Chapter 112 - The Ball

My hint was right. Rose and her father were looking for means to corner Zenab but instead, the chopper turned around and left.

Zenab let out a deep breath when he realized they have left I suppose this is just the beginning whatever they are I hope they don't push through.

"Well now they are gone too bad I didn't get to bomb it," I let out a chuckle falling back in the chair as the three princes stare at me.

"Okay I'm out of here, looks like no one wants me here," I whimper heading to the door as their gaze fixed on me. Do they really wish I leave that badly? What are they up to? I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of leaving easily.

I turn shapely at the door gently closing the door back and face the three princes as they frown.

"Um, on the second thought I want to use the computer, don't worry you guys can stay just want to talk to my pals," I shrug walking to the computer, prince Assin was sitting behind the main computer he gently stands up and offer me the seat.

"Thank you," I whispered sitting behind the computer as Zenab and Prince Asher whispers among themselves.

"Oh well you guys could just speak up already and stop the whispering is there something I'm not supposed to hear?" I grumble focusing on the monitor it seems Roland is not online or near his computer I will just leave him a message. 

"Nothing for you to worry about, it's just guys talk," Zenab scoffs.

"You looked like a wrack a while ago now you keeping secrets, just bear in mind you need to find a permanent solution for Rose else you might end up in serious trouble," I pout still typing on the computer.

"Tell me about it, I have more problems every day, now I have to worry about tonight," Zenab mumbles looking not too excited, he was before why a sudden change I can't really keep up with my brother's mood swings or what goes on in that mind of his.

"What about tonight? You only get to drink and select women like picking a commodity in the market, what's more, you can even return the commodity if you don't like it how hard can that be?" I chuckle now turning to face them.

"Wow, you made it sound so easy. You should prepare to once I'm married the next person will be you once the people of Zamuniland gets their attention off me they will force grandma to make you get married to them you will see if it that simply picking up a commodity display," Zenab grins well he has a point no one knows I'm married here and it going to stay that way and certainly I'm not planning on getting married again.

"And which prince will want to marry the insolent princess who is rude and lacks manners," Prince Asher huffs with a smirk on his face.

"You just didn't say that?" I scoff.

"That's enough stop it Asher she is still your royal Princess show some respect," Prince Assin quickly jumps to my defense.

"Oh wow see that prince Assin holds my sister in high regards and any prince will be lucky to have her as a wife," Zenab grins.

"I will have time for you prince Asher your cup is not yet full, keep getting on my nerves and you will have it coming for you. Now let me make it clear no prince of this land is worthy of me," I chuckled tapping Asher's shoulders as I walk out of the run.

I could hear them rattling about the ball this evening prince Asher seem more excited than the rest of the two princes.

I could tell from the way prince Assin stares at me that he probably feels or has developed some kind of feeling for me and I hope my statement is enough for him to stop thinking about me or wishing there could be a chance between us.

I saw his sad looks when I said no prince was worthy of me. 

"My lady the ceremony has started and your presence is required," Pana announce as she rattled about how many people were present at the ceremony and she insisted the twin stay inside their room.

"Okay fine then stay with them and inform me right away if anything at all happens," I instructed taking my leave accompanied by two maids on my side and two guards behind me.

After my presence was announced I thought Pana was just exaggerating about the guests invited but she was right.

The ceremony was going on fine the music was on and the princesses were ready.

Zenab the crown prince and my brother were to declare when the princesses are to match in.

"Um," he clears his throat as the room goes silent.

"Before the official ceremony starts, I will like to have the first dance with the most amazing stunning princess in this ball tonight," Zenab said with a smile.

I was sitting next to him, the whole room noises as everyone was murmuring among themselves.

Does he have a princess he already likes? Oh know I hope grandma doesn't object my brother deserves to be happy with the woman he loves and not bond by some stupid old tradition.

"Zenab!" Grandma whispers gently but firmly at Zenab who was still up standing with a smile on his face.

My eyes couldn't trace where his two best friends stood prince Assin and Prince Asher. Right the crowd might have absorbed them, they might have answers.

"My beautiful sister princess Nancy," Zenab announce as the noise subdued I was lost in my thoughts as my name only echo in my ears.

He puts his hands in front of me lifting me up from the chair as the crowd applauds.

"Shall we dance?" He said with a smile on his face while I frown. He puts up a show-all for this.

"You are enjoying this aren't you? I suppose this was all part of your big stupid plans," I whisper in his ears wearing a fake smile.

We walk under the dim light as we move our bodies slowly.

My eyes flickered around the colored light and decors of the room. A lot of preparation have being put into this.

"I won't miss a chance to show my elegant spinster sister to the world you know, you might have an admirer in the mix of the crowd," he grins over my ears slightly himself a bit. I knew it. My stupid brother wants to find me a suiter that way we both will be miserable. 

The fact that we are twins doesn't mean we have to share the same fate.

I squeezed his hands with a smile on my face as he let out a little groan.

"Ouch,"

"Smile my dear brother you don't want people thinking I'm bullying the crown prince right?" I smirk as he fakes a smile.

That felt really good. My eyes flickered to a handsome tall guy that looks like Baby. My eyes might be failing me, it's impossible for him to be here it must be someone else.

I look back in the same direction and didn't see anyone standing there.

After my dance with Zenab, the princesses were being introduced one after the other and those who wanted to sing did sing a song, those who wanted to dance did so and those who wish to play the instrument did as they pleased.

It was just like an audition in the drama series. It was boring and annoying and until Zenab finds the one for him we will be sitting there like zombies for the rest of the night.

Sitting on the high take it's impossible to get up and leave without raising an eyebrow.

"Listen Zenab choose any of them already I'm bloody tired," I whimpered into his ears.

"Imagine what I feel, it not that easy picking up a commodity in the market, after all, they all look like Saint in disgust, everyone one of them is a bit of Rose I can't have that," he complains whispering back into my ears.

Grandma caught us chatting instead of him paying attention he quickly reprehend us.

It went on and on till grandma decided to choose the best candidate herself.

She decides when Zenab raise the flag and finally we had our three candidates for the crown Princess position.

"The night is still young go mingle with your princesses and give me good news soon," grandma grins pushing Zenab away. 

"Congratulations dear brother," I teased as he frowned his face.

In the midst of the commotion my eyes spotted someone that looks like Baby again and this time around I didn't let my gaze off him.

Our gaze lock as I walk towards him in the midst of the crowd and the loud music with food and drinks displayed on the tables.

I didn't blink an eye with the fear of him disappearing on me again. My heart jumps in excitement as I try to keep it under control.

We can't be a part for long and I was glad he come around and understood why I had to leave.

My heart slowly sink when the thought of him not being actually here.

Someone stood in front of me blocking my view as I move too quickly to look for him again and the person block my view again.

I angrily lift my head as my gaze locks with Nico's this time around he was not in a palace guard uniform and he looked completely different. He was dressed in royal attire looking like some kind of prince.

"Nico," I said.

He walks majestically towards me. "Yes it's me, how do I look?" He said revealing a smile and a deep sent on both sides of his cheek.

My breath caught away from his look as I slightly to see if Baby was still standing there.

I was disappointed when I didn't see him and I had Nico to blame for that.

"What are you doing here?" I asked angrily.

"Enjoying the ball like everyone else," he said coming closer to me as there was no space left between us. 

My eyes narrowed away from his gaze and fell on prince Asher who had the same annoying look ever.

He always finds me in a comprising situation no wonder be he thinks so shabbily of me and my reputation not that I care about what he thinks about me well forget it does bother me he thinks I'm an easy woman. 

He angrily disappeared into the crowd.

"You quickly found a replacement for me?" A masculine voice said behind me. I immediately turned to the familiar voice.

I glare at Baby's face as he angrily stares at me now I have some explaining to do.

"Who is this guy!" They both asked at once as they angrily stares at each other.

Oh no this is bad. I stood in their midst as they glare at each other, without breaking eye contact even as I tried to get them to back out of it.

They can't cause a scene here.
