She was in the mansion, but instead of a servant she was rich. It was the annual Christmas party, and she wore a very expensive dress that looked like it had been made especially for her.
She mingled with the other patrons, and laughed with her best friend. They'd lived together so long they considered each other as a sister.
And then she met the stare of the prince. He had been fussed over the entire night, and finally snuck out to the gardens to hide from everyone, including the hordes of girls chasing after him.
But this girl seemed different. He walked to her.
"Good evening, my lady." He said, kissing her hand like all gentlemen do.
"Good evening my lord. What brings you out here?" She asked. Besides good looks, he wore a nice cologne that suited him. The scent was literally driving her nuts.
"Actually, I'm hiding. So if you could be a really nice lady and not tell the other she devils where I am then I would owe you my life."
She laughed, throwing her head back and everything. Never had she heard her other cousins or friends be called "she devils" by anyone, especially the prince.
He loved the sound of her laugh. It was so genuine, and carefree. Not like the twitters of the ladies he'd been hearing ever since he was pronounced the heir to the throne.
After the party, they began seeing each other more frequently. Their relationship went from friendship, to somewhat courting, and finally one day they decided they'd take the leap and go out on a real date.
The castle was all set up for the prince's night of romancing. There was a live band, a candlelit dinner, and roses strewn everywhere. Unlike other dates he'd been on, this one wasn't aimed at getting the girl in his sheets.
She arrived, and took his breath away.
They had a wonderful time, and at the end of the night while gazing at the stars they shared their first kiss.
About a month later, they were married.
The wedding was the talk of the country, but it was a private ceremony only the relatives and a few close friends got to see.
When they exchanged vows, and then rings, they cried with happiness.
Their rings had been specially made, both engraved in elfish and declaring their love for each other. They were also magic rings, and would only fit two people who loved each other unselfishly.
One read "For Eternity, my love." and the other read "Till the end of time, my heart."
And then, when the two lovers had died and reunited in the stars, the rings were lost.
Only to be found by a girl who knew nothing of who she truly was.
And a boy who subconsciously longed for a woman that could match his passion for life.
