Jack was a young man invited there by a friend of the king,to be at the palace was a great honour and he appreciated the kind words of his friend "The king heard of your courage and the way you fight, he wants you to be the capitan of the gards". He could have never believed that fighting against the italians will bring him to the Versailles and to a royal ball. It was an honour to be in the presence of his king, he only did his duty.
Along the ball in a red dress was Marie part of the aristocracy class, she a shy lady looking at the dance floor and imagining what it feels like to dance in another mans arm.
She was the daughter of a close member of the monarchy,a man with great power and influence in France.
Jack was lost in this beautiful ritual of couples dancing in something magic,when the path cleared and he saw there looking like an angel, he was struck by Cupid himself and lost all sense of protocol and courtroom rules,approached her and with respect introduced himself, she blushed and smiled looking at this man, extraordinary courage to come to her and simply tell her his name.
He lend his hand and asked for a dance from this amazing lady,Marie accepted and forgot all about her heritage,rules and etiquette. She was in the arms of a strong man and dancing in the ballroom,her dream coming true, falling in love with this simple man, with his great heart. Nobody notice them and the dance moved along without incident.
Her father saw her dancing with some man on the ring and asked the king discreetly "Who is that man that dances with my daughter?"
The king surprised watched and spoke "Its a war hero,a lonely survivor of a great war, I called for him to make him my captain but apparently he found something of more value here"
The father of Maries protested "But majesty Marie is meant to marry the duke"
The king lookend almost bored "I am sorry but I think that the duke will not want to ruin true love, I may bee a king but i am still human and i like a love story with a happy ending if you don't mind"
The father of Marie clenched his teeth in anger,as he arranged for his daughter to marry a wealthy man to ensure his legacy and money.
That night was the night that Marie feel in love with a warrior but somebody wathcing did not saw this romance with good eyes.
A love story endying in tears and loss, for a moment Jack was still there in the arms of Marie his love,he opened his eyes and the cruel reality hit him,Marie was dead,he a vampire and 220 years passed since that night that started all of this.
