With the party in full swing everyone was talking, laughing and socialising, except Lexia. Ever since she was little her father had kept her in the castle away from everyone outside, the only person she spoke with was Jessie and even then Lexia did not say much but when it came to other people she was silent and today when she went to the town centre she had not known what to do qith all of the people there.

"How am I to one day rule if I am unable to face people?" She quietly asked her self.

"Why not start by talking to someone you know?" Inquired a familiar voice.

Lexia looked and saw a boy with Purple hair, she quickly thought back to the boy who pulled her from the crowd, Rosad he had said his name was. Lexia was shocked that he was here and asked him how he was as only nobles could come to this ball. Rosad replied that he was a noble and a very important one at that. He was the prince of Farsania and was here as a diplomat from his kingdom. Lexia gullped this person knew she had been outside the castle and was spending time with her father.

"Don't worry my lady I will not mention your little excusrion around town, so long as you do one thing for me." He cheekily said. Lexia agreed and Rosad grabbed her hand and pulled her to the main floor where many people were dancing, Rosad placed his hands correctly for the dance and Lexia followed suit. They waltzed slowly from side to side avoiding the other dancers, Lexia noticed that they were a good distance so began talking.

"I did not know you were a prince when we first met."

"Not a big deal, after all I was hiding my identity."

"Also how long have you known that I was the girl you saved from the crowd?"
She asked.

Rosad smile and said that he had seen part of her face at the town and upon seeing her here dressed more appropriately for her rank he cocnluded that the girl he met and Landor's princess were the same person. Lexia sighed and said that she was sure no one would spend time figureing that out. Rosad laughed to himself and told her that her disguise was rather good but the material was too exspensive for a normal citizen to afford and keep so clean.

Lexia and Rosad danced the next few songs and then began wandering the castle.

The flower meets the first other it has even spoken with this much and this openly, now with another by its' side the flower hsall be able to bloom and expand but for how long and at what cost?

Lexia and Rosad walked the hallways in silence, it appeared that Rosad had realised how Lexia was with people so would allow her to start any conversation. Their walk took them through most of the castle and up to the raised garden that Lexia had spent the morning on, she walked to the edge and leaned on the wall, Rosad stood beside her and did the same. A few more minutes passed until Lexia began speaking again, she asked Rosad why he was sneaking around the town in disguise as well. Rosad siad that he felt like looking around town without an escort of guards as h would be treated as only a noble and not a normal person. Lexia agreed that normal citizens treat nobles and heirs to kingdoms very well they offer them anything they want either cheaply or for free. Although today was the first day Lexia had actually left the castle alone. Rosad was taken aback by this slightly as he had snueaked out many times before and yet Lexia had only done so today, he thought for a moment before he had an idea, Rosad would ask the king if he could escort LExia around the town as seeing the princess would raise their spirits and would allow her to learn of people more. Lexia was skceptical but agreed anyway, anything to get away from her father and the servants.
