Princess Emily sighed. She glanced around for a time. She had finally agreed to dance with a couple of the nobles, but that was all. Her mind was, in truth, focused elsewhere, if she were to be honest about it. She was thinking about her father, and that extra announcement he was to make. She also kept thinking about those princes. Which one would choose her? She had no idea, and she was anxious at the thought of that. 


She took a deep breath. She walked around. She tried to act like she was simply exploring the ballroom. However, she was actually trying to leave and head outside. She was trying to be subtle about it though. 


She did not really care for formal affairs like this. She simply wished to enjoy some fresh air by the garden pond. That, to her, was an enjoyable time. She wished she could simply do that instead.
