In a room,a man was facing a full body length mirror. His two arms were in a sideward position.
There were two maids who were helping him to dress himself, as a Prince this was a normal treatment to have but for him this was his first time.
The maid on his left side was blushing while straightening the Prince's collar,she also tidied up the Prince's clothes while the maid on the right side was busy putting jewelry on his clothes.
A brooch on his collar and the cufflinks on the edge of his suit.
A minute later,the two maids left the room after finishing to dress up the prince.
The man looked at the mirror,his expression cold.
His father was not good at him at all but in order to not ruin his face and reputation to people,he prepared a welcome banquet for his own son.
Many thoughts flashed in his mind but he stopped when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Under the called voice the old man who was knocking at the door opened it. He quickly steps inside and closes the door with his back.
He slightly bowed and said.
"The banquet will start after 30 minutes, hoping his Highness to prepare himself to go out."
This old man was new,the Prince's old butler,he fired it and has been replaced by a person who he knew was impossible to betray him after all he long knew that his old butler was his father's person.
He doesn't trust anyone who was involved with his father.
"Hmm"
His palace was only a minute away towards the Emperor's palace where the banquet would happen.
It wasn't required for him to come earlier but he was the main character of the party so it wouldn't be good if he was late.
Under the time he was casually walking towards the carriage that was waiting outside for him to ride.
The butler opened the door for him,he then went inside and sat on a soft cushion chair.
Just by feeling it you could know that it was made in a high quality.
The butler then closed the door and positioned himself as a coachman,he then flicked the whip he was holding as the two horses started to run.
The Prince leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest. He was kinda tired these past few days,following someone here and there and also helping him do his job.
At first he was interested in the youth who dared to ask him to carry something but as the days he spent with the youth he discovered that he wanted to talk to him more and more.
Right now he wants to go find him and just talk about something instead of wasting his time at the banquet. He wasn't interested in it in the first place but he had no choice but to go.
The carriage stopped and the butler who acted as a coachman went down and opened the carriage door.
The Prince stepped outside the carriage which made the early people who were invited to the banquet look.
They couldn't help but gasp. The Prince was tall and had a slender figure. His clothes highlight his body's physique. Even though he was he was treated as trash and rumors say he was a ruthless man most of the women couldn't help but dream to be his wife.
After all he was the solo son,the only Prince and without having a competitor by his side no matter what happens he would become the Emperor.
Thinking of this, those women stepped and went to the Prince who was now walking towards the two open doors.
"Your Highness!"
One of the girls called out but the Prince didn't look at her and turned a deaf ear at her call which made her face flushed in embarrassment and the other women who saw this sneered at their hearts.
Trying to catch his attention?Dream on!His Highness like beautiful ones and you weren't beautiful at all!
The Prince had a cold attitude and always exuded an aura that wouldn't want you to get close unless you want to die.
This was a battle of courage for them,if they manage to catch the Prince's attention at this banquet then it's a win-win.
The Prince was handsome,rich and would become the future ruler,if they became his wife then no one could offend them!
And that cold attitude and you were the only one he would treat gently if he ever fell in love with you.
The Prince who was being fantasized by many reached inside and went towards the upside floor to sit down on the chair prepared for him.
Many nobles went and greeted him and he just always let out a 'hmm' to greet them back.
His chin being supported by his palm as he lazily let his gaze around.
Women who were passed by the gaze tried to get his attention but were not successful thus they could only come up with another plan.
Minutes had passed and all of the nobles that were invited were all now inside the hall,most of the noble family were with their own daughter. This was a chance to show off and there's a big 'what if' on their mind such as what if the Prince saw my daughter and liked her at first sight?
Their thoughts were forced to stop when they heard a royal guard shout.
"HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR!"
All gazes locked at the big door that had been opened by the other guards.
The Emperor was also wearing clothes with red and gold color and he also had a coat to represent his status.
When the Prince saw him he couldn't help but smirk,sure enough even though it was a party for him he wasn't the main character. So....what is he doing here for?
