23 Starry starry night

The dance began several minutes after the dinner's last course. I ordered Alexei's nurse to take him back to our quarter/ room and I sipped a glass of wine.

Karl: Forgive me if I sound impulsive but the men are looking at you in an impure way. Please, allow me cover you with my tuxedo.

Me: I'm deeply touched by your concern but I'm a woman of right age and I have the right to decide for myself.

I left the bar and went to the huge window to watch the stars.. It was a beautiful night. The sky was full of stars.. I remember in the past, my sisters and I used to stare at our room's balcony and stare at the moon.

Karl followed me and covered me with his tuxedo. I got annoyed and pushed him away. He grabbed me and we went outside. I tried to alert my guards but once again, they were nowhere to be found.

Karl dragged me to an empty corner. I tried to fight back and asked for help but the dancing has already taken place and there were too much noise so no one heard me screaming..
