You fell onto your bed ready to go to sleep and collapse into slumber. You didn't even care about the ball anymore. You wanted to lay on your bed, sleep, and wake up in ten years. You closed your eyes and was about to sleep when Genevive threw the dress box at you. 

   " Get ready. We have a ball to attend and serve. "

   " Can I just sleep? "

   " Nope. Now get this expensive dress on I'll do your hair and makeup and we'll get this show on the road. "

You sighed and then sat up from your bed. You slipped off your maid's uniform off and changed into the dress. The sleeves were hanging on your arms and the dress touched the floor.  The silver color was beautiful and the shoes that came with the dress were even more gorgeous. When you were done you turned towards Genevive. 

   " Wow, Y/n

   " Wow, Y/n. You look stunning. "

   " Thanks, Genevive. Your dress looks gorgeous. "

Genevive's brown hair and blue eyes matched perfectly with her dress. Her dress was light blue and it reached the floor in the back. The front of the dress reached her knees and it was layered. She straps on her shoulders were three inches wide and they sat on top of her shoulders. There were lighter blue accents along the bottom of the dress and on the straps.

Her makeup was light and she was wearing light blue eyeshadow with shiny lip gloss. Her hair was in an updo bun with snowflakes laying in her hair. A white shaw was laid softly around her and rested on her back. She walked to you and turned you around. She pushed your shoulders and set you down on the bed. 

She did your makeup and it was as light as her own, and instead of blue eyeshadow, she put on silver sparkly eyeshadow. She had earlier put wet knots in your hair and she was now taking them out. She dried your hair and combed it. When it was dry your hair was curly and smelled of roses. She placed a silver ring of leaves on top of your head and stood you up.

   " Beautiful, now let's get going. "

   " Thanks again, Genevive. "

   " Don't mention it. You know I love doing other people's makeup and whatnot. "

You two rushed into the ballroom, together. When you entered the room, it was clean and there were tables set up along one of the walls. The tables had a lot of food on them, and some looked expensive enough to stay from. The maids were dressed in beautiful dresses and were lined up along the walls with the butlers to their side. Genevive grabbed your hand and started running to the wall to join the rest of the maids. 

You stood by Elina and she was wearing a yellow and orange dress that matched her Auburn hair and green eyes. Her hair was in a side braid with flowers tucked between the braids. She smiled and waved at you and you returned the gesture. Two butlers went to the main doors to the ballroom and opened them. Guests started flooding into the room and filling the clean space.

Most of the guests were women and there were some men, but their numbers didn't compare to that of the women. The dresses that they wore were beautiful and expensive. A lot of the dresses were studded with jewels and gems. Their necks held big pieces of jewelry and huge diamond earrings. Each face of the women entering the ballroom was caked with make-up and you could tell how much they applied and how much they messed up.

   ' Wow. Glad I'm not rich. Sort of. '

Once everyone had entered the ballroom the doors shut and the kin appeared over the railing at the top of the stairs. He was dressed in gold while his wife was dressed in red. The dress had a sweetheart neckline and showed off her cleavage a bit. Their daughter walked down the stairs and stood on the stairs halfway down to the dance floor and halfway to the balcony. Her face held a neutral look as she looked into the crowd.

   " Thank you all for coming! "

The king's voice vibrated off the walls and bounced back to him on the balcony. Everyone's attention was on him now. 

   " Tonight as you know is my son's engagement party. Tonight he will find a bride to wed. They will be married and then my son will take the crown. Allow me to introduce my son. Prince Quinn Harding! "

Everyone started clapping and waited for the prince to appear. He stepped through the balcony doors and the crowd gasped. Prince Quinn was supposed to be wearing gold as his father was. Princess Mariella was wearing her mother's color so the prince was supposed to be wearing his father's color. That's how it has always been in the castle. 

Instead of gold Quinn was wearing black. His black hair matched the same color black as he was wearing and his icy colored eyes were matching with the accents on the suit he was wearing. 

( Except its not gold but icy blue )

His undershirt and tie were both black along with his pants and fancy shoes. His face remained neutral and he didn't mind the stares that everyone was giving him. The princess looked shocked along with the queen. The king however looked infuriated. Quinn stepped and presented himself between his father and mother. 

He stood proud as he looked down at the quests. He wanted to intimidate some of them so they would leave but it seems his plan backfired on him. The ladies below him fell in love with his actions and he could only stare at the girls with disgust in his eyes. His eyes glanced around the room and found your form standing with the maids. He didn't let his eyes stick to your form, but he could hear his thoughts going crazy from just one glance at you.

   ' She's gorgeous. She doesn't even look like a maid. She looks like a princess in that dress. If she wore something even more glamorous she would look like a queen. How did she turn from beautiful to stunning? '

   ' How could he do this? Tonight of all nights he chooses to rebel against his parents! I don't want there to be blood on the floor. I've cleaned this room for days straight. ' You thought. 

Quinn raised his arms up and held his hands outward.

   " Let the ball begin! "
