"Okay, then" The king's expression looked corandchild However, noas slapped by the reality that the babyJared had watched his wife cry so much and suffer beyond measure when their children died one by one The last one happened a long tio, yet the wounds always felt fresh like it was yesterday

Every parent's worst night had experienced it far too many times

He couldn't bear to experience siirl, Lady Emmelyn, would also lose her baby If that happened, he, too, would give up like Mars and admitted that there was no hope for their family

To ease the tense atmosphere, Mars motioned the royal butler to start the celebration and serve food and drinks to all the guests present

"John, let's start the celebration," he said to the butler

"All right, Your Highness" John bowed down deeply toward the monarchs and the prince and then went to the center of the hall He clapped with a broad smile on his face and announced to everyone that the royal ball was officially opened

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have the crown prince in here, let's start the celebration! Music is ready and you can dance while waiting for the king and the prince to give their speeches You can also start enjoying the sumptuous dishes provided by our best cooks and the best wines frolass of wine and raised the glass to the crowd of guests "I would like to raisepoint in his life and he can find his happiness"

Everyone took their glass and raised it too Mars slass froave it to Eirl stared at the man and muttered "Happy birthday"

"Thank you," Mars wanted to kiss her right then and there, but he held back He turned to his father and bowed down slightly "Thank you, Father I a the best mother any child could ever ask for"

Everyone cheered and then downed their wine The first round of winethe ball Beautiful o for a dance

Other couples started to follow suit Soon, the ether

Mars only stood on the side and watched them He had never joined the dance because he didn't want to take the space fro couples If he went down there to dance, all women must leave the floor

Mars orried if they accidentally touched him, they would become the victilanced at hi in his eyes Did he want to dance like those people?

Emmelyn immediately understood that for Mars, it was better for hi other people to leave the dance floor Now that Eh, she knew that the prince was actually very selfless

"Would you like to dance?" The girl suddenly whispered to his ear

Mars turned to her and furrowed his brows He didn't understand her question

"What does my want have to do with the dance?" he asked back "You know I can't go out there"

Elass and touched his cheek "Who said you can only dance here?"

Mars was dumbfounded by her words It took him a full minute to understand what she meant, as Emmelyn pulled his hand to walk away froirl already saw the door to the terrace on their right and decided to take the crown prince there

"We can still hear the music from the terrace," she explained once they stepped out of the door

Mars's eyes went round when he realized what she wanted to do He could hear the beautiful music perfectly from where they were Ahh did she want to dance here?

There was no one on the terrace and they were surrounded by green plants in big pots, giving them privacy from people outside the palace

"Do you want to dance with me?" Mars asked Emmelyn with an unclear voice He was in a daze
