"I only did what she needed . I am not trying to be her mother…" Kyera explained honestly feeling a little lost and hopeless . She herself had noticed exactly what he was saying . Over time, and she wasn't really sure how or when, but she had indeed started to act like a mother figure .

She had tried to be a teacher and a mentor but there was such a fine line between a mother and a teacher . A mother fulfilled the same duties to teach and to guide but a teacher who defends and loves was a mother . Kyera cursed herself knowing this was going to make things complicated . Alexi must have been able to see the conflict in her soul for he seemed concerned .

Advertisement"Lady Kyera, forgive me if that seemed as though I was pointing out a flaw . You are one of the best things that has happened to Raina . There is nothing wrong with you being that role model for our Princess . If Prince Clovis or any of us that matter minded it, you would know by now . " Alexi tried to assure her . Kyera sighred .

"I just… taking care of her and the time I have spent with the Fourth Prince has been one of the few things that has given me true joy . I don't want to jeopardize that . " Kyera explained, not aware of how that sounded to the Prince standing before her or the one she hadn't noticed yet, listening nearby .

"I get that . Lady Kyera, if I may, don't worry about it too much . Clovis and Raina both adore you . I am certain nothing will take you away from them if you don't want to go . " Alexi reassured her as Clovis walked up as though he didn't hear a word .

"Excuse me, Second prince, but there is but one guest I have not danced with tonight . You happen to be distracting her . " Clovis interrupted with a bit of a polite smile . He honestly appreciated his brother for the first time since they were just children . He was completely right . Nothing could take her away if she didn't want to go .

"Of course . Good evening, Fourth brother, Lady Kyera . " Alexi nodded at them both and walked away, melting into the crowd . Kyera looked at Clovis a little surprised by his behavior . He held a hand out to take her hand .

"Shall we dance?" he asked as he smiled at her, having saved the best for last . Of all the dances he had endured this evening, he had a feeling this would be most pleasing, her surprised expression alone told him it would not be traditional by any means .

Kyera laid her small hand in his, the soft silk of her skin in his palm . His fingers closed lightly as he led her onto the dance floor . She followed a bit surprised as he did so . Many of the other ladies in the room watched as Clovis placed a hand on Kyera's slender waist and the other held her hand . He was prepared moments before the song began .

"Clovis I don't know how to dance like this . " she whispered and he looked surprised before offering a teasing grin, mischeif in his expression until he noticed the worry in her eyes . His expression became reassuring as the first few steps were made .

"Just follow my lead . If you make a mistake, I will save you . " he offered gently as he led her through the steps .

Kyera placed her trust in him, each step causing her dress to flow around them like a winter storm . Spinning and twirling across the dance floor as the fire light glistened off the embroidery of her dress and his jacket . Their elegance matched beautifully, and the way she submitted to his lead added to his masculine charm . There was something cohesive and enchanting as the two seemed to melt into one another .

Clovis and Kyera however, were bluntly unaware of the men and women who were watching them . They could feel each other . Their core power, the warmth they both gave off and the sensation of moving together in such a passionate way . The dance itself was elegant but the reactions and intensity of their spirits meeting was filled with passion . As he dipped her back, Kyera's molten gold eyes met his and he leaned in his lips hovering inches from hers .
