Crown kingdom> Castle.
"Princess Anastasia, his majesty, doesn't want to be disturbed before his outing," the chief butler said, walking behind her.
Anastasia swiftly turned to him and he halted his steps. She was in her usual glory with her blonde hair loose and a flowery tiara on it;her beautiful white gown which was embedded with gems at the lower part and that made her look more dazzling.
"I don't care what you say, I'm going to his room" Anastasia smiled, displaying those deep dimples of hers.
"His majesty said so,not me"
"Princess I insist—"
Before he could utter another word, she raised up her gown and began running down the long hallway.
"Catch me if you can," Anastasia laughed.
The chief butler gasped and wore an exhausted look. “My princess,don't make this hard for me”
He ran after her but she wouldn't stop running to her father's room.
"My p-princess, I'm too old to be running like this" the chief butler was gasping loudly and sat on the floor.
"My p-princess!" He cried out and stood up, continuing the chase.

The King's room>
Anastasia wasn't stopped by the guards at the King's doors. They instead announced her visit and opened the doors for her.
"Father" Anastasia called and walked in to see her father, dressed up for the ball at the Hastings Kingdom.
"Ana,my baby," King Sawyer smiled at his daughter. He was not only a powerful king but harsh as well but never to Anastasia.
He walked to her and hugged her, the chief Butler rushed in and King Sawyer gave him a deadly glare.
"You look really handsome, father," Anastasia giggled as adjusted the collar of his royal garment.
"Thanks, Ana," King Sawyer smiled.
Anastasia had an ulterior motive behind the compliment and it was to attend the ball with him.
"Father…"
"I know what your request is and it's a big NO from me" King Sawyer refused bluntly.
Anastasia gasped. “I haven't asked"
She pouted her cute pink lips in annoyance, she thought persuading him would work but he had remained adamant.
"Papa, please"
"No!" King Sawyer remained firm on his decision. He didn't want to attend the ball either but it was his duty.
"Bye, Ana" King Sawyer pecked her forehead and walked away before she could use her charms on him.
Anastasia sighed in defeat. “I just wanted to see Damon"

Hastings Kingdom>Midnight.
The ball was going on cheerfully and everyone was in their best dresses, they were chattering joyfully till he climbed down the stairs.
The whole hall became quiet, this was something the King himself had never achieved.
Damon Hastings was the only prince of the kingdom but the most feared because of how many deaths he had caused. He was better known as the Beast who killed over a thousand people in a day.
That was the year when people began fearing him and even the king, his father was not excluded.
Damon looked like a demi-god as he reached the last step,he was the god's creation and total partiality. He was too handsome and beautiful to even exist.
Those features really didn't matter because he was the devil himself, cold and heartless.
With his cold eyes, he looked forward and ignored the unnecessary stares on him. He walked to a table covered with wine bottles and he served himself.
After a few minutes, the ball became as cheerful as it was but no one dared get close to him.
