CHAPTER 13

The lady in black, ran away which gave me a bad feeling about it, I thought of chasing but I decided not to, the king then stood up from his sit and made a toast, the whole room became as quiet as a desert, everyone toasts to the new alliance of my handsome son Lexar and my soon to be daughter in law and the future queen of this kingdom, princess Adriana "king Noan, said with his glass held high".

Adriana had a bright smile on her cheeks, but Lexar stared with a clenched chin and was forcing himself to smile drastically, this gave me worries and another set of minds, I said to myself (is he getting married against his will).

A few minutes later the musicians changed the tune into a slow smooth ball song, and everyone offered their lady a dance, Adriana was expecting Lexar to offer her a dance but he just stared at everyone dancing, she then placed her hands on his, then nodded.

In other not to make her feel bad he offered her a dance, the moment they stepped onto the dance floor, everyone cleared the dance floor to take their sits and watched them dance.

They did the moonwalk dance move, Adrian place her hands around his neck, and made him place his hands around her waist, she twirled continuously leaving everyone in surprise after a while she became intoxicated and began to dance weirdly.

Everyone gasped deeply at the unusual behavior, she was out of control Lexar tried to hold her down but she realized herself from his grip, and squandered around the hall almost undressing, it was a huge disgrace to both the family of the bride and groom.

She was taken to the room by her mum with the help of me and Avian, queen Delila with tears rolling down her cheeks knelt on the ground what is the matter, my child, why this wildness all of the sudden?

Madam why are you kneeling who her you exactly, and who is your child "Adriana said gibberish "before falling to the ground, luckily, we grabbed her and laid her on the bed.

Adriana's breath smelt of alcohol which was strange to her mother, Adriana you drink this a mistake said queen Delila in disgust at her daughter's behavior.

A few hours later, Adriana gained back her consciousness and was looking absurd and clueless about what had happened, where are my and why is my dress thorn "she said facing her mother".

Mother, why are you staring at me this way, and is the party over why are you here and not in the hall with Lexar, mom why aren't you answering me?

What should I say, do you know what nuisance you've displaced not only did you bring shame to the family reputation, you've ruined your chance of getting married to the prince.

I was a few steps away from the room when I saw the lady in black walking away from the doorstep, I followed her snick only, for the all-black to notice my traces.

What! it is, I should have seen that coming.
