As instructed, Ameline had spent the evening close to Sahara. While the princess engaged with others, Ameline just smiled- and did her best to hide her sharp teeth. She spoke when spoken to, but otherwise tried to remain as innocuous as was possible for a vampire.
But, sure enough, staying in the background proved to be impossible. The king approached and, with a smile, asked her to dance. Ameline gave a glance to Sahara, and saw her tension, but knew that she could not resist. So instead, she bobbed in a curtsy to the king, and took his hand with as genuine a smile as she could muster. "My thanks for this dance, my king," she said, as they went to the dance floor. Perhaps, Ameline reasoned, if she did not resist, the king would let her return to Sahara rather than later.
