"Are you having fun?" Judith was torn from her thoughts as Bryon spoke to her. She looked up at him and smiled weakly. "As much fun as I possibly can have," she replied then laughed nervously. Why did he show so much interest in her? Ever since her return he spoke to her, it always seemed as if he used any excuse to have her come to the castle. She had overheard his guards gossiping once, apparently Bryon was rather smitten with her. Why though? She was not poor of course, though she was not royalty either. It was uncommon for a king to show real interest in a commoner. She caught a few other Light Elves, even Dark Elves, looking over at them as they danced. It made her feel nervous. She wanted to pull away from him though he held her close and tightly. Judith waited for the next change of partners, she would turn down the next man and flee away from Bryon.

Bryon let go of her finally, it felt as if ages had gone by. He bowed then took her hand to her face and kissed it gently. Judith felt uneasy, she watched him keeping her eyes on him. When he released her hand she brought it back and kept to herself not wanting him to take her back for another dance. "I enjoyed that," he said then smiled warmly at her. Judith managed a smile though she didn't stay too long for him to drag her back for more. "Thank you for dancing with me my lord," she bowed quickly then fled from him, though she suddenly felt someone else's arms around her before she got too far.

Kane almost forgot to bow as he finished dancing with the queen. He stumbled a bit as he bowed quickly then lifted himself. "T-thank you mi'lady!" he said nervously, he managed a smile. Then he let her go off to whatever she pleased, he turned being met by another woman who wished to dance with him. What had he gotten himself into?
