BallRoom

A servant entered and announced shouting

"His Majesty the King!"

Richard walked into Hall with firm steps and everybody bowed deeply around him. He sat on his throne and looked around. The hall was crowded abd everyone were driking and dancing. All this because of Valerie. He looked better among crowded but he couldn't see her

Isabella had a long journey from portugal to be here for her fellow princess birthday her eye spotted king richard and she made her way over not noticing valerie anywhere at all. "Your Majesty long time no see." She lowered her mask so that he could see her. "Where is the princess valerie then i have yet to see her."

Richard was sitting on his throne. He smiled at the Princess and nodded with his head

Your Highness...welcome to my court. My niece is not arrived yet, but she'll reach us soon. Everything around here has been arranged by her. Rather, hope your journey has been pleasing, my lady...

He said kindly while looking at her

Inge reached the Castle after an half day spent in carriage by travelling. In spite of her pregnancy, she felt good enough to join the party. But she didn't want everyone notice that. So she wore a large gown to hide her growing belly. She walked into Hall and smiled kindly at people around her. She sat on a chair and finally rested her back and placed her hand on her belly

[quote="Richard Meyer"]Richard was sitting on his throne. He smiled at the Princess and nodded with his head

Isabella smiled kindly back. "Does his majesty have the time for a walk about the ball room or is the first dance reserved. My travel here was ok not so hot here but i am adjusting to the weather now."

Richard smiled warmly and shook his head

Of course not, Princess Isabella. The first dance is not reserved, and I'll be honoured to start it with you. Music!

He ordered to musicians while standing up. Then he took gently her hand and leaded her until the dancefloor. Everyone were looking at them. Once the music started, they bowed each other and started to dance. He was holding her hand and kept on smiling

Isabella raised an eyebrow as she brushed past him taking in his scent. "Your majesty tell me would you of danced with anyone else had they asked you." She lowered her head as she felt all attention on them. He coild rebuke her but she wondered what his beard would feel like upon her lips.

Richard smiled and met her eyes after her question. He wrapped her waist strongly

No, actually. I only accept to dance with beautiful and charming ladies. And  after all, you come from a long journey. You deserve some pleasure, Your Highness...

He said while dancing and made her turn around herself. When she turned her face to him again he looked intently at her beautiful face

Isabella rolled her head back in laughter. "Your Majesty thinks that this is pleasure for me?" Her eyes did not remove from his as she twirled under his arm. "We have very defintions of pleasure a horse ride for me is pleasurable for me. Tell me where is the best place in bavaria to go for a ride." Wanting him to show me l.

Richard was following music with sure steps. They changed partner for a little while, and she was in front of him again he smiled

Oh...I can show you our beautiful Black Forest, my lady. I'm sure you have nothing similar in Portugal. Maybe tomorrow...we can have a ride together. I know very few women good in riding...

He said with a charming smile and pulled her towards him again

Isabella smiled. "Black forest sounds rather mysterious Should i wear a bright color as we don't get lost?." She looked at him with a raised eyebrow and whispered into his ear. "Do you always pull women this close to you or just royalty? I shall retire to my chamber and i look forward to the ride tomorrow who knows we might come across a stag." Isabella finished their dance and did a quick curtsey.

The music stopped and everyone around them clapped their hands

I can't wait to see you again tomorrow, my lady. And...no, I don't care about royality, actually...

He answered whispering bowng at her. When his eyes met hers he smiled meaningfully

Isabella looked at him confused. "If his majesty does not care about royalty then surely you do not care about me! Not like i wanted you too anyway." She sighed feeling utterly embaressed she kissed his hand. Until tomorrow your majesty She left feeling like a fool she needed somewhere cool to go so she headed towards the river looking back at the king willing him to come to her.

Richard looked astonished at her, surprised by her reaction. He tried to smile at people around them and watched her leaving Hall silently. He took a breath and reached his throne again

I entered the Hall I was dressed in a red dress, a dress that was made by my mom,

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I saw my uncle and first went to him

Richard saw Valerie entering and smiled warmly. He gestured her to come closer

Valerie...my dear niece! Everyone was waiting for your arrival. You look beautiful. How are you?

He asked taking her hand once she reached to his throne

I smiled and blushed when my uncle gave me those beautiful compliments.

"My King" and I bowed, then I lifted my head and smiled again.

"My dear uncle, I am very well, but I always pray for your health, how are you, do you enjoy the party?"

After I greeted my uncle, I turned around and saw the people, they where dancing, and laughing and then my eyes met with a handsome man in the hall, he looked at me with his exotic eyes honey colored, his look was extremely sensitive, my body started to develop an incomprehensible energy, the feeling that was withdrawing me to him.

Richard was smiling at his niece, telling her how much he was enjoying the festivities, when very quickly she left him to join people in Hall. He sighed, a bit disappointed. After all, she was young and surely she enjoyed more with people of her same age rather than with her uncle. He frowened and gestured a servant to bring him a goblet of wine, without removing his eyes from her

Inge was still sitting on the sofa watching people and hearing music. She thought it was too dangerous dancing in her conditions. A servant brought her a fruit juice and she started sipping it gently leaning an hand on her belly

I saw Inge and went to her imminently,

"My dear, thanks for coming" I smiled

"How are you?"
