Hey back :) I said I would be fast, and since I had reviews which I'm happy about it, I'll just continue it makes me happy :DD!

It's funny how I was already awoken, I didn't really need my father to come and tell me once again how important it was this visit to the king which,I didn't know anymore if it was just a visit.

I had already packed my dresses and books, all gotten from the French court. Once again I had to impress the king and the rest of his court.

"Elena, are you already up?" My brother peeked through my room, and finding no answer he took a step in, closing the door behind him.

"I'm already up, already packed my things, and ready to go." I said looking through the window to the beautiful sight of my garden where Wolsey was running freely, like I used to just yesterday, now I felt like someone had stolen that from me. I had this bench near the window, it was actually attached to the wall so I could read my books and enjoy the sun by the morning, my arm was leaning on the railing and the left side of my face met my closed hands so I looked fairly bored and sad.

"Elena, it will be just fine, I believe you will enjoy immensely." My brother said approaching my seat to just look at me.

"Yes well, do I have other choice? If you excuse me brother, I would like to leave as soon as possible so I can come back as well as soon." I said it sounding bitter, but I didn't even care on the effect my tone could cause on him, he wasn't much of a help when I needed him to say "No" to our father.

"I see you are mad at me with no reason, though I have to point out the fact that we might not even come back, but you still can take Wolsey if you pleased." How dare him to say such thing, he knows that this is my home, and it will never change.

"I'm done." I left my seat and I went to leave my room as well, leaving my brother behind. "My bags are just right there." I pointed out to the corner of the room, making myself look sarcastic and a bit provocative.

After what it seemed a year we finally had arrived the English court, with no pleasure from my part though. My father explained me the whole way that I had to participate on this sort of dance to impress the king and how I should be pulling him towards me, or for other words, make him come and get me. I didn't thought that would be hard since we had learned how to be charming and charismatic on France.

"Finally dear brother, couldn't wait for all of you to come, especially you, beautiful Elena. I can't imagine how you've grown up." Uncle Alaric was always so sweet as much as he was cynic and hypocrite.

"Uncle Alaric." I bowed as a sign of respect. "If I may speak, I should say you could not notice how little I've grown up since you never come to visit our family." I said it sarcastically, with a tiny smile on my lips. As usual our uncle would always call us when he had something of his interests.

He cleared his throat clearly feeling uncomfortable. "I hope you do not answer the same way to the king your majesty." He said bitterly while I just made myself look genuinely innocent.

"Oh no, no uncle, I'll make sure to answer even worse." I smiled once again, but my father interrupted my glorious moment.

"Elena, behave! You'll do as I command and nothing else. Now go inside with your brother." I rolled my eyes to his statement and grabbed Jeremy's arm so he could escort me to my room.

"Yes father."

I looked back once again while walking, noticing my father gave money to my uncle, "business" I thought.

"Here, I hope it's enough for what you just did." John gave Alaric some money to guarantee Elena's presence on the ball.

"No need to worry brother, if Elena succeeds there will be much more from where this came from." Both smiled and went to different directions.

Indeed was the truth, I wasn't going to get servants to help me dressing, or to prepare me a bath but I couldn't care less. If I were to impress the king I had to do It by myself, we all had to go with masks so he wouldn't see my face but somehow I needed to stand out.

I chose to lose my curls from the ponytail and tie two strands of my front hair and put it behind, holding it with a beautiful diamond brooch which was white to match with my wonderful dress made in France, I only had wear it once on a ball in France as well, everyone seemed to like it a lot. The dress had a beautiful corset in red to my knees with a tiny split that could not be seen because it had an under layer in white, making it look like it was part of the same dress, which was not, it seemed an awkward dress at first sight but I would show them…It was not.

My make up was soft and simple though, my eyes were in tons of blue to make them stand out of the mask which it did only covered the upper part of my face, to my nose.

As soon as I was ready, my father called me to get to the ball and to my positions as well. Every woman started to laugh on me due to my dress, which was so different from theirs, though me and my father who had already seen the magic in this dress, we were pretty much confident.

We were all set in a line, only the girls, the men would be on the other line on our front.

"The king, your majesty, the king." Has soon has the music started to play the men got all in the dance space to join us, we couldn't even recognize the king. A man instantly took my hand, though it was not the kings, he was very gentle. I was amazed by the fact that he did not laugh on my dress like a lot of man did.

I was ready to show off my dress as soon as the tempo sped up. We were dancing in circles each couple, then we were supposed to change our partners and that would be my chance to shine.

The man in my front had raven hair and had some strands of hair on his face that made him look sexier, his eyes were amazingly blue, but that was all I could see behind the mask. I was about to be that mans partner and for some reason I was nervous.

Since the white part of my dress reached the floor I could easily step upon it, so it could slip out of my legs easily. When our partners turned us around so we could get into other arms, I stepped off my dress and the white part came out, leaving me with a tiny red dress that didn't even reach my knees. I could see everyone was looking at me and they look enchanted, I also listen to little murmurs. That was when I realized I was on the kings arms, he looked at me attentively with a little smirk on his face, and he turned me around a couple of times.

"Who are you?" I had my back against his chest and our arms were locked as one, it felt so overwhelming.

"Elena Gilbert." I said silently, but trying to look as seductive as I could.

"You did a quite of a show with your dress lady Elena." His lips were against my ears and I felt goose bumps all over my body.

"look at Elena, Jeremy I believe the king's already enchanted." John smiled proud of his idea to get Elena to be introduced in this way to the king.

"I believe so father." Jeremy answered smiling.

As the music died, I felt my heart beating once again, It's like all my hate and fears to come here had disappeared all in one. The man announced they would get off our masks, so we needed to get back to our first positions, the king looked disappointed to let me go now.

The man got behind me, and took of my mask at the same time they took his. We shared looks and that was it for me, total magic, it was like this connection between me and king was already there for such a long time.

His blue eyes shined so bright and looked amazing, he was amazing, I couldn't help to feel my skin burn to his looks and the way queen Katherine who stand there on her royal throne was looking at us, as if she knew something was already going on.

He was beautiful, she thought. She his beautiful, he thought.

So this is it, I hope you all had enjoyed this chapter and there's a lot more to come and it's goodies I promise, please review *-*
