The empress of the north

Chapter 15

me and who i presume is dominic went to the ballroom, i haven't thought about him since the night i met him does he recognise me? is that why he asked me to dance, no impossible i made sure i looked unrecogniseble

" i have to say my lord im surprise you asked me to dance, i don't really carry a good reputation" i said, he chuckled by my statement

" that is true, but you are very interesting your highness" he said but i heard him mumbled something

" how so"

" you're very different from everyone here i can see it in your soul" he answered giving me condescending smile, is he like lucas can hee see my soul?, im not liking this guy, i  glared at him

" what is your name i never seen you before" i asked but it sounded like a demand because  trying to keep my patience

" endymion, your highness but you can call me dominic" he said so i was right he is dominic, what does he want with me, the dance stopped and he took my hand and kissed it

" it was nice seeing you again v, i hope we meet once more" he winked what i stood there shocked watching him leave, i quickly snapped out of my frozen state and went to lucas who was glaring at him, thankfully jeanette and ijikiel were no longer with him so i can tell him what happened

" lucas, that man he recognises me" he quickly snapped out of his glares

" w-what"

" when we got our soldiers, i had a conversation with this guy for like a minute and he asked for my name and i lied and said v, now this guy called me v and i think he can see my real soul"

" ill handle him, just be calm" he said he looks like he was going to kill him so i quickly told him

" don't kill him he may be useful"

" fine" he grumbled and left to search for endymion, you know i think this is the perfect time to perform and leave, i signaled the announcer to announce my performance

" now announcing her highness princess athanasia de alger obelia for her performance!!!" i went  to the stage, i smiled at everyone, cleared my throat and tried to be sincere as possible

no ones pov

the room was silent and every eyes were on athanasia, jeanette went back to claude and squeezed his hand for support still intimidated by her sisters words, would athanasia really tell father the truth and would he believe her the thoughts haunted her

" even though you and i do not see each other eye to eye or get along well, it will be wrong for me not to admit that you rule the empire to higher prosperity , ever since you took the throne from the former emperor, obelia has been peaceful ever since the start of your reign, i hope you continue to bring this empire to higher prosperity" she said she rose her glass to the air

" happy birthday to you your majesty emperor claude de alger obelia" she said giving him a small smile,  claude gave her slight nodded he liked her speech this was the first time he heard anything remotely good about him that came from her mouth but he could still feel that she was looking down on him that she know things that no one knows

" i hope you enjoy this performance" she said taking a last huge sip from her wine, it was a simple beautiful song that was just repeating herself, it was the song Claude discovered her singing to bliss and demanded her to sing
