        _{❝ I’M SURE  WE COULD CHANGE THAT, don’t you? ❞ He was attempting to be as decent as he possibly could. It was a rare occasion he ever came to the these parties, but he believed that blending in shouldn’t have been too hard. After-all, he was a prince himself – how hard was it to  make yourself belong  somewhere? Harder than he thought as a slight grin pulled at his lips. ❝ – unless you’re needed elsewhere.  ❞}

_{THE QUESTION ALMOST TEMPTED HIM TO TELL TRUTH, but instead,  he forced out the per-usual lie. Though, the idea of lies, and truth were always blending in his mind. A lie to some wasn’t a lie to another. Sometimes, a lie could be played off as truth, and become truth it would be.  So, he opted for something in-between, ❝ Perhaps, but perhaps it was someone else who looked just as  beautiful- either way, the pleasure is all mine. this time around.❞}

_{IT WASN’T UNCOMMON for Ky not to know everyone at these parties. He avoided them for years due to the fact he wasn’t interested in them – never was, even as a child, but they still had their uses. Even more so these days when he was slowly attempting to come back to the public eye.  ❝ James Richardson, ❞ he said – the words coming out much smoother than he thought. He could have said his real name or ‘a friend’, but he didn’t want too many eyebrows lifted – at least for now. ❝ And we haven’t – not formally. ❞}
