ALLISA'S POV
"THERE'S a masquerade?"
Eunice's fingers observed the intricate design of the formal letter she had received. It's from her family. "Yeah, my family will be the one who will host it."
Saphire's eyes sparkled like a child. "Masquerade ball? Gusto ko rin maranasan 'yon!"
I'm not into that kind of thing and I'm sure it's for the upper classes who will visit the city.
It's already evening and we decided to rest at the manor's lobby for a bit. Kami lang nila Amy, Saskia, Eunice, Saphire, at Keith ang nakaupo rito sa mahabang puting lounge. Abala si Rhiele sa pagtingin sa mga painting na nandito sa lobby. Even before, after we saved him from that heretical mansion, he's always been an artistic kid. He likes painting too so I understand his fascination in their mansion. This is a noble place after all.
A refined blend of teal green and gold graced the space. Lot of paintings are inside the chamber. Portraits of noble figures and breathtaking landscapes were displayed on the wall. The designs were not overdone, enough to make the whole room elegant. The wall around us where each piece was displayed was also a work of art itself.
"Masquerade ball? Nakaranas na ako n'yan, pero na-bored ako." Amy shrugged.
Gusto ko sanang sabihin na baka wala lang siyang partner pero hindi ko na tinuloy, hindi rin naman ako si Symone para asarin siya.
Speaking of Symone, wala rin siya rito.
Himala, ah? Palagi pa naman 'yon nakabuntot kay Amy para lang sirain ang araw niya.
Even the other members are not here.
Celeste is not here, she said the town was too vibrant and she wants to look for the view above. Siya na nakakalipad. Linzy and Tristan were also roaming around the area. And Zach? He's still not here.
"Really? I heard you're a noble too." Ani Eunice.
"Oh well, hehe . . . malapit na mag-extinct na noble, oo." She wore a helpless smile.
"What? What happened?" Saskia asked.
"Let's just say that a war broke into my old kingdom, pamilya ko lang ang nakapag-evacuate rito. Also, matagal na kaming walang balita sa ibang kamag-anak namin."
"Did the war end already?"
"Yep, a long time ago. Maraming casualties kaya hindi pa gano'n kaayos ang paligid doon. Still not a safe place to be precise." She answered her.
