Chapter 66: An Unexpected Request - Sebastian

“It is my deepest honour to introduce for the first time, our new King and Queen, Sebastian and Lemuel!” I hear Eisa cheer through the microphone as Lemuel and I make our way into the ballroom.

Everyone is gathered and cheering, still carrying the same excitement from earlier. I smile at Lemuel, tightening my hold on his arm and watch as he takes in the wonderfully decorated room. The decor is much the same as the throne room, only on a much larger scale. Glittering purple water pours from the fountains and waiters walk around serving drinks, but all that is tuned out the moment I hear ‘Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful?’ begin to play. I grin at Lemuel as I bounce with excitement. Dimitra deserves a big fat raise after this.

Lemuel smiles and extends his hand to me, “May I have this dance, my King?”

I smile and bat my eyelashes, “I thought you’d never ask.”

I place my hand in his, smiling wider when he pulls me close by my waist and begins twirling me around the dancefloor.
