into our conversation, his eyes fixed on mine as he speaks. “She hates me because I took Dallah away from her, then beat her and allowed someone else to beat her, and then had a Witch repair her face and body so no one would know. Yes , that’s about it, do speak up Zara if I’ve missed something,” He says sarcastically. “Speaking of which, you’re looking a lot better now, quite stunning in fact and don’t worry, there is no need to thank me for the dress.”
    “You beat this woman?” Thomas asks in disgusted tone whilst standing to his feet to meet Richard face on.
    Richard smiles at me before turning his gaze to Thomas.
    “Yes, and if you have a problem with that, I will do it again right here in front of all to see.” He tells Thomas, waving his arm around the room.
    I can see Thomas has a world of emotions going on inside him now, so I stand and address Richard.
    “Can we get this over with? Thomas it was nice to meet you.” I tell him with a token kiss on the cheek, but Richard pulls me away from him none too gently.
    “Zara, my room is on the 2 nd floor no. 9, if you ever need anything ok,” Thomas tells me with a sympathetic smile.
    I Nod my head to him in understanding with a smile on my lips.
    “She doesn’t need to know that Thomas, try a different whore, this one’s busy,” Richard tells Thomas and storms away from him.
    “For god’s sake,” I roll my eyes as I’m pulled to follow him.
    “If I find out you’ve gone to him, I will beat you in front of your wolves!”
    “Why do you care?” I ask in disbelief.             
    He spins to face me, holding my arms tightly as he comes close to my face.
    “I do not care; I just don’t want a cousin of mine with some filthy little whore!” He spits his venom.
    He really is a vile man. The day I never see him again will be too soon.
    “Yep, I get it, don’t sleep with your family, I’ll try my hardest, but it has been a while.” I tell him sarcastically, and angering him further.
    He snarls at me, looking down at me in disgust.
     
    We walk again heading for the top table, where Richard takes his seat at the head, and surprisingly I’m sat to his left and Theo to my right.
    The evening goes on for hours, pure misery it is sitting here listening to everyone’s mindless conversations. I can’t wait to get to bed, as Richard said I would be seeing Dallah tomorrow.
    Half way through the night, men walk in with their instruments and start to play, as the plates and cutlery from dinner are taken away.
    “Why didn’t you eat angel?” Theo whispers. 
    “Please Theo, what’s going on? Where is Dallah, and before you say you have no idea, I know that is a lie.”
    “You will see her tomorrow. Come dance with me.”
    “No thanks.” I sigh.
    “Oh come on?”
    “This isn’t my idea of having fun Theo, surrounded by evil men and women that look at me with pure hate; I want to be with Dallah back home.” I tell him with my eyes swelling with tears, but I will never let them fall, never will I show weakness.
    “Fuck it angel, I’m sorry that you are going through this. Tomorrow is a new day, a good day, come on.” He tries to brighten the mood.
    He pulls me to my feet, and drags me forward into the clear area in front of the band. What makes it worse is that we are the only two on our feet, while a hundred people watch us carefully.
    “Don’t think about them.”
    “How can I not, look at the way they watch me.” I say looking around at them all.
    “They are intrigued, that’s all, you’ll be the only human ever to be here and what could be so special about you that you’re here as the Prince’s guest of honor,” Theo states, looking like he wonders himself.
    He takes me in his arms, and starts to dance as I reluctantly join him as to not make myself look even more stupid.
    “Don’t show them fear or hurt, it’s what they want.”
    “Is that what you want, for people to fear you?”
    “They already do, but
