Evening arrived and one by one, guests started to fill the illuminated palace in their own way.
Few went to start the dance on the upper floor and few stayed in the cocktail area.
And in all this, the Queen and the Prince, in their splendid costume stood not far from the entrance to welcome the guests.
"I remember your father's coronation" Queen started with a dashing smile, facing her son "at the Christmas eve Ball too!" putting her hand on his cheek "You are as handsome as he was." she finished.
"If only I could stand half as tall as him." he said remembering his father.
Taking back her hand "Oh! You will son!" with still smile on her lips "Just takes a little time!"
"Good evening, Your Majesty! Your Royal Highness!" the Prime minister wished as he entered the space.
Taking Queen's hand, he kissed it in a royal way when Prince with a smile said "Prime Minister, I look forward to work with you!"
Shaking hand with the Prince "And I with you!" as Queen looked at them with happiness filled eyes.
And same with Pakhi "You Royal Highness!" as she did the hand shake.
In no time, people started to murmur and one by one, they looked towards the stairs to see the elegant lady in a light blue gown, coming down as an angel with simply being herself.
Prince who turned on his left, looked at her and got mesmerized in her beauty which can't be described with words.
"She looks beautiful!"
"She is ravishing!" and many more comments came from guests, and in between these crowd, stood Sultan and Deepali who looked at each other with a smirk adorning their lips.
Lifting her gown a little, she slowly made her way towards the Royal family as she lifted her gown a little bit more showing the sneaker to the Princess as she smiled at the little girl who was chuckling in return before lifting her head up to face the Prince who was standing by his sister.
Seeing all eyes on her, feeling self-conscious, her steps slowed down with a questioning look.
"She cleans up nicely!" Sultan said to his companion.
"Lipstick on a pig as the saying goes!" Deepali in hate in words and eyes.
Getting on the last step, she smiled at Pakhi who discretely pulled her brother's hand "What are you waiting for?" she asked and he in reply just smiled at his sister before he walked towards the elegant lady in blue, who was gaining all the attentions.
And she who was still a few feet away from them, looked at him with questions in her eyes before she looked around once again.
"Why are they staring?" she asked as he neared her.
"Cause you look perfect!" he replied, making her shy as he cheeks turned red.
"You don't look too shabby yourself, Prince Rishab!" she complimented him with a smile "Or should I call you King Rishab now?" she questioned.
"You know what I think about titles!" he said simply. Showing the stairs with his eye, he asked "Shall we?"
She not getting what he is asking, looked at him with big eyes which widened even more as he stepped closer to her.
