Cole woke up and noticed it was already 4 PM, he stared at the girl sleeping peacefully in his arms, he gently caressed her cheeks and her eyelashes fluttered.

"Hmm, 5 more minutes." Eleanor lazily said snuggling into his chest.

Cole chuckled and got out of bed making Eleanor open her eyes. "You need to get ready, we only have a few hours left." Cole said with his husky voice while going inside the bathroom.

Eleanor couldn't help but groan and lazily got out of bed, to go the room across his where she is supposed to 'sleep'.

"My lady your up!" A cheerful maid said while pushing the half awake Eleanor to the bathroom along with Emma and 4 more maids.

They helped her bath adding some rose petals in the bath, and washed her hair. After she was done the maids did her make up which would barely show as her face is already perfect.

"Get the lady's dress! Quick!" A maid said to the maid with glasses. Soon a dazzling gown came into view and they quickly put it on her.

The gown was perfect! It showed her curves and collarbone making her look sexy. She put on the white gloves that was up to her elbow and it matched the light red dress she was wearing.

She slipped on her 5-inch heels then the maids did her hair, Her hair was curled and put into a half up ponytail.

"Wow! This dress looks even more beautiful with you wearing it my lady!" The maid flattered her, as Eleanor stared at her reflection, contented. The maids did a great job!

The maids kept flattering her before a knock interrupted them, "We'll leave now, my lady." Emma said while escorting the rest of the maids out.

Cole walked in, staring at Eleanor who was sitting down and looking at the mirror.

"You never fail to surprise me." Cole walked up to her and kissed the corners of her lips, which earned a giggle from Eleanor.

Eleanor turned her attention to Cole, His Silver-gold hair was kept the same, which made Eleanor want to comb her hand through his hair. His deep blue eyes staring at her lips.

Eleanor leaned in and pecked Cole's lips before going to the door, "Let's go, or else we'll be late!" Eleanor laughed but before she could open the door it was shut by a man behind her.

She turned to Cole, her back against the door while his strong arm was above her head as he towered over her, "I want a kiss." Cole said huskily as Eleanor giggled, he was acting like a little kid.

Eleanor tiptoed and pecked his lips, She looked innocently at Cole who was still not satisfied.

Cole tapped his lips twice, Eleanor laughed and pecked him before she could pull away, Cole leaned in, deepening the kiss while his tongue explored her mouth. They pulled away to catch their breaths.

Eleanor glared at Cole and slapped his chest. "We're really going to be late if you keep doing this." Eleanor pouted. Cole just chuckled before opening the door for her and placed his hand on her waist keeping her close.

The maids were aware of what happened inside there seeing Eleanor's flushed expression, and they couldn't help but feel warm at the sweet couple.

They walked to where the ballroom is, and they entered after they announced their arrival. They held their breaths as the both of them walked in, They couldn't hold their 'woah' as they looked at Eleanor then back to Cole.

"Sis! Keep your hands away from my sister your highness." Constantine said while Hugo made his way to us.

"Your highness, Eleanor, I'm glad your okay now." Hugo said ignoring Constantine who was still scolding Cole who wasn't listening.

"Thank you for your concern Hugo! I'm fine now, just a bit tipsy." Eleanor assured him, before Alastair slapped Cole's back and said hi.

"Yo, Ellie is it fine for you to come here?" Alastair held a glass of wine on his right hand and smiled at Eleanor.

"Mm, I'm all good now." Eleanor again assured him.

"Eleanor, You all good now?" A voice at Eleanor's back interrupted their conversation. Eleanor nodded feeling tired of talking. They (except Eleanor) talked about war and some issues with the kingdom.

"Brother, where's mom and dad?" Eleanor whispered to her brother as she didn't want to interrupt their discussion. Constantine pointed his head to the left where her her parents and some couples who were at their mid 40s were talking. Of course she couldn't bother her parents.

Eleanor gleamed when she saw Freesia and Anemone at the corner sitting and talking, no one approached them as they looked scary and unapproachable. That is because they made it seem like that but Eleanor wasn't afraid of them.

Eleanor tugged on Cole's hand that was resting on her waist, Cole turned his head towards her, "I'm going to my friends." Cole frowned thinking it was Lilian, "Anemone and Freesia...they're my friends i met a year ago!" She explained.

Cole sighed, he reluctantly let go, he had to let her go so she can talk to her other friends too seeing she wasn't listening to their conversation.

"Don't drink, your already drunk enough." Cole whispered in her ear, Eleanor scoffed and slapped his hard chest before saying goodbye to her friends and going to Anemone and Freesia.

"ANEMONE, FREESIA!!" Eleanor loudly said scaring the two girls. Earning some glares at the nearby ladies who were eyeing Eleanor from the start.

"Stell---Lana, thank God your okay!" Freesia laughed,

"Don't scare us like that you idiot." Anemone grumpily said while munching on some food.

I plop down the seat next to Anemone, "What were you two talking about?"

"About how we hate this f*cking corset." Freesia elbowed Anemone, "Language, our little sister is here!"

Eleanor laughed, "I don't mind, and i also cuss y'know?" Anemone rolled her eyes while laughing.

"By the way, are you guys engaged to anyone?" Eleanor said while giggling, the two girls tensed up.

"No, and we don't want to." Freesia said while shaking her head.

"Why not?" Eleanor smiled at them suspiciously.

Anemone held back her laughter as she said, "Because were still waiting for you to marry us."

The two laughed loudly, "Tsk! It's not funny anymore!" Eleanor pouted.

Anemone wiped the tear in her eyes, "Still is."

Eleanor rolled her eyes, how was that funny?!

"Aren't you gonna eat something? Look at you, you look like a stick." Freesia said after he was done laughing, She sliced a piece of chicken before shoving it in her mouth.

"Sto---Oh wait, it taste delish!" Eleanor's eyes brightened up. Freesia fed her more chicken feeling like a mom.

"You have your own hands you know?" Freesia said while laughing.

"I'm too lazy." Eleanor munched on her food.

"By the way, are you sure you want to marry that stupid prince?" Anemone said staring at the cold prince who was drinking wine with his friends.

"En! I loooove him so much, This big!" Eleanor stretched her hands up, looking like a little kid.

"Are you drunk?" Freesia laughed.

"Nu-uh, It's because.." Eleanor explained while they laughed.

Then a lady who looked at them with disdain approached them, a glass of water on her hand, then she seemingly 'tripped' in front of Eleanor, causing the water to spill on Eleanor's dress.

The ladies who were near them widened their eyes at the guts of the lady whose hair looked like a wig and wore a light blue dress, they immediately noticed the lady's flat chest and couldn't help but think she must be jealous of Eleanor's huge breasts!

Cole and the boys eventually saw this and noticed Eleanor who wiped her dress with a handkerchief, their aura leaked and the atmosphere gradually became colder.

"Oh god! I'm sorry!" The lady said without emotion covering her face with a fan, her lips curved up behind the fan. At this point Cole,Constantine,Hugo,Alastair, and Charles started to walk over to where Eleanor was.

Eleanor got up grabbing the wine on her table before splashing it onto the lady's face, the wine stained her light blue dress, and the lady's mouth was wide open as red wine dripped on her blue dress from her face.

Eleanor opened covered her mouth, "Oops sorry, my hand slipped, are you okay MISTER?"

The onlookers spit blood, they couldn't help but laugh, serves this lady right! She dared to hurt the prince's fiance.

"Augh! How dare you!! Do you know who i am?!" The lady's face turned red from anger, she was fuming at this point.

"Hm? It was an accident though..Let's call it even shall we? After all you did spill water on my dress." Eleanor smiled innocently. The lady couldn't help but be more angry.

Anemone and Freesia laughed loudly, she dared to hurt their Eleanor? Ha!

At this point the prince and the rest arrived, Constantine,Hugo, and Alastair also laughed while Charles grinned slightly. While Cole looked very intimidating.

"Oh! Prince Cole! Please help me! This lady and her friend are bullying me!!" The lady ran up to Cole with her crocodile tears. The onlookers looked at each other, So whose gonna tell her?

"Guards!!" Cole called out and 2 guards came in a hurry, The lady felt happy thinking that stupid girl who called her 'mister' was gonna get thrown out.

"Throw this girl out, Since when did we invite animals." Cole said coldly as the lady's face paled.

"No!! How dare you touch me?! Unhand me at once, you will be punished by my father if you don't do what i say!!" The lady screamed.

The guards were feeling pissed, "Lady if you would just stop struggling this would be much easier." However the lady didn't listen.

A sword was placed against that girls neck, "Shut up." Constantine's voice was cold, feeling annoyed at her.

"Your lucky your just being thrown out, If you struggle again we will file you a case of offending a royal, which could lead to your death." Hugo said with an as-a-matter-of-fact tone.

The lady immediately shut her mouth and was thrown out the ball quietly, the onlookers stared at the lady before laughing then continued to converse.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Cole walked up to Eleanor checking her hands and faced.

"I'm fine!" Eleanor laughed which eased the tension between all of them, "I looked so cool when i splashed wine on her face, right?" Eleanor excitedly said.

They looked at each other before laughing, "Ehem...shameless ehem" Anemone coughed.

Eleanor glared at her before playfully slapping her shoulders, then she remembered she hadn't introduced them yet.

"Ah, right! My friends, Anemone and Freesia." She pointed to both of them and they nodded their heads acknowledging each other.

"Right you can go back to what your doing now! I'm going to sit with Anemone and Freesia." Cole,Constantine,Hugo,Alastair and Charles felt annoyed that Eleanor was kicking them out to spend time with Anemone and Freesia.

"Kicking us out so soon?" Alastair said feeling sad. Eleanor immediately waved her hands, "No, no..It's not like that...Hmm, Would you like to sit together with us then?"

They stared at Anemone and Freesia who also didn't back down from their stare and nodded.

Now their table was full and Anemone, Freesia and Eleanor began to chat about things again, leaving the guys out.

Anemone and Freesia gave the guys a mocking look when Eleanor was drinking water. The guy's were pissed!

Cole was seating beside Eleanor and felt annoyed that Eleanor was turning her back on him, so he placed his hand around her waist which caused Eleanor to look at him and smile before talking to the girls again.

The guys scoffed at the 2 girls who were laughing with Eleanor and even fed and wiped her face so naturally.

Cole held Eleanor's waist more tightly, practically saying to give him attention.

"Hmm? Cole do you need something?" Eleanor said breaking out of her conversation with the girls.

"Should we go back to our rooms now?" Cole whispered so Eleanor was the only one who could hear him, Eleanor firmly shaked her head, "Not yet, It's still 9 PM"

"I'm feeling sleepy." Cole insisted, Eleanor thought for a bit before saying, "Then you can go on ahead, I'll talk to the girl's first." Cole's eyes became darker as Eleanor turned away from him.

Of course the guys who were across him were laughing at how he was rejected, "Bwahahhaha!"

"Shut it." Cole said while drinking a glass of wine.

Cole thought that someday he would gauge out the eyes of those girls who was clearly laughing and mocking him. Cole turned to Eleanor then to the guys who were laughing, before helplessly sighing then drinking another glass.
