"I want you to come here," he said, standing by the wall covered by heavy curtains. 

She hesitantly walked over towards the prince. As she approached, she began to notice noise from beyond the curtain. It was the sound of a crowd's applause, followed by the sound of a man speaking. 

Seeing her dragging her feet, Arlan frowned. He strode towards her and grabbed her hand. "You are going to make us miss it with this snail-like pace of yours."

His impatience stoked her curiosity. Without her realizing it, he had walked her to the other side of the heavy curtains and the sight that welcomed her the next moment astonished her.
