The full moon, illuminious above the ocean was gorgeous in the eyes of Dohana. She kept her eyes on it, her face joyous despite the breeze of the ocean striking against it.

Jake marvelled at the way her coloured long dress tightened around her sculptured figure.

"What's a princess like you doing in a dump like this?"

'Who could that be? Who could this stranger with a deep voice be?'

Dohana turned her head slightly to her left as the man stood by her, fixated his eyes on the moon. Dohana stared at him. He was tall and handsome, she thought.

"Princess?" Dohana voiced out, concern written all over her face. "I'm no princess. What gave you that idea?"

Jake looked at her, giving her a subtle smile. She was gorgeous, with her braided and curly flowing hairstyle. Her midnight black hair was flowing down over her shoulders. 

"Well, if a certain kingdom needs a princess. I'd be glad to recommend you, cause you are one beautiful woman."

A smirtle emmited from Dohana as she was pleased. The young man was not only good looking, but had a sweet tongue too. She stared at his rosy lips as he spoke, and every word he said sounded like sweet melodies to her ears. His slanted green eyes when he looked at her, warmed her heart. 

When he noticed her subtle smile, he looked into her blue eyes which exuded a form of calmness and mystery. She had lilac soft strawberry sweet lips, a kind Jake had never kissed. It was when her crescent shaped eyebrows curved down on her sweeping eye lashes that Jake realised her inquisitive look, perhaps he had been lost in her eyes for too long.

"Don't tell me you like the full moon?" Jake said.

"Oh! I love it," she said passionately  grinning and looking up at the moon. "I love astronomy. Sometimes I wished I could have sturdied towards that field and made it my profession."

"Interesting," said Jake, "I've never met a woman who's interested in extraordinary professions like astronomy." Jake returned a smile.

"Oh! Well, I guess you haven't met all the women." She glanced back at him as he glared at the moon. "What about you? What brings you out to watch the moon instead of partying and mingling with the beautiful women inside?"

A wry smile exerted from Jake before he replied, "I don't know. I feel like I don't belong. None of the women here are my type," Jake said before he looked at her. "Until I met you."

Dohana's face flushed red, blushing as she faced the ground. Butterflies building in her stomach.

Jake's heart was taken by her geniunely shy expression. 'I must admit, this girl is gorgeous,' he thought. 'Look how cute she is when she's shy.'

Jake felt like he could hug her immediately, his heart beating erratically.

"Crazy isn't it? I felt the exact same way," she said looking into his eyes. 

"My name's Jake Larson, you can call me Jake," said Jake extending his hand. 

She reached out shook it, then said, "Christine Dohana, you can call me Dohana."

'Beautiful, even her name is different.'

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Dohana," Jake said kissing her hand like a gentleman. 

Dohana face flushed, she had never been kissed like that, not even for a greeting. "Likewise," she managed to say.

"So, I think I've seen enough of the moon for one night," Jake said smiling.

Dohana giggled and said, "you're right, we should maybe go-"

"Get some drinks," Jake nervously interrupted, simpering. They turned and started sauntering their way back into the party deck, while constantly taking a sneak-peek glance at each other and returning wry smiles.

"By the way," said Jake galncing at her dress, "you're wearing the most beautiful dress out here tonight."

A smirtle emmited from Dohana before she said, "So much flattery Mr Larson, if I didn't know better I'd say you're blind. With all the women in the party tonight?"

"Honestly, I saw you come in earlier. But you vanished before I could take a good look. This dress caught my attention. It's quiet gorgeous, like you." Jake stood at the entrance gazing upon her.

She blushed, words escaping her lips- only managed to a sweet grin. 

As the couple came in, various members of Jake's friends saw them. That included Luke, who grinned, nodded in approval and winked at Jake. 

When they arrived at the VIP section, Jake called the waitress over and she came over immediately.

"Bring me a shampagne of Cristal brut, and for my lady..." Jake sturdied Dohana, who seemed shy to make her pick. 

"Please being an Armand de Brignac shampagne for my lady," said Jake. Dohana simpered at Jake. 

'He is such a gentleman,' thought Dohana. 'Has'nt he all the qualities of a good man? Out of all the women here tonight, he chose me.'

When the waitress returned, she poured the shampagne on their glasses. The two toasted to each other and drank.

"To us," said Jake lost in her eyes as their glasses clashed. 'Wow, she's so gorgeous. I love the way she carries herself, her posture- princess like.'

"So, who did you come with tonight?" Jake asked.

"My friends, they are..." Dohana said pointing and squinting at the crowd. "They were right there. They must have moved." 

Noticing her worried tone, Jake said, "looks like they've left you at my capable hands. Don't worry, they'll come back. They probably went to the restroom or something."

After having a conversation for over thirty minutes, the two had gotten well acquainted. They began to be tipsy and much more relaxed, sitting closer to each other at a moment's breath.

Suddenly, Lady Gaga's music hit, a hidden stage appeared and the crowd roared with excitement. The dance floor went bananas. Even Dohana shot up with elation.

"Oh! I love this song!" said Dohana yelling.

"To the dance floor then," replied Jake, he reached over and grabbed her hand. A lightning bolt struck as their hands touched, they glared at each other as they headed to the dance floor.

    The bullet flew through the air. While Aishantha looked on at the gun quivering helplessly, a diving figure leaped across her and fell to the ground.What?Everyone's head was buzzing, did the Queen Mother really pull the trigger?Aishantha subconsciously probed her body for gunshot wounds. And when she found none, she instantly glanced at the figure lying on the floor. Her mind was boggled.It was Jake. Blood was stained all over his suit and his white t-shirt was red."No, Jake!" Princess Dohana cried, dropping to her knees and puzzled, not knowing how to help Jake at all. "Why did you do that, why?"With his eyes closed as if he was dead, Jake didn't respond.Everyone else stood there, stunned."Oh, you want to be a hero, right?" The Queen Mother said, chuckling before raising the gun towards Aishantha again. Prince Dominic quickly stepped over and blocked Aishantha completely."You...you have dissapointed me Dominic. Did you forget the plan so suddenly? You were supposed to marry

    Feeling the cold blade on his neck, Prince Dominic was furious. How could he have let his guard down. As the renown Prince of Paris, and having trained on the art of combat since he was a child, how could he accept defeat by an amateur. 'Obviously this kid is no experienced fighter, and to be cheated and be outdone by him is just embarrassing. But I'm a Prince, I can't lose.' "I said, say your last words pal!" Jake yelled. Prince Dominic thought of countermeasures quickly. "Who said I've lost," after he spoke, the Prince used his left hand to squeeze Jake's injured shoulder. The Prince had thought about it. He'd hurt Jake where he previously stabbed him and then use this momentum to turn the tables. After using all his strength to squeeze and jab the injured shoulder, Jake merely glanced at his hand. Seeing Jake's smirk, Prince Dominic was astonished. Why is he not hurting? Seeing his puzzled face, Jake leaned back and used his right hand to reveal the wounded area. What?

    Pin drop silence followed as all eyes gathered around the man who had just crashed into the wedding hall. Everyone couldn't help but gasp at the sight and the aura that pervaded him. He wore a stylish black suit, with a red tie; the black shades he had on gave him a mysterious demeaner. With his hands jammed into his side pockets, looking extremely relaxed, he smiled as he glanced at the audience. The Queen Mother was staring at him in total bewilderment. She couldn't figure it out. She had done her utmost best to ensure he would never be able to enter the palace, let alone the wedding venue. How did he pass through the thousands of royal soldiers defending the royal palace?"Jake!"Princess Dohana couldn't believe her eyes. She shuddered at the site of him, staggering back.'Finally, my Prince charming didn't let me down. He came to save me. He is really here. Am I dreaming? That means I don't have to marry Dominic, I don't.'As a thousand thoughts ran through Princess Dohana's mind

    The atmosphere became tense in a second. Erick Vohn drew out his sword, showing a sneer as he directed his sword towards the Resistance army."How dare you try to deceive us? Do you know who I am?"Mr Heart returned a mocking smirk, "You're the general of a mutilated army.""Shut up! the general shouted, "soldiers, attack!"The royal soldiers roared and charged together simultaneously."Resistance, buckle up and get ready to defend, walls of steel!" As soon as the words resonated through the air, the Resistance formed a straight wall. One soldier had his knee to the ground, the other stood behind him blocking the abdomen, their shields both blocking the opponent. Behind them, the soldiers pushed them hard to resist.When the oncoming traffic of royal soldiers clashed against the wall, they bounced off and stabilised their feet before rushing back. After several attempts, the soldiers began to wonder what was up about the wall? How could their opponents be so strong. Seeing this scen

    As the sun rose in the east, Princess Dohana opened her eyes and she couldn't help sighing with emotions. Today was her wedding day but she was sad. She had always imagined her wedding day would be the happiest day of her life. But instead, it promised to become a dreadful day.Soon Princess Dohana picked herself up and prepared to head over to the bathroom to wash up but to her surprise, a man was sitting on a chair looking at her attentively."Prince Dominic!"The Prince smiled and said, "you look even more beautiful when you're sleeping so peacefully."Feeling intruded, Princess Dohana stepped back instinctively and said, "what are you doing here? Don't you know the groom is not supposed to see the bride on the morning of the wedding?"The smile on the Prince's face was quickly replaced by a lazy sneer. "Oh please, cut the crap. It's not like you really want to get married to me."Princess Dohana looked down as she saw his gloomy face.Seeing her so docile, Prince Dominic stood up

    The atmosphere in the hall changed, one could cut the air between the Queen Mother and Princess Dohana with a blunt knife. The silence that reigned, if you dropped a pin, it could be heard clearly. Between the royal family, it was Dorah who recovered first. Her sharp eyes stared down the Princess and she couldn't hide her disgust. "You...Dohana, how could you be this stupid? What marriage are you talking about?" Sirah also added, furrowing her brows, "do you mean you're married officially? Like legally?" The Queen Mother cackled out of nowhere. The voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the hall as everyone looked at each other in dismay. "Child, don't tell me you got drunk and had an accidental wedding." The Queen Mother continued to laugh. "No. Your majesty, it was a sober day when I got married." "Shut up!" Dorah scolded angrily. 'How shameless can this woman be?' "You shut up, okay!" Dohana retorted, pointing her fore-finger across the lot. "I don't need any of your
