Costume Ball
Next Day- Prince Dan's POV
I had just finished putting on my costume for the ball later on today. I was going to go dressed as a Knight in Shining Armor for my beautiful princess Runo. I had sent a dress of light blue silk with light pink roses sewn on it to Runo for her to consider wearing to the ball earlier today. General Shun was going dressed as a ninja because his history to them and Lady Alice was going dressed as an orange cat with matching ears and everything. We had finished getting ready and went to wait for the ladies and guests to finish getting ready for the ball.
A few Hours Later
I was standing outside Runo's suite waiting for her to finish getting dressed and come out for the ball.
"I do not think that I should wear this dress, Dan." She told me through the door and I knew that she was doubting her own beauty so I had opened the door and look her up and down in the dress thinking she was studding in the dress and other parts, but she was missing a necklace to complete the outfit.
"You look wonderful, Runo. You just need a necklace to complete the outfit, my dear." I told her and pulled out the necklace that I had choose to give her for her birthday, which her was today.
"Thank you, Dan." She tells me and I hold out my arm for her take to walk to the ballroom. We entered the ballroom and everyone stopped to stare at us in our costumes. I had spotted my friend Prince Billy of WishSong and his bride-to-be Princess Julie of Everlone standing near the food tables. I had Runo follow me to where they were standing so I could introduce her to them.
"Good Day, Prince Billy and Princess Julie." I say to them calmly and coolly. I get a hug (from Julie) and handshake (from Billy) when they noticed me.
"Good to see you again, Dan. Who is your friend?" Billy tells me and Julie just nods with his statement.
"I would like to introduce you to Princess Runo of Soft Rose. I could be marrying her, Billy." I tell them calmly and sweetly. I looked her with amazement in my eyes because she could do no wrong in my eyes.
"It is an honor to meet you, my lady." Billy tells her and she blushes at his words.
"No, the honor is mine because I get to meet a friend of Dan's earlier years, my lord." She tells him and bows to him from the waist.
"Thank you, my lady." Billy tells her and bows before her. Julie clears her throat to speak to Runo.
"It is nice to see you again, Runo." Julie tells her with a smile on her face. I was shocked to see that they knew each other already before today.
"Yes, it is good see you again too, Jules." She tells her with a smile on her face. Billy and I decide to let them talk to each other for a while so we walk up to the high board to sit and relax for a little while.
"You really like the Princess Runo, don't you, Dan?" He asked me in a polite voice.
"Yes, I really do like her, Billy." I told him calmly and coolly.
"I knew that you liked her by the way you looked at her earlier." He told me calmly and coolly. "I feel the same way about Julie. She is perfect to me, Dan." He said to me with a smile and I cannot help but smile back at him.
I had decided to dance with Runo to see if she could dance well and she outshined me with her skills in dancing like a little bird. "You were wonderful, Runo" I tell her as we are saying good night to each other.
"Thank you for the complement, Dan." She tells me sweetly as I tuck her into bed for the night. Lady Alice had not come back from her walk with Shun so I offered to do her job.
