Chapter 54: The crown Prince arrives

"Now, allow me to introduce to you, my son, the crown Prince of our great kingdom! Prince Hamon!" Announced the king as the door opened.

The moment the king’s words ended. Hamon strode steadily inside the ballroom, his strides long and elegant, he wore a purple tailcoat that sat perfectly against his sculpted body, with his sliver hair let down his shoulders smoothly, red orbs staring straight ahead glimmering like blazing flames, a perfectly straight nose with mindblowingly seductive lips, a sharp oval jaw that could cut through glass, and the manliest broad figure any woman had ever seen. He walked straight to the king then took his seat beside his father.

All the people in the ballroom stopped breathing, as the hall turned silent, so silent, that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard. Even Ara was stunned by his appearance, she knew Hamon was handsome from the moment they had met, but tonight he seemed to overwhelm the entire ballroom with his looks.

As everyone fell silent at the sight of the handsome man, who they had thought was an ugly monster. Nobody could say a single word. His red eyes showed no signs of apprehension despite the attention of the guests on him. His expressionless face and proud arrogance, only further served to stir the hearts of women in the ballroom.

The crowds even forgot to address his presence, as they all were at loss for words. They soon got back to their senses, the numerous guest spoke up in a booming unison,

"Hail the crown Prince!"

The king looked proudly at his son, then turned to address the people again,

"Everyone, enjoy the ball!"

The music and murmurs of conversation resumed all around the humongous ballroom.

"Am I dreaming? Or is everyone else seeing the same man am seeing?"

"I never knew he would be this handsome!"

"He looks nothing like the rumors said!"

"Oh dear, this is clearly an angel, not a monster!"

"People must have been blind to call such a handsome man ugly!"

"Oh Lord! He’s too handsome!" Exclaimed Catherine.

Claire stood frozen on the same spot, her eyes not once leaving the platform, and particularly fixed on Hamon. She had never seen any man as handsome as the crown Prince, and people had spread such false rumors that his looks could be compared to that of an ugly monster! not even Alexander could compare to the Prince. Since this was the case, why should she be wasting her time trying to get Alexander, according to looks, he could only rank second when compared to the crown Prince, How could a beauty like herself settle for second place, the crown Prince’s looks were breathtaking, only someone like that could be worthy of someone like her.

The heavens had planned for her to meet the crown Prince on this night, it was going to be perfect and the most romantic first meeting ever, the whole kingdom would be talking about it, the crown Prince, had fallen in love with the prettiest maiden in findara whom he met at the grand ball, the concept was just so pleasing to Claire, she’d always dreamt about something like this, she was going to have her first dance with him instead of Alexander, she wouldn’t waste this golden opportunity given to her from the heavens! Anyway it was meant to be, since she was beautiful she only deserved a handsome man by her side.

With the thought in mind, Claire’s mood quickly brightened up again,

’The heavens really love me to give me such handsome man as my future husband! I wouldn’t waste this beautiful chance!’

Ara caught sight of the king introducing the crown Prince to the higher ranked elites. Hamon seemed a little different when viewed at a distance. Ara soon heard some women talking about Hamon from behind her, she listened to them carefully.

"I neve knew the crown Prince would be this handsome and charming."

"I know, I could have sworn he was ugly by the rumors I’ve heard!"

"But. even if he’s handsome, don’t forget about the curse placed on him by his witch of a mother. his first wife would die a miserable death!"

"I know, that’s why I’ll be his second wife, pig head!"

All the young women clamored together to babble over Hamon. Ara could not help but feel a little strange about how everyone’s eyes was on him, it wasn’t just the other women, even Anne had a dazed expression on her face as well,

"Wow! The crown Prince is really handsome, just like a fairytale Prince!" Exclaimed Anne.

Ara nodded stiffly at her sister’s admiring words. Hamon had turned famous amongst the women over night. But aside from that, Ara was quite relieved that he showed up at the ball. In her previous life, he didn’t show up when the king announced his presence, she remembered her sister’s disappointment, Now however, Hamon was here and had the attention of all the guests, she felt a little hopeful about the future.

Alexander who was nearby approached Ara again, "Shall we? I wouldn’t want to miss the chance to dance with the most beautiful lady at the ball..." He teased before he continued to say, "I can see how all the gentlemen are waiting to ask you for a dance, I’d like to go first if you don’t mind?" He asked politely.

Heck! She almost forgot about Alexander. Building personal connection with Alex would help her a lot in the future, but she couldn’t go with him to the dance floor when Hamon was already here, she knew Alexander had no bad intentions, but it would be uncomfortable dancing with him.

’How will I reject his offer to dance without being rude?’

Ara was about to talk, but stopped when she noticed how everyone around them went silent. She saw Anne’s eyes widened in surprise, everyone’s eyes turned to her with a stunned expression, even Alexander had his eyes fixed on something behind her.

She was about to ask what was happening, when all of a sudden everyone bowed in unison,

"Your Highness!"

Ara quickly turned around and saw Hamon standing tall behind her with a slightly displeased expression. Her mouth fell open in surprise. How did he get here quickly?
