3 days later

"Lady Scarlett of Prague" the mc announced as a young lady wearing a soft pink silk gown made her way inside the hall.

Today was the gala, Prince was waiting to hear Skye's name be announced, he has never been so anxious in his life, Edward had left to see Skye days before the gala and he came back frowning and didn't give him a reply, when he saw his brother's frown, Prince knew that Skye had declined but he kept his hopes up incase Skye came at the last minute.

"Sir Thomas of Beaumont" the mc annouced, a man wearing a tailored suit entered the hall. Prince sighed as he was starting to lose hope.

Queen Star made her way to her son who was sulking at the front table,

"Cheer up honey, there are alot of potentials here tonight" she said, when she saw nothing could bring a smile to her son's face she sighed, what was so different about this boy that affected her son in such a way.

"Lady Harriet from Frankfurt" the mc announced again as a lady wearing a black sequin dress entered the hall.

Prince felt his chest tighten as he lost hope, Skye was not coming, although he hoped that he'd eventually come, he was wrong. He watched as his potentials chatted with each other, some stealing glances at him, the potentials were both males and females, he picked up his glass wine as he stood to go mingle with his potentials, the person he was waiting for was not coming so why not try to find a substitute.

"Sir Skye of Dublin" the mc announced, Prince froze in his steps as he watched the person enter the hall, he was wearing a dark blue velvet suit jacket with black dress pants and black dress shoes, Prince smiled as he watched Skye enter the hall.

Edward watched from a corner as he saw the way his brother was looking at Skye, he was totally whipped.

He went towards Skye and he smiled.

"Thought you changed your mind"

"Sorry, there was no parking" Skye smiled, he was so nervous that his palms were flooding with sweat, he never felt so out of place.

Edward smiled as he led Skye to his brother,

"Hello there" Edward smiled as he saw his brother opening and closing his mouth as he was lost for words.

"Hi" Skye said shyly, the last time they saw each other was the day they had sex, Prince composed himself and took Skye's hand in his.

"Let's dance" he said, Skye nodded as they went to the centre of the hall, the waltz started and they danced.

The other potentials watched as they danced, it was clear to them that they didnt stand a chance to compete next to the boy from Dublin, they joined the waltz and they danced the night away.
