The moon hung in the sky like an ocean’s pearl shimmering upon the earth below. There was a soft wind pushing through foliage scattered across the prestigious kingdom. This night was going to be very special as the crowned prince was holding a gala, inviting nobles and dignitaries from across the land. The castle was at the center, looming over cottages and estates alike and inside there was flurry of activity. The confines were illuminated unlike the mid morning sun, particularly in the dance hall. Bustling with activity, patrons dressed in their finest attire and even danced as the band played an elegant tune. The host of the soiree was the crowned prince. This was a celebration of continuous peace, but to him this was an opportunity to find a potential suitor for marriage.
This was exactly why the Duke of the next county found himself forced to attend. His parents wanted him to finally find the perfect match and marry- eventually producing an heir. They believed that 28 was far too old to remain unwed.
