Arthur Rosster could hardly keep his brown eyes off of the young Elena Newbury. Her red hair, green eyes, and lightly tanned skin were certainly an exotic sight to behold in a kingdom where most of the ladies shared the same blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin looks. She wasn’t a rather handsome woman though. The nose on her face was too long and her mouth was too small. When comparing her to her elder sister it was obvious who was the more ill-favored of the two. However, the way Elena presented herself to Rosster left behind a deeper impression on him then Ruth Newbury had. It was in this way that Rosster found himself to be attracted to the younger sister of Ruth Newbury.
“Lovely grounds to stroll through when a warm spring day comes round.” Elena commented thoughtfully to Rosster as they passed through the grounds of the kingdom towards the castle.
Oh goodness. The voice that belonged to Ms. Newbury was so smooth and alluring… It was so unlike her sister’s, who always seemed so harsh and tense in speaking. Rosster stated his agreement and told her of how beautiful the grounds looked once all the flowers had begun to bloom in the springtime.
“I do hope that I will be granted the opportunity to see such a sight when the time comes.” She said, giving him a charming smile.
What a smile she had, and for one who had such a tiny mouth it was incredible how much it brightened her whole face.
Once arriving into the castle and leading Elena through several hallways and rooms he finally came to a stop when a lady in her mid 30s came to greet them.
“Mrs. Lennon will bring you to your new quarters. Now I must bide you goodbye for the moment, Ms. Newbury.” Rosster bowed. Elena curtsied in response.
“Thank you Mr. Rosster,” she said to him, offering him yet another charming smile, “I hope our next meeting will be soon.” Rosster smiled a quick smile and then turned to leave.
As he walked through the ways he had just previously went through Rosster mentally battled with himself. Elena Newbury was, without a doubt, one of the most enchanting woman Arthur Rosster had ever met. But this was very bad. For even someone such as him, a man who kept all feelings of love and lust locked away in the back of his mind, he was only human, and whether he hated it or not Elena certainly interested him far more then she should. But thoughts of any romantic kind towards someone like Elena Newbury were both foolish and mindless. When the time came for him and Ms. Newbury’s next meeting to be he had to be steady in keeping all thoughts and emotions in check.
Messing around with someone who came from such a powerful family was not a wise move for someone like Arthur Rosster. If he were not careful this could turn into a deadly situation in no time at all.

This is kind of the first chapter for a story I'm planning inside my head. Right now though I would really like some ideas on how to expand this first chapter and what needs to be changed and what not.
