My dress was one to be very jealous about. Not only did it match my style it was the dress I've always dreamt myself in. Who would've thought my father had good taste in picking cloth for my dress. Sometimes it's a little sad how he didn't have anyone to share his successes and failures to.

My dress was midnight blue, with a very flattering v-cut in front and open back that went straight the my bottom. It was long but at the same time, short and had a silky feel to the touch. The shoes were a modest height, even though it won't matter seeing as the prince is of high height. My hair was beautifully made in mess of curls held by a brooch that had been my Grandmother Marie's. Its diamonds were a surprising color, a golden tint and alternated with onyx crystals. I wore very little make up but my perfume made the outfit and it was even better because it was made by my mother, who was known for making wonderful perfumes. All in all, my dress was something out of a book, well my designs book but none the less better than what they had nowadays in Paris. No aristocrat in the world will ever compare to my night to get Edward back at his game.

Once I was done, Angela came over to show me her attire. It was a shame she head over heals for Ben, for she would've been chosen as a wife, no question about that.

"Oh, Bella you look rather dashing. I sure have no doubt that dreadful Edward will be weak in the knees after he sees you. Shame on you for making yourself so irresistible."

"Why Angela, why would you think such a horrid thing from me. All I'm trying to do here is make my parents proud." I gave her a slight wink and she giggled under her breathe.
"Oh Isabella, you look so beautiful honey. See this wasn't a bad idea honey," my mother said with watery eyes and a huge smile on her face.

"No mom, this wasn't a bad idea." I said quietly. I stared at my reflection at the window in my room. I was beautiful but I was scared of what was going to happen tonight. Not only am I making him regret the day he upset me, if I get chosen tonight, my life will change forever and I do not know if this change will be or bad. So I stared ahead, I pushed my fear aside and promised myself I will succeed tonight. To the victor go the spoils, as they say.

"It's time to go honey; here comes the chance of a lifetime, Bella. Make us proud." My mother said as she pulled me out of my room, down the stairs and into the coach that took me to my fate.

The ball was tonight and my plan felt a little absurd to me now that I thought it over. It seemed childish to me and the more I thought about it the more upset I got. I was not going to waste my chance to have a much more beautiful woman to be my wife. No, I will not waste this night at all. I will make the fullest and pick a much more beautiful woman that's not Isabella Marie Swan. But I can not help how I feel about her. How her beauty makes me forget my name, let alone why we're in the same room. I going to have to admit, I am completely head over heels for her but that's only when she doesn't upset me, which is pretty rare and so far all her beauty can not make up her disrespecting me in front of my brother. I do not care how gorgeous she is, she will pay. I think I just convinced myself to go though with my plan of getting back her little game to be disrespectful to people.

"Ah, Edward, I'm glad I caught you before the chaos of thousands of girls begging you to pick them as wives. I do not know what father was thinking when he thought a ball would get you a wife. This is going to change all our lives and I was wondering if you are ready for this job tonight. Well what I'm asking is, are you ready for the change of your lifetime," my sister Alice asked with concern in her eyes. Not that it mattered seeing as I have no say into what will happen to my life besides picking my future wife.

"Yes, I am going to be fine tonight. But I will ask you a favor tonight. If you can, make sure the chief's daughter sits near me at the royal table. I plan to make this a night to remember for her. Also make sure Tanya stays as far as possible and she is not to talk to me of anyone at the table until the royal dances start. Can you do that for me?"

"Of course, but I'm merely curious as to why would you want to sit near the chief's daughter? She's a peasant and you know is off limits because of her father's proximity to us. What are to planning to do with her, Edward?"

"You just worry about what I asked you and nothing else. Got that?" I said a little to loudly and with a lot of venom in between.

"Do not yell at me like I'm one of your maids, Edward. Do not forget that I could hurt you if I have too." I turned slightly to her direction and saw that she was not lying. I know Alice will enough to say that for someone so small, she can be quite scary. "Now Eddie, please tell me what your up too?" She gave me unwavering eyes which I knew I confess a crime to, those bloody puppy dog eyes. I swear females need to find useful ways to get on with their lives besides bewitching their male counterparts.

"Alice, do not give me those bloody eyes. You know quite well, when I look into those I lose my will power and I already have enough with Emmett, I do not need it from you."

"I will stop if you tell me what you are planning to do with the chief's daughter."

"Very well, I plan to make her my wife. Satisfied?" I hear a small gasp, and well it only came from one person so I looked at Alice again and saw fear in her eyes.

"Edward you know very, very well you can not do that. She IS off limits, Edward. You have to choose someone who does not have a trace into this castle. What will Carlisle think when you choose her, knowing full well about your encounter with her already. We do not need the gossip anymore and you are just going to add to the great rumor of us not being normal by bringing a human into in house and never leaving here. I love you greatly but you will ruin us and I will not have this going on."

"Alice, you do not get it, she's different than the other girls I've met. She has something no one else has. I do not know how to explain it but there is something about her that makes me want to pick her even though it's wrong. She's the forbidden apple that I want to have but am afraid to get scolded for choosing it."

"Are you sure, Edward? I'm only telling the dangers ahead if you go though with this. I'm looking out for you as your beloved sister. I do not want to see you harmed in any way."

"Yes, I am quite sure of this."

"Very well, I will be right behind your decision, if Carlisle is to disagree with your decision. But I will say this, this is the first time I have ever seen you so sure in what you want. I'm proud of you for acting grown up and not having to ask for anyone's opinion."

"Thank you, Alice. You have no idea how that makes me feel better. And I am going to need your help tonight and I thank you for agreeing with this." I gave her my famous crooked smile, knowing that these real smiles will not be given to lightly in the months to come.

"Okay I will see you at the ball brother. Good luck. No matter what, I'm here for you." Alice returned a smile and with a last glance, left me to my thoughts.

After a while a maid came in and told me it was time to go the main room, for this dreaded ball was to start momentarily. I made my way downstairs and found my whole family there already waiting. Not only did Emmett have a huge grin on his face, he apparently had my other brother, jasper smiling hugely too.

"Gentlemen, what seems to be so funny?"

"Oh nothing Eddie, it's just that I can not wait until this peasant girl comes back and finishes the job to ridicule you to death. She was quite charming, after you got over the fact that she can man you feel quite useless, hmm." Emmett said with a big smirk on his face. "Jasper, I can not wait until you hear what she has to say about our dear brother here."

"Listen here, Emmett, I do not care how you will entertain yourself at my dispense but I will make sure you do not get away with it. I'm not in the mood to put up with your crap tonight. I will not tolerate it. I have better things on my mind to worry about you. You will show me respect as I will do so for you."

"Oh, well I see this whole ball deal has made you quite up tight. You need to get the broom out of your ass and grow up. I do not care how you are feeling but I will enjoy myself, seeing as I do have someone who loves my, not like you who still has to find 'that special someone'" Emmett quote-unquoted.

"You will pay for this sooner rather than later, got that."

"Looking forward to it dear brother."

"Boys, I will not have any conflict for tonight. Emmett, you are to be on your very best behavior, do you got that son?" My mother came to my rescue, like she's always have ever since I've known her.

"Mother, do I really need to do this."

"Edward you know why we're doing this. We need you to be a king for a while and people do not like it when their kings are not wed, so you have to choose a woman to have at your left side. You know we're at war with the wolves; we do not need to be at war with our own people. Think of our future as a kingdom; as a family." Esme looked straight into my eyes with all the confidence I mother has for their child to succeed.

"Very well, mother, I promise to make the right chose and make you proud." I look straight into her eyes and quickly at Alice's for she knew my true intentions for tonight.

"Edward you are going to have to pick someone like us. It can either be Kate or Tanya, nothing more nothing less." My father said, as he quietly walked into the room. He held all the confidence of an arrogant king but had the will power of a noble honest man. This is why he has been king for so long but other reason is is that he has lived for so long, he has never stepped down until now. This is our dreaded rumor, which with my engagement to someone outside this castle, will maybe become a myth and never be uttered in our kingdom anymore.

"Yes Father, but what if someone, who is not like myself, holds my attention? What am I to do about this?"

"Well, we shall see when the time comes for you to meet all the females in our kingdom, but for now, you will choose wither Kate or Tanya. You know I'm not doing this to hurt you, I'm doing this to help you, okay son?"
"Yes, father I know and I will obey, unless something comes about."

"Very well, are we ready to let in all these women?"

"Yes sir," said a chorus of my father's workers already waiting at the gates, which are ready to be opened.

"Very well, open them. Shall we take our seats my love?" he asked my mother who nodded and headed to her seat at the throne. The rest of my brothers and sisters made their way to their thrones beside my father except me.

"Edward, smile and praise every single woman that comes before you. I trust you to make the right decision, son." My fathers trust in me is incredible, I almost feel bad for backing out of this whole deal but then I remember that I have to meet hundreds of woman today.

"Yes, father."

What became over the course of several hours was pure torture on my part having to meet many of women to want to be my wife. Not only would they flaunt themselves to me, they expected me to respond like normal human males. Some were tall, short, either too skinny or very curvy, but most of all they were beautiful and the only person I wasted my time obsessing about was Bella. Oh God, why can I not think of something that will help me instead of hurt me? My butler, James, read off every single name to these girls, whom I saw, bowed to and took no more notice than necessary.

"Miss Elizabeth Jane Wharton, Daughter to Mr. and Mrs. John Wharton."

"Your grace," she said as she curtsied toward me. I returned it with a bow of my own. She was pretty but nothing held my interest to her beside her name. She walked off very confident in herself. Shame it was not working for her, seeing I had no real interest in her what so ever.

"Miss Julia Sandra Makepeace, Daughter to Mr. and Mrs. William Makepeace."

"Charmed," she said as she curtsied. Do you see a pattern, which I was to see for the rest of the night. How bored I got after a while. I need something to hold my attention for a bit longer.

"Miss Angela Weber, Daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Weber." Atlas, someone who knows the dreadful Bella. This girl was beautiful but the mire fact that she knows Bella made her very interesting in my book. Shame she already has someone to care for, for if Bella was not here, I would choose her without a doubt.

"Charmed," I said with my lop-sided smile on my face. She blushed immediately as she walked away.

"Miss Isabella Marie Swan, Daughter to the Chief, to the royal family, Mr. Charles Swan and Mr. and Mrs. Philip Dwyer." There she is, in her beauty. Dear God, what is she wearing. She's going to attract other people attention besides myself. What was she thinking when she decided to wear that.

"What the hell are you wearing," I loudly whispered as she curtsied and I bowed.

"Oh, it's so nice to see you again Edward. I see you clean up well. How are you? Oh this old thing, it's just something I came up with just for you my lord," her voice held nothing but pure mockery toward me. I rather disliked it, and this is why I really detest her in general.

"Move on, I do not need your sarcasm right at this moment. I need to be quite happy because there are hundreds of women here willing to give themselves to me and your just one less person I have to worry about."

"As you wish my lord," she walked away with a smile that made me very upset, so far I only see trouble for the night ahead.
