I smile and gently hold the hand of my beloved Roxanna as we walk down the stairs. We walked through the hall until we end up in the front of Dad's throne stairs. Rufus takes Roxanna for a moment before I bow to Dad.
"Blessing and Glory upon the sun of Obelian Empire, His Majesty, Emperor Claude de Alger Obelia. I, the Crown Prince, Prince Asher Seraphiel de Alger Obelia has come forth before you to announce that the south border of Obelia Empire has return to their rightful owner and only ruler, His Majesty, Emperor Claude de Alger Obelia. We had sent envoys to take care and stabilize the South after we take it back for you. The land has now return peaceful, safe and sheltered," I reported formally.
"You did well, crown prince," Dad say with stoic face and emotionlessvoice but there is a small light smile on his face, it was barely seen andthere is hint of amusement and proud on his eyes, "Your great service shall behonored with this feast. I shall also give you, your tribute of honorary. Yourwish has been granted..."
I could hear some people whispers their curiosity and eagerness to know what I asked as the tribute. Those who already know only give a nod of encouragement and congratulations with smile on their faces.
"Thank you, Your Majesty... It was an honor to receive such tribute from you..." I say.
"Rise, Crown Prince Asher of Obelian Empire..."
With that I stand tall and then Dad approach me and hold my hand for everyone to see.
"Tonight... We celebrate the victory and peacefulness for our empire, which couldn't be possible without the lead of Crown Prince. In honored of Crown Prince Asher Seraphiel de Alger Obelia's return and winning. He had asked this of me..."
Dad then offer his hand to Roxanna who approach accompanied by Rufus. Some gasps could be heard throughout the hall...
"Tonight, as well, I shall announce that, The Crown Prince, Prince Asher Seraphiel de Alger Obelia shall marry, Lady Roxanna Agriche."
Some people were astonished and couldn't help but clap and cheer for the newly engaged royal couple of me and Roxanna. I look at Dad and smile in gratitude to him, he looks at me nods in approval despite there is a hint of disagreement on his eyes. I believe that sooner or later, Dad will open up to Roxanna, she is going to be our family...

**(imagine Roxanna and Asher)**
I take Roxanna's hand and look into her eyes as she smiles softly and I couldn't help but smile back at her.
"Lady Roxanna Agriche... Will you be my wife from now and forever?" I ask.
She gently bows and smile with closed eyes, she looks ethereal and I was in awed even more.
"It will be an honor, My Prince..."
With that I put the engagement ring on her left hand's fourth finger and as I kiss her knuckle, I whisper...
"I love you my moon... Roxanna,"
She smiles and whispers back as I read her lips, "And I you, my beloved prince..."
Just then, after applause and cheers, the music played. I smile and offer my hand to her,
"Shall we dance, my moon?" I asked.
"I will be honored, Your Highness..." she answers.
I hold her waist, hold her hand and let the music flows and lead us to this special night.

(3rd Person POV)
Duke Alpheus who was there, witnessing the whole announcement couldn't help but clench his hand and grit his teeth. He was certain that he could persuade the Emperor and the Crown Prince to propose Jennette as Asher's fiancée. All of his plans are ruined because the crown prince fallen for Lady Roxanna.
"I could have proposed this idea before the crown prince returns! Now it's all ruin!" He said to himself as he went out to the balcony.
"You seem trouble Duke..."
He turns around to see black haired man with dark eyes and he looked alarmed.
"What are you doing here?! You're not supposed to be seen now," he said.
"Oh, come on Duke... I just come by to check my nephew and his future wife. I have to say, she is really a beauty... Reminds me of Empress Ultear," he smirks.
Duke Alpheus look at him intently and the man chuckle, "lighten up will you Duke..." He continued, "I don't have plan to assassinate her like I did with my brother's dearest wife and my nephew's mother."
He smirks one last time before leaving with a glance at the back and evil smirk seeing Asher and Roxanna dancing gracefully through the night. He has to start his plan sooner or later.
"How do you feel brother, if your beloved son will feel the same pain as you when your wife leaves you in death? Should I do it..."
That man has start to plot, it will be difficult and he needs to plan carefully of what his next step might be. Perhaps he could to use the brokenhearted daughter of his...
