My fans in the crowd, I don’t think you know just how many people I’ve had to eliminate to get here. Would you still be clapping had you known?
Tonight my dress feels heavy and seems to drag me down, but at least it looks splendid for the cameras. It cost a pretty penny, but I need to look impeccable. Would you still be clapping if I didn’t?
Fame is overrated. It’s just a reminder that the world...
I woke up in a room that smelled of broken promises and betrayal. The bed was soft, but like the one I always had. I wasn’t in my house though. Where was I?

As he watches her in awe
Trying to catch her eye through her feather mask
She draws him in unknowingly
He does his best to keep up

As I glide from man to man, dancing to there hearts content, I see Rafael. I begin walking over to him until Vanessa spots me.
“Oh dear, you look absolutely stunning” she says.
I give her a transparent...
I practiced this dance a million times. I practiced my greetings and my words. Everything had to be right.
I had to act and speak just like them.
Thousands of miles separated me from my home town; a place no one on this strange continent knew existed. Nobody here knew what lay beyond the vast expanse of water surrounding this place.
The polish on the wooden boards shined as my foot took anothe...
“She is so beautiful and smart, liked by everyone. Good at everything. There’s no competition.”
“Indeed. It makes it difficult sometimes to stay neutral and not get consumed by jealousy, for being so adored by everyone.”
“I think it’s her stare. She looks in deep, deep into you till you go transparent. It’s scary. She sees through your body and gets a visual of your soul. She seems to be able...
One, two, three. Hair flashed like the pale sun. One, two, three. Brilliant sapphire eyes shone. One, two, three. Cherry lips curved upwards. Shimmering crystals dance on silken foxgloves. One, two, three.
The opulence of Lehár’s Gold and Silver waltz fades out as the lights dimmed. Sweet emotion pulled from the strings of violins, bringing in the Wiener Blut. She had always been impressed by S...
Prince Ameron may have kept perfect time with her, but Cecaylia commanded the attention of the ballroom. She glided across the floor, never missing a step. Her skirts shimmered and flowed around her ankles as the music slowly built to a climax.
Cecaylia smiled at the Prince, never taking her gaze from his. He smiled back, a mischievous glint in his too-warm brown eyes. She felt his grip at he...
Beatrice wished she didn’t have to kill the king. She truly didn’t want to, but of course she had to. That night the king was inviting every maiden in town to attend a ball, where he would choose his queen. His name was King Charming II.
