“.. Hey, Star.. why do you seem so bummed? I mean, it’s really no problem if I carry you, it’s not much of a problem..”
Rose cleared her throat. Sun took the hint and shut his mouth.
"Hear ye, hear ye!" She called. "The palace has decreed that a royal ball shall be held for three nights so that the princes may find a bride or husband."
Mutters and whispers made their way around the crowd at these words. "Princes? Two of them?"
"You don't believe in the legend do you, Rosie girl?" A man called.
"Course she would! Fanciful women like her!
Just as her mother desired, he had shut his mouth as she spoke, even when the man blurrted out such “rude” words, he stayed silent. But all the while, after she said for the ball.. his mind would soon be a bit boggled, for two reasons..
The first being, why of all days shall they hood such a thing? especially when, he knew that the price would’ve been the same age as himself.
the second.. being if just maybe.. “just” maybe.. he would be able to meet the prince himself.. since well, he has always wanted to meet the prince. Ever since he was a meer child.
Well going even farther-everyone knew of prince Lunar but the second prince had always just been speculation-no one had ever seen him, so most assumed he was just a myth. And wasn't prince Lunar a bit too old to have his ceremony now?
Rose threw her hair out of her face with a flick of her head and carried on as if the hecklers hadn't spoken.
"Finery will be worn and every eligible person in the kingdom is to attend. The royal ball shall be held at the end of June." Rose gave a slight nod and closed the scroll she'd been reading from.
