Looking between Lady Elena and the mystery man who had blocked off the Count's path to her and Lady Nora, Amira was lost in her confusion. She has no idea what was happening, and what had made so many people suddenly appear to protect Nora from the older man. Than of course, there was the floral bouquet in her arms which brought up even more questions.

Ending in it all being too easy for Nora to convince Amira to leave the situation with the promise of telling her about her mysterious secret admirer.

"You know who Magnus is?" She asked, eyes sparkling as she followed the other ladies lead with eager excitement.

"What is he like? Is he kind? Handsome? How do you know him? How do you think he knows of me? Woul - would you point him out to me?"

Looking from the other young woman to this older man, Amira's confusion just grew. She smiled at the new woman joining them, giving her a slight head nod, but anyone could see the worry on her face as her brow furrowed.

"It is a joy to meet you, Lady Elena," she said in a soft voice, her etiquette training taking over. Yet Amira's mind seemed to be somewhere else completely.

What were they talking about? What had she missed? Why had no one told her something had happened?! Was it because her cousins truly had no interest in her or, was it simply supposed to be obvious? Why had her own brother not mentioned it earlier? She knew she had just met him, but surely -

The word "pet" slid across her skin and caused a disgusted shiver to run down her spine, as she was shocked back to the current moment by Count Emil's words.

"I - I," She took a moment to try to bring her thoughts together. She didn't know why, maybe it was the nickname, or maybe it was the way he had inserted himself into the conversation but Amira found herself not wanting to be around Count Emil much longer, "I believe my.. friend will tell me more later."

She looked at Nora with her large brown eyes, hoping in that moment she had not overstepped.

Suddenly she was shocked by not only the approach of a large man making his presence known behind the count. For a moment, Amira was unsure if she was more worried or relieved. Then, before she could even make up her mind, a bouquet was being put into her hands.

Staring, stunned, at the bouquet and the servant, her mouth gaped open for far too long. Soon, a bright red shade was covering her face, and she was calling back to the servant in confusion, "I - I do not know a Magnus! This - this must be a mistake."

It seemed as if the servant either didn't hear her or didn't care because she was awkwardly left standing with a stunning dark bouquet of flowers. Turning back to look at the other woman, completely astounded, she just found herself repeating the words, "I... do not know a Magnus."

Nevertheless, she found herself hugging the flowers close to her chest.

Hearing the chuckle, Amira was all but ready to run out of the ballroom and to somewhere she couldn't make an idiot out of herself. It was only as the word sorry hit her, did she dare to give the other woman a peak.

Hearing the woman compliment her outfit, a giant sigh of relief seemed to flood Amira. A small chuckle escaped from her lips as she did a small curtsy with a warm smile, "Shehzadi Amira Kadir." Though if they were going to explain who they were related to, "I am the daughter of Grand Vizier Hafiz Kadir and niece to the radiant Sultan Raif Kadir."

A small chuckle escaped from her again after what felt like a long-winded introduction, "But after such an... impactful introduction, you may call me just Amira." Maybe tonight had not been a complete loss if she could indeed make a friend.

Amira had finally started to relax around another woman around her age, so that she hardly even noticed the older man walk into their space until he intruded with his greeting.

Shocked and a little taken aback, Amira began to remember that she was, in fact, in front of dozens, if not hundreds, of eyes that afternoon and would be under great scrutiny. She curtsied back, trying to smile politely, but she admittedly was unsure how to answer someone calling her company 'beautiful'.

Though that was quickly forgotten as she looked at the man in confusion, and she stuttered out the word, "M-mourn? I believed this to be a party, a - a introduction of noble families. What would we be mourning?" Amira stared at him in confusion, showing all of her innocence and naivety on display for the world to see.

Amira turned around aghast with complete embarrassment at her lack of attention and manners. She was surely never going to be allowed to a ball ever again after all the shame she had already managed to bring to herself in such little time.

Seeing the young noblewoman bowing towards her, she quickly began to curtsy in return as she started to spout out her rambling apologies. "No, no," She insisted, "It was entirely my fault. I was not looking where I was going at all and -"

It was then she peered to look up at the young woman she had bumped into, only to find her head now hitting squarely with the young lady's. A jingling mess was heard as she pulled back, hand to her head, her face now somehow managed to burn an even brighter red than ever before.

"I am so so sorry. I do not know what has come over me," Amira said, mortified, "I - I have never been to such a ball before, and I obviously was not ready for all the crowds and splendour."

Amira had never even considered that someone might be waiting for her. That wasn't how it went in romance stories at all. The prince charming was supposed to turn up and sweep her off her feet, no? Ask her for a first dance, maybe if they were a little daring, her first kiss.

Aslam's words made sense, but they conflicted with the beautiful love story she had written in her head over the last few weeks.

The moment of contemplation of maybe this was the reality of a ball quickly, was replaced by embarrassed panic as her words came spilling out as she complimented the stranger's outfit. The self assured reaction of her cousin did anything but calm down her mortification.

Aslam was so cool and collected, which made her awkward self all the more obvious.

"Please excuse me," she said quietly with a little curtsy before hurrying away from the scene. Almost running away from the two, she quickly made her way to be somewhere else. Looking back for a moment, she looked at the two composed, beautiful people before she had left together. Then her panicked exit was suddenly stopped as she came crashing into the back of someone.

Amira had been so enamoured with watching her cousin introduce himself a beautiful lady in red that she had not even noticed Aslam approach her. The sudden smooth voice coming from behind her had the young princess jump in shock. Wine sloshing from the fine glass in her hand and nearly spilling onto her precious dress.

"Cousin Aslam!" She exclaimed after she had spun around to look at the mystery voice that had so startled her. Trying to compose herself, she brushed down her elegant blue dress, making sure none of the wine had stained it.

"I - I am not afraid." She protested, even though every action she had just displayed would say otherwise. "I am just .... waiting."

His words complimenting her had Amira even more startled and lost as a bright blush grew on her face. She had no idea what to say to such honeyed words. She was so unused to so many people, let alone the attention she had just received.

"I am thankful for the offer of assistance, but I admit I am not used to such functions or even what I would, or maybe should, be looking for." Her confession had her fiddling with the silver adornments on her skirt, "I thought it best to wait..."

"Surely it would be evident when the man who would win my heart would appear, would it not?" She asked with a playful smile, almost as if it was a joke, but there was still a sincere question hiding in there.

Her eyes searched his, as if looking for the answer, and she was just about to ask him if he had ever had that moment when she was reminded they were not so alone.

Quickly curtseying to the lady in a gorgeous, delicate dress, she was swiftly repeating the words she had been made repeat at least a couple of hundred times before she had been let to go on this trip.

"Good evening, I am Shehzadi Amira Kadir of Alidasht. It is a pleasure to meet you th-"

Her words stopped suddenly as the other lady's statement seemed to have finally hit her, "Jealous?!"

"No, no" She protested, "It is you they must be jealous of. That lace! The way your dress presents you so softly but boldly. It declares you as a moonlit beauty."

The colour in Amira's face blossomed into a beautiful red as she rambled on about Kira's outfit, "I - I mean...It truly is a gorgeous dress."

Amira chided herself, at this rate, she was never going to be invited to another social event such as this.

It was finally here. The moment she had waited for ever since her father had visited her and told her she was going to be travelling to Caseonia. This was the moment when the grand ballroom doors would open, and she would be introduced to society. Then there, she would lock eyes with someone, and well, the rest had already been written a thousand times by a thousand different romance authors. Just as it had been written and she had read many times over, this obviously meant this was the moment she would get her happily ever after with her one true love.

Amira could hardly wait, she fiddled with her jangling adornments as she corrected herself in a mirror before finally looking satisfied. She, after all, had to make a good impression on her future suitor. Looking to the doorman, she gave him a warm smile and nodded.

"Shehzadi Amira Kadir of Alidasht," announced the herald as the doors opened, presenting the young princess who glowed with youth and excitement. She was dressed in her finest bright blue attire that was decorated with silver and jewels that shone under the candlelight. Her smile beamed down at those down the stairs as she took in all that her auburn eyes could take in.

Slowly, very slowly, she took down the stairs, all while reminding herself not to trip on her skirt. She did not need to make an idiot of herself in front of so many nobles. Even with her careful approach, she kept her eyes sweeping over the faces in the ballroom. Looking, scouting for those eyes she just knew would grab her heart.

Making it to the ballroom floor, she gave out a little sigh of relief. So far so good.

Approaching the Casenoia royals, she looked up at the king with a smile that showed no second thoughts or even knowledge of what he had just committed.

She simply curtsied, as she had practiced many a time in front of her tutors and mirrors. Then, with warmth that seemed to follow her from her homeland, she politely said, "Blessings to Caseonia and their king."

Seeing that seemed to be enough, she took his silence as her being excused. So without hesitation, she was quickly walking towards the ballroom area. Her eyes were still searching, looking at every man around her age with curiosity.

Though the longer she walked through the ballroom, the more she realised that she did really have any specific person to talk to or really anything to do. Her enthusiasm dampened slightly, but she tried to tell herself it was still early and took a glass of wine from a server.

Standing off to the side, she unsurely sipped on her red wine as she watched all before her with interest. Even if she didn't meet her one true love right now, that didn't mean she might not see someone else doing so.

Background

To say Amira grew up comfortably would be an understatement. She was spoiled since day one and has never known real hardships. She has never wanted for anything, well that is not entirely true. She has wanted for one thing, love. She never knew her father and her mother was not close, leaving her to a nanny and maids. She grew up well taken care of but not exactly a life filled with love.

She tried not let her bother her, instead she dived into her dancing lessons. When those were not enough, there were books. The fantasy worlds filled with excitement, adventure and most importantly romance had captured her heart. Now she just wishes she could find something similar in her day-to-day life.

History Summary:
Amira has grown up away from her father and the palace, instead brought up my her mother in a far away grand estate near the ocean. She never knew why her father had not wanted her close, or why her mother was so cold to her. At first she tried to reach out to them, her arms outstretched towards her mother in hopes for a warm embrace but the older she got the more she found the warmth in other places.

Her books were her escape from this cold world, where she could wind up in exciting adventures or feel the love of another. Her dance an outlet for her excitement and creativity, as well as a way to earn praise. She went even went so far to be a little rebellious and learn Dabke as well.

Overall, she didn't have a bad life. It wasn't like she was abused or starving but she did feel lacking. Leaving her now a young lady who yearns for more.
