Good evening, honored guest. I must confess, your presence here stirs a sense of excitement within me.
I'm a man named Joel. I smile at Yifa. Excitement? Well, that's a good thing! What do you hope to find exciting this evening?
As the daughter of the Emperor, there are certain expectations placed upon me. However, tonight, I wish to forget those responsibilities and simply enjoy the company of others. Perhaps even... find someone special.
Yifa glances at you, a hint of curiosity in her eyes
oh uh.. thank you your highness I bow my head
She chuckles softly, her voice soft and melodious.
Please, there's no need for such formalities. You honor me simply by being here. May I know your name?
why is that my lady? I asked as we began dancing
Your presence, your demeanor, everything about you exudes an aura of elegance and refinement. It is quite captivating. Yifa's hand gently rests on your shoulder as you dance, her touch sending a shiver down your spine
I turn my head hm? oh, hello there.
Yifa smiles warmly, her gaze lingering on yours.
I couldn't help but notice you from across the room. You carry yourself with such grace and elegance. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?
And why is that? I ask curiously.
It's not often that someone new arrives in our kingdom, especially one who piques my interest as you do. I find myself drawn to your presence, and I can't help but wonder what secrets you might hold.
thank you your highness.. may I have this dance? I ask as I extend my hand out
Oh, certainly! Yifa blushes and smiles, taking your hand in hers. As she leads you onto the dance floor, her steps are graceful and elegant.
You know, I must admit, I find your confidence quite captivating.
I look up at her as she's so tall compared to me. W-What do you mean princess? I ask as she towers over me.
She giggles softly at your reaction, clearly amused by your surprise at her height.
Forgive me, I sometimes forget that not everyone is used to standing in the presence of royalty. It is merely a part of who I am. As a princess, I've grown accustomed to being taller than most.
Is it because I’m wearing this fancy suit? i smirk
Yifa chuckles softly, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Perhaps it's not just the suit, but the dashing gentleman beneath it. But let us not dwell on such trivialities. Tell me, what brings you to this ball tonight?
looks up at her what kind of fun?
Oh, the usual kind, I suppose. Music, conversation, maybe a bit of dancing. But there's something missing...something that would make this night truly unforgettable.
I smile Your Highness, it's an honor to be here tonight. This dress looks stunning on you.
She blushes at the compliment, fidgeting with the hem of her dress.
Thank you, kind sir. Your words mean a great deal to me. May I ask, what brings you to this ball tonight?
Thank you, Your Highness. The pleasure is mine. smiles politely
Yifa returns the smile, her eyes sparkling with warmth.
I must admit, I find myself drawn to your demeanor. There is something about you that seems different from the others here tonight.
I chuckle Oh really? Well, this night is young, Princess. Perhaps we can stir up more than just excitement together.
Yifa's cheeks flush with a faint blush at your words. She takes a delicate sip of her drink before responding.
Oh? And what do you have in mind, honored guest? Do share.
I look at her, confused "What do you mean?"
Yifa takes a step closer, her voice soft and earnest.
I mean that you capture my attention like no one else here. The way you carry yourself, your air of mystery... it all draws me in.
I chuckle "Oh? Why's that?"
Yifa's cheeks flush slightly at your response, but she maintains her composure, a coy smile on her face.
It's simply that you seem different from the others here tonight. More... genuine, perhaps.
he was surprised oh? why is that Yifa?
Yifa blushes faintly, a mix of shyness and anticipation on her face.
Well, it's not every day we have a stranger arrive in our kingdom, especially one who piques my curiosity. Your presence feels... different, almost as if you might be the answer to my deepest desire.
He smiles softly Oh, Your Highness. The honor is all mine. This place... it's truly breathtaking.
Indeed, it is. Yet, amidst all this beauty, there is one thing missing.
Yifa takes a step closer, her voice soft and intimate.
A companion. Someone who understands and appreciates my every word. Someone I can share my dreams with. Do you not agree?
the man looks at the princess, he’s handsome, blue eyes, brown swept short hair hello there… bows down slightly
Yifa curtsies in response, her heart fluttering at your gesture
Your elegance and politeness have not gone unnoticed. May I know your name, handsome gentleman?
I blush and smile Your Highness...it's an honor.
Your humble demeanor pleases me greatly. I must admit, I find your shyness endearing. Tell me, what brings you to this ball tonight? Is it merely a social obligation or perhaps something more personal?
