Thirteen
Princess Sirena
The dress that I was wearing was lilac, complete with flowers embroidered on the bodice. The skirt was made of tulle, it was off the shoulder, and there was a giant white bow in the back. It glittered in the light. Everything about it was to make me look exactly like what I was. A Princess. The Princess that was engaged to Imperator Zale. Prince Zale. I was waiting at the ballroom for him.
I kept on thinking of Xavier Bones, and how he had managed to get into my room. I had no guard yet. Antero would be with Zale. Even my maid hadn’t come with me. I didn’t need to have protection while I was waiting outside the ballroom, but at the same time, I kept on expecting someone to come out of the shadows and kidnap me or do something worse.
