When Our Souls Intertwined
CHAPTER 4
The Duke of the household Eclair was in a corner together with other ministers, Discussing a possible alliance in more transactions to come.
While talking to one of the guests, Seven Eclair arrived. Excusing himself between their conversation, the Duke bid farewell and walked along his son to a more quiet area.
Duke Vincent Eclair
Has your sister arrived?
Seven E'clair
I haven't seen or felt her presence yet. I've already asked someone from the shadow guards, and they said she's on her way here.
The duke took a deep breath
Duke Vincent Eclair
Once she's here make sure she doesn't wander around. It's too dangerous here.
The duke walked away, leaving Seven to his thoughts.
Soreen. His beloved and well sheltered sister. It would be the second time that she would enter the palace.
As much as he hated bringing his sister to these kinds of events, he had no other choice. The Emperor's words are like the voice of heaven itself.
He especially invited all those who don't bore a mark in their souls. In simple words, those with no significant other, soul mates, Husband, Wife, whatever you call it. And Soreen was no exception.
A maid passed by him with a tray of wine and snacks. Seven was about to stop her when the people around the halls, started to gather in the throne room.
The ministers and guests settled in their perspective seats. Snacking on the delicacies laid upon their table in satisfaction.
They ate bite size pieces until the music started to play in sweet melodies.
He observed from afar and saw a couple of dancers in masks.
They all came seductively inside the halls and began dancing in a smooth and swift motion.
One of the dancers stood out from the others. Her dance was precise, elegant, and captivating.
He watched her as she made her way towards the Emperor.
Swaying her hips in the process, she touched his chin in a seductive manner, Making the emperor smile.
They stared at the beauties with great fascination.
Their bodies moved along the sweet melodies playing somewhere in the room.
And then suddenly, Hades was hit by a sense of familiarity under those music notes.
He whispered to himself and searched the halls with his eyes, But nothing was familiar to him other than the melody playing.
The dance ended before he knew it and by then he stood up from his throne and walked away. Determined to find the person behind that kind of melody.
He followed the sound of the fading Harp until he was standing behind a red curtain in the other side of the room where no one was.
He gently pushed the curtain aside, and met the eyes of the person he was longing for forever.
Hades Devilles
I found you...
