I was strolling consistently. I have been rehearsing how to stroll with mends and a ball outfit for the beyond about fourteen days. I'm certainly strolling with my head held as high as possible like a princess would.
Toward the finish of the foyer was the steps driving down to the assembly hall of the castle. There my dad was sitting tight for me. His back was confronting me when I showed up and remained adjacent to him.
"Your highness, my dad king." I welcomed him as a princess would. I hold my skirt with my hands and made a civility.
"Rise my daughter." Father requested me.
I gradually stand up and gazed toward him. My dad was checking out at me with shock and amazement. This was whenever I first saw him check out at me with feeling. In the past he generally took a gander at me impassively.
The workers that around us were likewise checking out at me with shock and amazement. They halted how they were treating look and gaze at me.
"Ahem." My dad made a sound as if to speak. "Come, let us not keep the visitors waiting."
My dad offered his arm. I held it with my hand tenderly.
I peered down the ball room. Many individuals from honorable and high classes are wearing lovely dresses and suits. Some are gabbing, some are eating and some are moving on the dance floor.
Then the performers quit playing. One worker blew the trumpet to get the visitors consideration.
"Fine people. I present to you Lord Edward Von Heist, leader of Alvannia. Also, his girl third princess Alicia Roselyn Von Heist." The envoy reported our presence.
My dad began to slide the steps and I followed alongside him. We were slipping gradually. I can see individuals underneath were all the while babbling.
I was centering in my walk when we were close at the base. I saw that I can't hear the
prattling of visitors any longer. I glanced around and individuals' eyes, they generally looking towards me. Their countenances were a blend of shock, stunningness, wonderment, and desire.
At the point when my dad and I arrived at the ground we halted.
"Dear visitors, lovely people. I might want to present to you my third girl. The third princess of Alvannia, Alicia Roselyn Von Heist." My dad reported with the substance of a ruler.
The visitors commended. I was feeling overpowered. This is my most memorable chance to go to a ball. What's more, here now I was the star of the evening.
"Hahaha your majesty." A moderately aged strong man moved toward us. "I didn't realize that you were stowing away such a lovely daughter."
"Duke Cunningham." Father welcomed. "Alicia, welcome the duke."
"It's a delight to meet you Duke Cunningham." I welcomed.
"Hahaha the delight is all mine." Duke Cunningham said. "Your magnificence beneficial thing that you have introduced this lovely girl of yours. My child William just turned sixteen. He is a fine youthful chap that can be a decent counterpart for your Alicia."
"Duke, my little girl just turned fourteen. Isn't it a little to right on time to make matches?" My dad answered.
I have known about William Cunningham. He is the main successor to the Cunningham family. It is said that he was a rising honorable here in Alvannia. He isn't just clever yet in addition attractive. Numerous youthful honorable ladies are competing for his focus. What's more, that incorporates my sister, the second princess Elizabeth.
"Babble. There is no such thing as right off the bat in match making." Duke Cunningham said. "William, my child. Where is that boy?" He was looking through the group.
"Father." I heard a voice of a young fellow in the group.
A light haired kid rose up out of the group. He has light blue eyes and light complexion. His grin was astonishing.
"Ok he is right there, William my kid. Come here." The duke requested.
"Your highness, your highness." William bowed before us.
"Arise." My dad requested.
I likewise welcomed him with politeness. "Sir William. It's a joy to meet you." I said.
"Princess, the delight is all mine." William grasped my hand and kissed the back.
In Alvannia in the event that a man of honor welcomes a woman with a kiss behind the hand it implies that he is intrigued to getting to know her better. Either as a companion or in a heartfelt manner.
I become flushed with his signal. William took a gander at me and gave me a sweet and delicate grin.

"On the off chance that the princess let me." William said happily. "Can I visit you sometimes in your courtyard?"
I was frozen completely still. This was whenever a kid first has at any point paid heed to me. I was lost for words.
"Ahh..." I said not knowing what to say.
"Well in the event that youthful William here wish to court my little girl, I will regard his desire. In any case, expect that pursuing a princess will not be easy." My dad said.
"Hahaha obviously your highness. I'm certain my William is up for the challenge." The duke said. His giggling was veritable.
"Then please princess, let me basically begin being your companion first." Williams mentioned.
"O-Okay." I faltered.
