There got here a knock on the door.

I’m wondering who it’s? I am wanting ahead to tonight’s ball, I plan on having enjoyable, too dangerous I haven’t got a date, I mumble as somebody walks inside proper after the knock.

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s probably the most beautiful princess of this land?” Zenab grins as he walks contained in the room, I stare at him and smile, he was wanting superb himself.

“Cease,” I let loose a mild smile and chuckled strolling over to him.

“What I am telling the reality, did not the mirror inform you that, nicely look into my eyes it is the most effective mirror and it says my sister is probably the most beautiful sister in the entire land,” Zenab teased holding my fingers in his.

“You do not say, why are you right here? is princess Sharon not accompanying you to the ball?” I requested brushing his nostril with one hand.

“Lets?” he requested with a smile, I smile at him setting my hand in his, “Sure please,” I grinned as he fortunately took my hand as we heard out of my chamber.

“Behold, presenting the crown prince, prince Zenab and princess royal, princess Nancy!!!!!!” the announcer mumbled in a loud hoarse voice as everybody stands barely bowing their heads as we stroll in. 

It was magical as all the time strolling by the aspect of Zenab, grandma had the hotter smile and need us for the thousand instances a cheerful birthday, we greeted the elders within the royal household with a bow and kissed their fingers for blessings.

I look over to Princess Sharon and tilted my head motioning her to return over, in any case, they’re all his wives, Princess Sharon giggled and shortly run over even when princess Shelly tried to hitch us on stage, she stepped in again shamefully.

I smile at Zenab and Princess Sharon when he fortunately took her hand, I flip to go away the stage for them simply to see Prince Asher standing in my means.

“Might I, my princess?” he requested placing his hand ahead with a faux smile, he had the higher hand as a result of all eyes have been on us even that did not hassle me, I used to be solely pissed I will not get to spat on his face since doing that may trigger me hassle with grandma.

“Who stated I need to?” I stated gritting my enamel whereas faking a smile, “Everyone seems to be watching us, so please defend the little status you have got left,” he snarls as he takes my hand forcefully, the nerve of this moron astonishes me typically.

“You understand what? you’re extra pathetic than I believed, if you’ll elevate your self so excessive you need to at the least do it with some class it’s so shameful to know your father nonetheless dictate who you even dance with,” I pout since I used to be compelled to bop with him I may solely let loose my anger on him.

“Not all of us has the luxurious of claiming no to our mum or dad’s orders,” it took him some time to reply that, I suppose I handle to bruise his ego which makes me extraordinarily delighted at the least we’re each having a foul time.

“Oh, by the best way, it isn’t luxurious it is about standing up for your self,” I chuckled just a little above his ears as he rolls his eyes, my eyes glancing with grandma’s who could not cease smiling.

Zenab and Sharon are fondling one another fortunately whereas I am caught with this ass gap that makes me unable to breathe, nice the music simply ended, I instantly took off my hand which I am positive everybody did discover however hell I could not stand him any longer nor preserve faking smiles.

Whereas I stroll out of the stage leaving him there wanting silly Zaneb and Sharon have been nonetheless dancing slowly to the rhythms of their coronary heart.

Instantly the grand door opens as Princess Adela was being introduced and walks into the ball majestically wanting beautiful in a pink costume fairly equivalent to mine if not the identical. 

with a crown much like mine, everybody began to whispers amongst themselves, Zenab and everybody’s consideration was on her as she makes her technique to the excessive desk the place the shut household was seated, I attempted to conduct myself and let it slide however the extra I strive the extra absurd I look.

I stroll near her as she bows with the identical faux silly harmless smile she has. ” Lengthy reside my princess,” she hissed with a smile.

“What a coincidence your costume seems similar to mine if not the identical, now take off your crown and seat among the many visitor,” I ordered with a severe look on my face.

“You heard me, you aren’t but a part of the royal household till then cease performing like one furthermore it’s my birthday and your husband to be isn’t even current right here,” I mumbled as she could not preserve pretending with a smile.

She tilts her head with a mild bow and turns to go away the corridor angrily, Zenab walks to me and holds my hand, “What did you inform her Nancy? individuals are watching,” Zenab cautioned.

“I requested her to take a seat among the many visitor for she isn’t but a royal member and he or she determined to go away,” I scoff, I used to be indignant she dare to stroll out on me her little wings have to be lower off earlier than it grows any greater.

“It is time to lower the cake!” grandma rumble to get everybody’s consideration from what occurred. I do know she have to be planning one thing.

>Betty are you able to hear me?< I requested closing my eyes, I could not spot the dual wherever and I used to be scared they could be her goal, grandma will not let me depart from there.

<Calm down Nancy Barbara and Barbie are with me,> Betty stated studying my thoughts but nonetheless I felt stressed one thing was flawed I may really feel it, is Nico again within the palace?

“Nancy!” 

“Huh!” I used to be startled as grandma referred to as me for the third time, I took a bit of cake and feed each Zenab and grandma the piece of cake.

Now it was the flip of each royal member to feed us cake, a few of these traditions are making the palace very boring.

I faux a smile every time they stroll as much as me to feed me the cake which I’ve to eat from their hand pathetic proper? I let loose a sigh when the final royal member was completed.

“The place is your uncle prince Nico?” he needs to be right here, it is extremely necessary for him to carry out this ritual for his nephew and niece,” one of many leaders stated as Zenab at me nervously.

“In hell the place he belongs and which I hope he stays there ceaselessly,” mumble to myself.

“The place you saying one thing my princess?” the annoying outdated man requested me.

“Oh no I imply he wished us this morning already however he wanted to go to the household that took care of him due to the marriage tomorrow,” I got here up with the primary lie that got here to thoughts making an attempt to sound convincing sufficient.

“However he grew up in an orphanage and has no household even that he may have simply summoned them, why the necessity to go there in individual?” one of many leaders requested wanting confused and of trigger sense one thing fishy.

“Um nicely you recognize that is uncle for you, stuffed with secrets and techniques,” I stated sarcastically as they have a look at me with doubts of their minds.

whereas we have been at it a guard got here to whisper one thing into Zenab’s ears as he exclaimed in shock, “WHAT!” Zenab screams as everybody’s consideration shifts to him.

“What occurred?” grandma requested as Zenab was nonetheless in shock, “Grandma,” he mumble nonetheless unable to talk.

“Right here you what’s going on? converse now,” grandma ordered the guard to talk.

“Your royal highness, a bunch of troopers has efficiently breached the borders of Zamuniland, and are matching straight to the royal palace,” the guard introduced in concern.

“How did that occur?” Grandma grumbles in shock holding her chest.

“Based on what we heard that they had a few of our weapon that was how come they have been capable of open the seal.” The guard rumbles.

“Zenab what’s going on?” grandma requested wanting disturbed and confused on the identical time.

“Grandma I believed I may cease it after I came upon about it I confronted Prince Nico however as a substitute he … he..” he Zenab murmur, he did attempt to kill him and I am positive solely grandma understands his final assertion though he did not end it.

“You imply Prince Nico betrayed us?” one of many leaders requested dumbfoundedly.

I angrily stare at him and roll my eyes, “GUARDS!!!” Zenab yells because the palace troopers march contained in the corridor.

“Pay attention up everybody the palace is at present below assault,” Zenab introduced as the group tremble in concern.

“However you’re all secure right here, and as your prince, your security will all the time come first,” Zenab mumbles as he turns to face grandma and me. “You must all keep right here do not come out as soon as the heavy gate is shut,” Zenab murmurs holding my hand.
