"Hmmm...." The sliver blue eyes moved over the letter, considering it for a long moment.
Prince Cain Herbreigs was an unusual man. His father was still quiet alive, though his mother had passed. He had been brought up by the servants as his father led battles in the front. This left Cain to his own ideas of how to treat people. He became cold and cruel to his servants, finding ways of doing so without having the blame point directly to him. He was sadistic in his actions, and now that he was twenty, no one could stop him in his ways. He frequently got letters like these from surrounding kingdoms, but when he arrived to the parties, the princesses were terrified of him. He enjoyed playing with them very much. However, there was only so much that he could do without angering the king of the kingdom. More often then not, female servants would vanish from the host castle and never be heard from. "Toya, get my bags ready... We are going to a party. " His voice touched with a hint of dark laughter.
Toya was a young servant that had grown up with the heartless prince. For some reason, Cain had taken a liking to Toya and hadn't gotten rid of him. It was needless to say that Toya didn't escape the wrath that was the prince. He had countless scars from beatings that had nearly killed him hidden under his clothes. However, as the two had gotten older, he had seemed to gain some kind of favor in Cain's eyes, for the prince took him everywhere that included the parties. Toya had seen the unfortunate girls caught in the prince's snare. He could do nothing for them. Often times, he would have to bury their bodies. He would give them a ceremony for which they wouldn't get other wise. It broke his heart every time he had to do so even though he didn't know any of their names. As the prince called to him and spoke of a party, his stomach rolled uncomfortably. "As you wish... Sire."
They arrived at the party, everyone's clothes glittering as people danced and moved. Cain turned to Toya and straightened the jacket upon Toya's shoulders. "Behave now..." He cooed. "You're being me after all." Toya was wearing one of Cain's finest suits. While Toya acted as Cain during the parties, Cain vanished through the hallways. Entertaining himself with the servants within the castle. Cain didn't mind. He enjoyed the release away from Cain. Although, he didn't like the uptight dances that the royals did. He preferred how the servant's danced. One on one, spins, dips, and fast. The problem was the women all wore such tight corsets that they couldn't keep up with him. They would only dance for part of the song before becoming far too winded to continue. He turned after another dance broken with a woman to see if there were any others curious enough to try his unorthodox dance.
