The Blacksmith's Daughter

Chapter 5 ~ Well hello

The night seemingly went on forever; tunes went on none-stop, and no one stopped dancing. Not even Cinderella would have left at midnight.

But eventually, it came to the point where everyone had fallen asleep in the ballroom. They either fainted from the prince, alcohol or being way to tired.

Melody, on the other hand, sat at the bar, trying to drink an expensive wine that she ordered an hour a go but thought was disgusting.

"Drowning our sorrows are we?" said a man as he took a seat beside her. Melody's gaze moved to the man to find it was Prince Henry.

"Oh, um... N-not really..." She said shyly, not sure if she should bow or something.

"Well, you've been by yourself all night, and been staring at that wine for around 2 hours." He laughed.

Melody looked at him as he laughed. He seemed a lot less serious than he did earlier. He was all uptight and fancy. What changed? "I know what you are..." He suddenly whispered in my ear, then nipped my neck.
