James was in the required tux. Mom had gotten him a new one, despite his objections, a few weeks ago. Okay, so the other was a little short in the legs, but it would have been fine.
James was nervous. It wasn't because of the wedding or being out around so many people, but it was because this was his first formal event with Val and he didn't want to mess it up. He wasn't exactly the best dancer and what if he stepped on her toes or worse knocked her over? He'd never forgive himself.
He waited for Val and when he first saw her he was speechless. He couldn't even say hi. She looked so beautiful and was the prettiest girl in the the world after his mother of course. He stumbled over words and his siblings laughed of course. James suspected that he would be teased for a long time for being unable to speak to his girlfriend.
He was introduced as a duke when he entered the ballroom. Grand dukes and duchesses were the ones who were in line for succession to the throne. James was just an extra-dimensional family member and he was totally okay with that. He didn't want to be considered for the throne. At all.
There was a big smile on his face when he entered the room because he had the prettiest girl on his arm.
