Her beauty and faurness was beyond comparision to any of the other ladies and those in waiting.<br/><br/>As time progressed and Katie out of his view he continued to watch the gate. He so badly wanted to go inside and talk in not but a few words to his lover, but he knew his royal duties to the king had to be first.

Some dressed in fine clothes and beautiful gowns others in fine suits fit for the lords of eat house some even adorn in medals of war and battle. He promised one day he too will be one of those lords so that he could truely ask Katie to marry him.<br/><br/>But alas he was a common soldier of the elite palace guards one that always was training and fighting. Skills matched to a knights but just without the title of one.<br/><br/>Once the guard came to relieve him of his post he instantly knew it had to do something with Katie. She always could get what she wanted somehow and by some way.<br/><br/>He nodded to the guard in thanks then rushed off to his living quarters of the palace to grab his own fine suit for the ball. He was overly excited too since he has been working on his waltz dance all month to surprise Katie during the ball. He couldn't wait to see her.<br/><br/>After getting dressed he rushed back into the hall. At the doors he calmed himself a fellow guard gave him the thumbs up with his looks and he smiled walking in. To go see the king. He passed his way through the crowded to the left side of the king "you called for me My Lord?" He asked.
