Hello all :)

This is a new story idea that I came up with after I got stuck with Writer's block with Be my Butler (please check out as well). I thought which Prince might be most appropriate for this storyline and I could only envision Prince Keith. So please enjoy and review.

Keith POV - Nobel Michel Castle Party

It was just another party held by Nobel Michel full of Nobels and members of the royal family milling about. Zain must have really worked hard this time. Chandeliers hanging proudly from the ceiling emitting a glamorous light that filled the whole room. Expensive, vintage wines of the highest quality and food served to the highest standards by the best Michellin Chefs of the world. Each individual here was dressed to show off and casually talking about politics.

I stood here with several ladies around me trying to make conversation with me though I have to admit they were getting a bit boring now.

"Prince Keith, you look so handsome tonight! You are the splitting image of the greatness of the Kingdom of Liberty," complimented a lady from one of the many noble households.

"Why, I should think so", I responded with pride and grinned, "I grew up there and as Prince and Future King I will show the grandness of Liberty".

Liberty. My greatest pride. I work hard everyday to show how incredible the country is and to ensure that when I become King…It will become even greater.

"Dare I ask…Are you looking for a Queen to join your most splendid country?", said another lady nearby who fluttered her eyes.

I yawned, " Who knows?". This was getting incredibly boring and I walked away to join the other 5 princes by the wine table. The women followed at a distance since they knew to give me space and not test my temper. Prince Roberto grinned at me.

"Hows it going with the ladies, Keithster? Found your one true love yet?", he teased me. The incoherent fool.

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me by my proper name, Prince Keith!," I responded with slight irritation, "And my one true love is Liberty".

Prince Roberto looked in mock horror, "You mean the giant signpost on entry? Oh you can't marry that. It won't give you any heirs!".

"We should be looking to marry women of great nobility and power to bring prosperity to our country. It doesn't really matter about love," responded Prince Joshua dryly, "and who in their right minds would marry someone with such…self-absorbancy".

Prince Joshua glanced at me and smirked. My temper began to rise.

"WHY YOU-"

"Now, now…", said Prince Edward in a calming voice moving between us, "I'm sure we will think about that when the situation arises. We don't want to cause any disputes on this fine (gives Joshua a stern look) occasion and (looks at me smiling) I'm sure that nobody would dare reject an offer of marriage to the Great Prince of Liberty".

I nodded agreeing. Absolutely. Who would reject me? I am heir to the greatest kingdom in the world.

"Who's that girl? She looks so beautiful!", exclaimed Prince Roberto excitedly.

I turned around to see Zain leading a girl up the stage to the piano. She was indeed a beauty. She had long silver hair and a pale face. Her lips were tinted with a gentle red and large eyes. A simple blue sparkling ballroom dress wrapped delicately around her waist. Which family did she come from? She holds such an heir of nobility. The princes and I watched as she sat down and placed her frail hands on the piano and began to play.

A gentle melody filled the room as the guests became silent and turned to listen to the Silver-Haired Girl. It was as though we all became entranced by both her appearance and the song she played that was full of mystery, sadness and powerful emotions that brought the complete attention of everyone in the room. Her beautiful hands glided the piano gently and with expertise right down the last note where she lifted her hands in the air. The final note sung in the air.

We all stared in astonishment before the crowd burst out in applause. The girl bowed and she looked straight at me. Her green eyes bore into mine and her lips emitted a thin line. How dare she look at me like that? I am the Prince of Liberty! I growled in anger silently. No woman had ever looked at me so unpleasantly!

I watched as Zain guided her to the main dining area and the party resumed. He handed some food and wine to the girl and whispered something in the girl's ear and walked off. I took my chance to confront the woman. I strided over and stood in front of her ignoring Roberto's, "Ooh, Keithster's making a move!".

She just sipped her wine and continue to eat her food ignoring my very presence! How DARE SHE? I tried to calm my anger as it is besotted of me to lose my temper at a girl I just met. I'll make her see how amazing I am and Liberty is. I smirked.

"That was an excellent performance of yours, my lady", I said in my nicest voice.

She did not change her expression but bowed gently. Her eyes looking down and continued to eat. Irritation fried me. I am trying to make conversation with her, she should stop eating for now!

"Thank you", she replied without expression.

"I don't suppose we've made acquaintance. My name is Prince Keith which I'm sure you've heard of course. What is your name, my lady? Which noble family are you from?"

She sipped her wine and ate another bite of food ignoring my questions.

"You know…,"I gritted my teeth,"It is customary manners in any country to reply to questions when asked. Your name?".

She sighed and replied, "My name is Yukina. I am of no liability to give you anymore details than that, Prince Key wherever you may be from".

"It's KEITH. I am the Prince of the GREATEST Kingdom in the world. Liberty!", I puffed my chest out in proud and grinned. Now she will definitely change her attitude towards me.

"Liberty…,"Setsu drank from her wine without changing expression,"I have never heard of such a place…"

I looked at her with shock horror. She had never heard of Liberty?! How dare she? I trembled in anger. But…then I had an idea.

"In that case, I would be happy to show you the greatness of Liberty if you so happened to wish".

She finished her wine and turned away from me gesturing to Zain who walked over and bowed. He held her arm. What was he doing here? How could she call a butler in my presence? Was she intending to drink more?

"I have no interest in being shown anything, thank you", she replied leaving me in shock as she walked away.

For the rest of the party, I was put in a foul mood and Prince Roberto's attempts at cheering me up were making me feel even more annoyed.

"Cheer up, Keithster! Maybe she lives in the countryside or has bad geography! I mean I don't even know where Dres Van is!", said Prince Roberto cheerfully.

"How could such a woman have never heard of Liberty. It's simply ridiculous. Even farm owners know of Liberty!", I threw up my hands in irritation.

"Though it was quite amusing to see a woman put you in such a predicament", smirked Prince Glenn.

I wanted to punch him. I walked out of the room to the corridor and I began to overhear a conversation round the corner.

"Tell us! Who are you that Prince Keith would just waltz up to and talk to!", demanded Lady 1.

I glanced round to see Yukina there surrounded by 5 of those annoying women who had been following me throughout the party. She stood in the middle with the same vacant expression of calmness and emptiness.

"Who are you that he doesn't?", she replied laughing bitterly. I heard a sharp slap as one of the ladies attacked her and push her over. I ran to her and grew angry at the ladies.

"It seems…my ladies…YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MANNERS", I roared furiously. The women trembled in shock and grew afraid.

"My P-prince…I can e-expla-"

"REMOVE YOURSELVES FROM MY SIGHT, YOU DETESTABLE WOMAN. A DISGRACE TO YOUR HOUSEHOLD", I shouted at them as they flinched in fear before scurrying away. I took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself and looked down at Yukina kneeling on the ground.

"Why aren't you getting up?", I asked exasperated. She began to feel the floor and panic. Her facial expression in alarm and she patted the floor.

"M-my ring…it's my mother's ring! I can't lose it", she whispered close to tears. I stared at her. the ring just in front of her hands.

She's…blind?

Please review. I would love to hear your opinions about this story and it helps to increase my motivation to write more.
