Chapter 4

" Don't worry about the darkness in my soul. It ignites me like a embered coal "

******************************************************

" My lady, you were so cool out there " Elizabeth spoke. She took a glass filled with wine and passed to Charlotte. " Was I? " Charlotte took the glass from her hand she took a sip, it was sweet and bitter at the same time, she looked at the glass in her hand, the wine in it was dark red in colour.

" Of course you were " Elizabeth replied taking a sip of her own wine.

" Do... Do you... Will you dance with me.. My majesty ? " Charlotte heard a murmur behind her, she turned around only to find a young man. He was standing with his hand extended forward for her to accept. He was not looking at her, he was too scared to do so.

" Sorry young man but i am not in a mood for a dance " Charlotte spoke Politely to him.

" Look my lady, it's been only half a minute and you are already being asked for " Elizabeth winked at her.

Suddenly Charlotte felt a shiver run down her back, she felt a very strong graze on her back. She felt as if someone was continually staring at her. She turned around to find a man, he was sitting in a corner with a bunch of ladies surrounding him as if he was king. Charlotte couldn't see his face.

The ladies were sitting in such a fashion that it was impossible for her to see his face. She noticed he had his arms circled around two women's waist, and a young man probably his man in care was standing with his sword. Charlotte did not pay much attention to this man after this.

" My lady did you find your first love? "

Cough! Charlotte almost chocked on her drink, she almost forgot why they were here in the first place.

" Cough! She coughed again gaining a worried glance from Elizabeth, " My lady are you okay? " Beth was worried sick about her lady. " Yeah I am fine " Charlotte replied, suddenly she felt the strong graze again on her back, she immediately turned around but the man and the feeling both was gone. Elizabeth saw her looking worried, " Are you okay my lady? Are you looking for someone? She saw her looking around.

" No, it's just... I feel like.. Like someone is continually looking at me.. But who? Elizabeth was quite for a while but she spoke again, " My lady, you are already so beautiful and with this dress of yours is like a Cherry on the top, isn't it obvious that everyone present here has their eye on you? She winked at her.

" Beautiful " She has never been complicated in her real world, she looked at Elizabeth and felt happening for herself to find someone so pure as Beth. " You are looking beautiful as well Beth " She tucked Beth's hair behind her ear, actually Beth was a very pretty women with her dark blue eyes and long hair she looked adorable and beautiful.

" Thank you my lady, but by the way did you find anyone? " She was back with her previous question.

" Oh, I didn't Beth " Charlotte replied.

" This wine is actually good " Charlotte complimented and the young man present at the drink counter blushed. It was his first time seeing the queen, she was so beautiful. " Madam, should we go back? " Elizabeth asked, she was now bored with this pub. " Why don't you enjoy here Beth? " Charlotte asked, she was herself felling bored with this pub.

" Nah, it's so boring my lady " Elizabeth replied looking around she didn't find anyone suitable either.

" Then let's go Cindy " Elizabeth stood up but sat down eventually because Charlotte was still sitting, " Are you there my lady " Elizabeth waved her hand in front of Charlotte to get her attention.

" Beth, I think I should dance with that man, he looks so lonely " She pointed at a man who was sitting in the deepest corner of the room, he had a wine glass in his hand, he looked lonely and sad, " Isn't he the man who came to ask for you to dance with him? " Elizabeth asked. " Hmm" Charlotte nodded her head she felt bad for refusing him earlier, " What should I do Beth? " .

" My lady " Elizabeth stood up and continued " You should go dance with him " She turned her face towards Charlotte , she had a evil smile on her adorable face, " Now get going " She pulled Charlotte.

" Ummm.. Excuse me young man " Charlotte spoke in her cold voice. The young man raised his head and looked at her, he was shocked! " My majesty.. What.. What.. " He was so exited that he couldn't speak. " Let's dance " Charlotte took his hand and lead her to the dance floor. Everyone's eyes were on her, they were all very shocked to see queen Chindrella with a man!.

" it's The queen, she is dancing with someone, but who is he? " everyone was curious to know that who was this lucky man who was dancing with her.

" is he her lover? " Alexander asked Elson who was licking his lips by looking at Charlotte, " hey Elson, is he her lover? " he asked again, this time more loudly, he pulled Elson out of his lusty thoughts, " ah, maybe, but i have never heard of her having a lover or something. don't you know she is very arrogant and she hardly appears in public, it's hard to know anything about her. "

Emily raised her eyes and looked at Cinderella, she was beautiful, very beautiful and confident.

They danced beautifully, Charlotte was like an angel and the man was like a prince. " What's your name? " Charlotte looked in his eyes and asked. He blushed seeing her beautiful face from so close, " Luc.. Lucas Davesns, my lady " He replied. Charlotte nodded her head, she stepped back and bowed her head, " Thanks for the dance Lucas " And she was gone leaving a mess in the hearts of evey man present their including the one she danced with.
