[FOF] Starfall

The prince had found himself drawn to a conversation with a couple of servants instead of talking to many nobles inside the room, even if the nobles were most certainly staring at him. It was not something one might expect of him, but he found that the best way to learn secrets about a royal family or a particular person within that family - a princess in his case, was to speak to the servants about how they were treated. Rashid knew they were often more honest than nobles themselves, but he could not find a single bad word spoken about the young woman in question, which told him a lot.

When all eyes moved away to one person descending the stairs, he could not stay behind, feeling his curiosity as he allowed his eyes to rove over the dark-haired crown princess with an eye-catching dress sparkling like the many stars in the sky. For a moment, she effortlessly kept his full, undivided attention, and if he had not been such a well-composed man, he might have even dropped his jaw at the sight. However, when she eventually made it down the stairs, he decided to bring back his whole casual charade, turning his attention back to the servant. Who had, in the meantime, left his side. Right.

Bringing back the cup of wine to his mouth, he let his eyes wander over some nobles who could now approach him, and they did once he looked at them. But it did not take long before they were robbed of the opportunity to finally talk to him, as the princess had finally found him amidst the people attending this ball. His attention quickly moved back to her as he turned his back to the nobles, the corners of his mouth curling up in that feline smile when she told him she had been looking for him. ”Well, ofcourse, you have.” He told him as if he had been expecting her to look for him, widening that smile in a cocky manner. Then he could not help himself from looking at that dress, which was quite honestly the most beautiful one he had ever seen, and this made it hard for him to pull his eyes back up to her face. ”Your Highness, may I just say you look absolutely stunning tonight.” He told her once he noticed all the nobles had scattered away, allowing his eyes to meet hers again. Immediately after his words, his hand moved up in invitation. ”Would you honor me with a dance?” The man continued.

In his own kingdom, it was often said that he had his way with women. Though, this was not actually true. He was rather charming, yes, that was true, but only a few ladies had managed to keep his attention for longer than a couple of weeks. All except for one… And they all knew about her, even if they had no idea it was not his choice to share his bed with her. Or maybe it had been a choice, in a way, since he had chosen to protect his cousin from falling into ruin. That did not mean, however, that he enjoyed the method. She had her nails dug into him, keeping him trapped. Preventing him from living the life he was supposed to be living. And even now, he kept this in mind while he asked the beautiful crown princess of Ravary to dance with him.

He gently raised the hand she gave him, escorting her to the dancefloor while leaving enough room for her to walk gracefully beside him. All very decently, compared to the looks he gave her. The sun elf did not pay much attention to the many looks they gave them, only having eyes for her. Gracefully taking the dance position by keeping the hand she gave him into his while placing his other hand just below her shoulder blade. And when the music started, he began to move his feet, sweeping her over the floor as he took the lead. ”Now, tell me, what are your dreams in life?” He asked while keeping his dark brown eyes fixed on hers. Wondering if anyone had ever asked her this question before because, most of the time, nobles would just expect things from royal figures like her, not even taking into consideration that there might be things they would want for themselves. He knew this because it often happened to him as well. But he and his friends were quite different in that aspect.
