Anastasia sighed and shook her head, "It's fine, Samsul..." She gave him a soft smile, "I'll be fine.... Now, come along, it is time that I go to my first ball..."

They walked to the Ballroom and as she entered someone, somewhere, introduced her to the crowd. They began to applaud again and she paused, waiting for them to stop. She grinned, "Well..." She looked to the minstrels, "Let's begin."

They began to play music and people began to grab partners to dance with. Anastasia turned to look at Samsul, she hadn't done much of dancing in her court studies. It might have been nice to start the night with someone she didn't have to impress. However, an elderly king walked over to them and bowed, "May I ask the new Queen for a dance?"

Anastasia smiled and curtsied, "Why of course."

She placed her hand in his outstretched one and allowed him to bring her toward the dancing crowd. She looked over at Samsul and waved her hand, telling him to go dance. Besides, he was off duty today.
