Fuck! He has arrived. I tried finding my best friend, Camilla and Sidney. Where are you? In fear of it all crashing down on me. My hand holding a glass was shaking. I set it down. My blood started rushing. I could feel my panic rising. I made my way to the refreshment area and asked the bartender for a strong drink. "Your highness, I can not comply, for I am under strict order." Fuck him! "You are in my homeland and you dare let me down." I said, anger was evident in my tone. He gave the man sitting next to me a drink.

I took that drink and drank without breathing. I let the empty glass down on the table with a click. "You were clearly in need of it than me." He said and gestured for him to make two glasses. "Thank you, I am a little anxious right now." "understandable!" I looked him up and down. Why I have never seen him anywhere before? Could it be he was new addition to the society? Oh! You have much more problems to think of than about the handsome man next to you.

As the bartender set the glass down for me, I held it in hand and gestured to him with it, almost in a cheer. "Let your worries be carried away." With that he clicked his own glass with mine. I started drinking and scanning the room. My eyes landed on Camilla, she was looking at a man, who was dancing on a floor. Without a second glance I dumped the glass contents in a go and left it on the table and made my way forward to her.

When I reached her I asked, "What are you doing? What about our plan? Where is Sidney?" I asked, breathless. Camilla spotted Sidney and waved for her to come at once. When she reached she said, "Hello! Why do you look so pale?" Sidney asked me. "Because mother informed me that he is here. Is everything going accordingly? I might have to speed it all up." I said. They both nodded and gave me the spare key which I handed them, just in case, I lost mine. Fuck! I almost forgot about two rooms. Do I even remember which room they were? Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

I made my way upstairs, to change into my night dress. The one which would be perfect for seduction. I emptied my pockets. Oh hell no! I had three keys in my pocket and now, with two given by them. five. How will I be able to find the right room? Fuck! I should have done better than this. My hands were shaking and it was impossible to get the buttons from my dress off. I tried and with some effort it came off.

The night dress which I had selected was not a normal night dress. I had cut the bottom of it to make it small. A perfect dress for seducing a prince. I can not even think as to who they might have picked for me. Whoever he was, better be a good one and not too controlling.

Now that I was in the dress, I wore a long coat over it instead of a night dress coat. I could not let anyone see me in this unacceptable attire. I quickly pocketed the five different keys. Now the task was, which room was he in. I tried remembering the room keys I gave them. They were given the keys to the east wing of my palace. I made my way to the east wing. Now that I was in the east wing. The task was which room was he in. I jogged my memory and remembered something like the third and fourth room of this wing.

I made my way to the third room. Oh no! Now I have five keys. One of them must work. Oh god! Please make it quick. I took a key out and tried putting it in the keyhole. Fuck! Fuck! My hands were out of control. The anxiety had them shaking, making it harder for me to put the key in place. The drink I had did nothing to calm me down.

I tried keys one by one. But nothing worked. I now had just one key. Either I was trying to open the wrong door or I have accidentally left the key behind. Oh god help me! With one last prayer I twisted the key, and the lock turned. Oh thank heavens!

I slowly opened the door and saw a very broad man standing at the window. Gazing at the sky,his back facing me. So, he was here. To be compromised. I then slowly shut the door and made my way to the center of the room. Thankfully the lights were out. Only the moon's light was assisting me.

He turned. The light illuminated his features. Oh my god! He was utterly gorgeous. And he was the man from the bar. I just stood there gaping at him in awe. Forgetting my plan.
