Dylan POV

1,2,3… 1,2,3… A sigh left the queens mouth as the music was once again cut off due to me stepping on the feet of one of the butlers. “How many times must I say to keep your head up, and step lightly?!”

The dowager queen began to yell at me again causing me to swallow thickly. We’d been at this for nearly a week now. I was once again able to wear th dresses that I was first placed in, they just made dancing all the more difficult, my scars being on show were no longer a concern as the entire world had already seen them anyway, and on my feet lay a pair of delicate heels.
