Chapter Three: Marriage Ball

Darrin POV:

I arrived downstairs, and sat at the table. Mother and my Father, King Charmont, are eating peacefully. They nod their heads in greeting. My sister Princess Dina, smiles at me before turning back to her fiancé, Prince Gregory of Ayorthia. They are to be married in December. They'll have a ball in celebration. The ball is in a week. And, as Dina's brother, I have to go around telling everyone. I finished my meal and turned to leave. "Uh…Son?" My Father sounded…nervous? When was my strong, independent Father sound nervous? I turned back around. "Yes?" I replied. "At Dina's ball, you'll be expected to find a wife." Father said this very fast and I had the opinion he expected me to get mad. But I wasn't. Heck, I might even find a way to break my curse AND get a true love. "Ok father. I agree." I summoned a carriage, and went to Andrea's house.
