The ballroom had people enjoying themselves, while stood Annabelle nervously tapping her feet on the marble floor, She gazed around the room and witnessed many hostile gazes. The uneasiness grew in her heart and she rubbed her arms as they were almost cold. Her eyes constantly looked at the main door hoping Syrus would walk in to save her. 

The heavy doors got pushed open and for some reason, Anna felt the fresh air enter her chest. The corner of her lip lifted. A man in a uniform announced loudly. "Your Majesty, The King is entering!" The voice was loud enough to shake the delicate glasses on the table. The ballroom went silent and all eyes got fixed on the door. 

With a steady stride, the King made an entry, He looked stunning, despite the long tiresome years of ruling. The announcer spoke once again and this time it was to announce the entry of the queen.
