Out of all the men in he hall, there was one whose facial expression was neutral and different from other behind him stood a man in black. Wearing a silencer mask and carrying a mysterious aura around him which makes him look all the more powerful and unapproachable was the man Arya bumped into.
“Why do you think he is putting on a mask?” Asked a lady standing behind the table five meters away from the mysterious man whispering to the other lady beside her.
“ I don’t know, but it makes him look so handsome” said the other lady squealing.
“Shut up, what if he hears you” said the First Lady cautioning her.
“He can’t. Look, we are five meters away from him” said he other lady fanboying over him.
“I think he had an accident and his face got disfigured by it or why would you have beautiful features and want to cover them” said the First Lady reasoning.
If the man in black could hear her thoughts, he would have said “How stupid is your brain level, my highness presence here is worth hundred of millions” but luckily he could not hear her or she would have been destroyed by us blunt mouth.
“I think you are right because why will he wants to hid his face” said the other lady losing her interest already.
“ I heard this royal ball was organised for a reason” said the other lady whispering.
“What reason” asked the first lady.
“Wait…..let me check for something” said the other lady dipping her hands into her high end bag
Bringing out her phone and scrolling into her gallery, she found the picture she was looking for. Then she showed it to the first lady.
Looking at he diagram closely, suddenly realising.
“Isn’t that the man in front of us” said the First Lady
“Wait…….what” said the other lady looking at the diagram on her phone closely.
“That’s true, why didn’t I noticed that since. No wonder I felt I have seen him somewhere, he looked familiar.
She immediately put back her phone into her purse because she found the picture in her dad’s study and which she snapped out of fancination on one bright day, which she doesn’t want it to turn dark suddenly.
If that man’s picture could be found amongst the important files in her dad’s study. Then this man is not meant to be trifled with.
“Where did you get the picture of that man from” asked that first lady.
“ I found it in my father’s study and also overheard them when they were discussing about this man, and who turns out the be the crown prince of the biggest kingdom in this empire, which is known as the pearl kingdom.
“Uhhh, uhhhh” said the the First Lady nodding taking a breathe of shock.
“The pearl kingdom, isn’t that the largest kingdom in this empire, that even if all the kingdoms powers combined its still won’t be up to theirs. Are you talking about that kingdom?” Said the First Lady with an increase in the volume of her voice.
“Shhh,shhh, do you want to put us in trouble, are you crazy!!!” Exclaimed the other lady as she admonished the First Lady
“I am so sorry. I hope he didn’t hear us” said the First Lady apologetically. Fortunately the man was not even listening to his surroundings.
“Okay, so what happened next?” Asked the First Lady after calming down, as they continued their gossip.
“So, I overheard my father and brother discussing about this crown prince looking for a princess to marry in order for him to attain the throne of his father” said the other lady making sure she didn’t skip any part of what she heard.
Not all women are gossipers, someone’s are just the direct descendants.
“Do you know what surprised me the most” said the other lady.
“What???” Asked the First Lady expectantly.
“ I heard that this ball was arranged just to announce to everyone that the royal white flower is engaged to this crown prince and will be getting married in the next three days” said the other lady already expecting a look of schock from the First Lady.
“What…..are you sure????” Asked the First Lady with a look of shock not expecting this at all.
“Of course I am. As the duke’s daughter all my information is right” said the other lady with a look of pride.
“That’s true, that’s true” said the First Lady nodding her heads assured.
“Well, thank goodness she’s being married off to someone whose face is probably disfigured” said the First Lady spitefully.
“Yeah, that’s true. Now we can have all the handsome men to ourselves. Well, the most to me. As you all know I am the most beautiful woman in this kingdom after the royal white flower” said the other lady a hint of dejection could be heard from her voice when she said the last sentence.
“That’s true” said the First Lady trying to curry favour knowing her father’s position as the Duke of the kingdom.
“Hmmm” said the other lady smiling knowingly.
