The day of the ball was a hectic day. The help was getting things organized and ready for that evening.

The masked ball was in full swing and everybody was having a good time.

The Prince was making small talk with all the guests but internally he was dying to see his wife since they hadn't seen each other in 24 hours. He knew she was arriving with his mother so it was going to be at any time.

He was talking with one of his friends when everyone got quiet and he noticed everyone looking towards the entrance. His heart started pounding against his chest, yes his mom looked beautiful but it was his wife who was leaving him breathless.

She was wearing a beautiful purple sparkling Cinderella dress with a butterfly mask. He noticed the big smile she sent him when she spotted him and he walked towards them. He gave his mom a kiss on the cheek and she walked away leaving the young couple alone.

"Rach you look stunning, beautiful, incredible… holy fuck," he whispered.

She chuckled at the way he was acting but caressed his cheek and leaned in to give him a peck on the lips. That wasn't enough for him, he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her against him and kissed her passionately while the guests smiled and nodded in approval.

Rachel pulled away first but her hands stayed on his biceps. "Try to control yourself," she smirked.

"Baby you don't know how beautiful you look. I bet all the men here are jealous because they don't have a hot wife like I do."

She smiled warmly. "And every women except your mother wishes their husband was half as handsome as you are."

He looked her up and down caressing her body. "You really look beautiful Rach."

"Thank you Noah."

"Would my wife care for a dance?"

"She would love to."

The couple made their way towards the dance floor where some people were dancing already and the young couple began to waltz. They looked at each other smiling as they danced around the dance floor while people stopped what they were doing to watch them.

After a couple of dances, the King and Queen walked towards the couple so they could switch. The Queen and the Prince danced while Rachel danced with the King.

She was having a great time.

"Have you and my son been having sexual relationships?"

Her smile almost faltered but of course she was a good actress and recovered rather quickly. "No my King. We haven't. We've only been doing what you have asked me to do."

"Very well. We don't want you breaking your contract. I do not want you to get attached to my son or have my son fall in love with you, although that wouldn't be a horrible thing with his situation, but you will be gone soon and he will be King and rule this country. He can't and will not be distracted from his duty."

"I know my King."

"I hope you do because you are a wonderful woman but you are no match for my son. One day he will find a true Queen to stand by his side and rule our country."

She couldn't believe they were having this conversation right there on the dance floor. She smiled at him and cleared her throat. "Yes of course my King. Excuse me please." She said as she walked away and out of the ballroom.

The Prince noticed what happened and walked towards his father with his mother next to him. "What did you say to her?" The King was about to answer but the Prince interrupted him. "Never mind" The Prince walked outside to the garden where he knew she would be.

,,,,,,,,,,

She was looking straight ahead with her arms crossed while she just kept replaying the conversation in her mind. He was right. She wasn't brought up in this world and certainly didn't have any business being a princess or future queen. This was all just a long role in her career as an actress. She hoped once she had the money and pay off her debts she could finally move on with her life and do something else more meaningful then being an actor. She sighed but when she heard footsteps approach she tensed.

"Rach are you okay? What did he say?"

She turned around and smiled at him. "It was nothing Noah, I'm just being silly."

He knew she wasn't telling him the truth but he wasn't going to push either.

At least not yet.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Then can we go back so I can show you off some more?"

She laughed and nodded. "Yes"

The rest of the night Rachel and the Prince walked around the room making small talk with the guests but Rachel was aware of the King. Of course that didn't go unnoticed by the Queen and the Prince. Finally it was time to go and Rachel wanted to run out of there but obviously she couldn't. The Prince could sense she wanted to leave so they said goodbye to his parents and then got into their car.

,,,,,,,,,,

The both of them were seating close in the car while she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Baby are you going to tell me what my father said that upset you so much?"

She sighed. "Its nothing."

"Rach..."

"Please drop it. I don't want to talk about it."

He sighed but didn't insist anymore. He was definitely going to have a chat with his father after the King came back from business in a month.

When the Prince and Rachel arrived at the palace, the Prince thanked the driver, which Rachel smiled proudly. It took a while but the Prince was polite to the help all the time now thanks to her.

,,,,,,,,,,

They walked in and were going to their separate rooms, when Rachel spoke. "Noah?"

He turned around and walked towards her. "What?"

"Um I know we have a rule and what not but um can you stay with me tonight? I don't want to be alone."

He smiled at her and gave her a peck on the lips. "Come on," he held her hand and both walked to her room. "I'll just have to sneak out before the help wakes up." He said knowing that even though he was nice to the help now, they still worked for the King and were obligated to inform him of anything that went on in the palace between them that should not be happening. He was so thankful they didn't get caught when they were at the pool cause that would have been an interesting conversation with his parents.

,,,,,,,,,,

He helped her unzip the dress and he groaned seeing the lingerie that barely left anything to his imagination.

"Damn it Rach. You want to kill me don't you?"

She shook her head smiling as she walked with her dress to hang it on the walking closet. He watched her and she didn't even try to be sexy but to him she was.

He had to adjust his tight pants and she definitely noticed. She walked back into the room and stopped a foot away from him.

"Why did you sign the contract?" he asked. He always asked but she didn't have to answer him. He understood but that didn't mean he liked it. She was standing in front of him in almost nothing and he had to behave himself. Maybe not behave 100% cause he was definitely touching her but at least behave enough that they wouldn't go all the way.
