"

The Brow's hidden beneath the mask raised at his question but she still answered nonetheless "I haven't guess it... I know it" she shrugs her shoulders at the last like she don't care if he won't believe.

Vin's lips curved into a arc making a amused smile, he said "You are really interesting Princess,  congratulations on making your debut"

A smile appears on Iris face as she said "thank you Sir Prince"
