My head is still resting on Fred's chest as I clutch his shirt like a baby. I opened my eyes and saw everyone had taken a different position. Nate was now leaning on to a wall while looking at the scenery outside of the window, Ren was also leaning to the wall in front of me and playing at the petals of a flower on one of the flower vases, and Dan was sitting on a chair and rocking it back and forth.Fred started to stroke my hair. He was looking at me with a smirk. "Did my charms work?"It took me about a minute to realize what he had just said. Once I realized it, I gave him a frown and smacked him at the chest. "Ow!" He said and feinted hurt. "I take that as a no." I rolled my eyes at him and sat up.My cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Did I really just cry? "Sorry." I said quietly.

The next day, after I woke up and changed into some clean clothes. The queen came into my room to discuss some matters regarding my stay."So I really have to pretend to be your real niece who comes from another country?" I raised an eyebrow at her."Unfortunately, yes." She said and looked at me apologetically. "It seems that your presence has caused some rumors.""What rumors?""That you're a mistress is a mistress.""What the f-" I cussed at the absurdity of it."Ah ah!" The queen chastised. "None of that foul behavior." She said. "So anyway, the story will be like this. You're a princess from another country with 7 older sisters and 8 older brothers."

The past week has been a wreck. My training had been intense since we had to make use of our remaining time for them to prepare me for the ball. I'm not even kidding when I say that the princes may have pushed me to my limit.Ace - I mean - PRINCE Ace had made me read a book about the culture of each and every supernatural type there is. And let me tell you that you can't count them with your fingers. It wasn't really hard because the topic was kind of interesting.Ren and Dan? I can't say they were that patient though because one time I kept on slouching my back and walked like a freaking drunken person and they kind of....freaked out? The one where they cover their eyes and let out a scream and dropped to the floor for an hour. I'm not even kidding. And they would only get up when I make things right. But most of the time, we're just relaxed. Like not-doing-a

"Thanks." I whispered to him. He looked down at me and beamed. "We actually made it."The crowd suddenly applauded us as we reached the bottom and the queen's voice suddenly boomed from the top. "Everyone, this is Princess Rosalie Amber Stan. A new member of the royal family. You will all treat her with the same respect as you have of us." Said the queen. Soon, the crowd suddenly acted. The royals did a curtsy while the Dukes and Duchess bowed."Enjoy the night." With that, everyone parted. Some gave me smiles before heading off to friends or sitting on tables.The other princes came down and joined us looking at the crowd. Dan let out a whistle. "Damn, I didn't expect this many visitors.""I agree." Said Fred. "That is why I'm asking you not to whistle since it's inappr

I saw Fred, who was still dancing with his partner. Our gazes met and, with one hand, he grabbed me and twirled me over to the next person. Fred smiled warmly at me and winked. His dance partner looked confused on why he didn't switch us.But I, on the other hand, remembered our promise. That we would be my last dance for the night. I gave him a smile to let him know that I remembered before I faced my new partner.Well suppose to be a partner. It was Nate, but apparently he was having a conservation with another girl. And he didn't seem happy.It was a girl with long purple hair that shone in the light. I remember from my lesson with Ace that she's Princess Camille. Her silver dress sparkling with different colors as if it were alive. Expensive non-metallic jewelry decorated her from top to toe. I'll say, she's bea
