Chapter 01

I spun around when I heard the voice... it was soft and very masculine.
My eyes met dark green ones... piercing dark emerald eyes.
I always knew the first thing I noticed about a person was their eyes...
"You're beautiful" I blurted still entranced by his appearance,
his eyes widened a bit at my statement almost in disbelief... he chuckled,
"Most wouldn't think that..." he said a bit glum...
"Why?" I asked, how could anyone think that? At this point I was sure it was my imagination... years... years I've spent in that castle... sure, I met a few people but he... he was an entirely different thing...
He raised his eyebrow in amusement, the glum look still evident on his face,
"You sound like you've never met people before" he spoke.
