You woke up the next morning to see the maid staff in a frenzy, they had only just been informed of the ball. "Umm do you guys need help?" You asked the head maid. "No princess we are just trying to find the perfect gown for you." You nodded and got up to brush your hair. Puffy brought you your favorite muffin for breakfast, you thanked her but she had to leave because there was so many people in my room. A maid then styled your hair in a cute bun and did your makeup. Once all that was done you looked at the outfit the maids had choosen for you.

(If you click on the image at the top that is the ballgown I am basing this off of, however you can change it if you want! Also that is what your hair and makeup look like.)

It was a light pink, off the shoulder dress with lace detailing on it. The bodice was covered in a lot of ruffles that looked like flowers, they were spread farther apart as you went down the dress. It was cute and modest, the perfect ball gown. (At least for me.) "Where did you guys find this?" I asked in awe. "It was sewn by me." One of the maids said. I recognized her as the seamstress of the castle. "You did a fantastic job, thank you so much." I said, she just smiled at me and said you're welcome.

The rest of your morning is kinda a blur, but eventually you end up in a carriage with your father and brother. As you are sitting in the carriage your father is going over the plan over and over again. I don't know why since it is SUCH a simple plan. All I have to do is slip away when King Philza is giving his speech welcoming all of the kingdoms. Then I just need to search the rooms of the castle for anything that looks important.

After my father explained the plan for what felt like the 100th time I saw the SkyHaven Kingdom. "Finally!" You said since you didn't know how much longer you could put up with your father. "Remember the plan." My father said. "How could I forget." I responded. "And you wonder why people call you sassy!" Your brother said. You didn't get a chance to respond because you guys were at the gates of the castle. Instead you just glared at him.

As soon as you entered the castle you noticed a red color theme. I mean the color was EVERYWHERE. You try to memorize the hallways and paths as the guards guide you to the ballroom. When you enter said room it is beautifully decorated with banners and ribbons. There are tons of people in the room since this was a ball for everyone. You descended a giant stair case and the king of the Dream Kingdom came to greet you guys. Ironically enough his name is Dream. The Dream Kingdom  and your Kingdom kinda had an alliance going on, or at least a friendship. Because of this I had already met the king and all of his ambassadors.

"Hello Roy." Dream said. My father nodded and greeted him as well. They were talking about some raiders and what not but I wasn't really listening. I never did well in a public environment. Its not because I have social anxiety or anything, but because my mind wanders too other things. To put it simply I get bored. Right now all I wanted to do was go and read a book in my library, but then you rembered what you were there for and focused again.

Your father and Dream were just finishing up there conversation when two people, no, one person and one piglin walked up to your group. You instantly guessed that this was King Philza and Prince Technoblade. You had a few books on them in your library and those books didn't do them justice. They had this intimidating aura around them, though that might have just been Technoblade. Your father and Dream turned to them.

"Roy, Dream, it has been too long since I last saw you." Philza said, and he was right. The last time I rember my father meeting with the king was when I was 5, right before my mother died. "Yes, it has been quite a while hasn't it." My father said. "I see your children have grown up, well they look just like you." Philza said. You could tell that he wasn't trying to be aggressive, if anything he was being friendly. "I see your children have grown too. I met your other two children, Wilbur and Tommy, they have a fine Kingdom growing." Your father said. He seemed tense, very tensed. However he was somehow also able to look comfortable and  relaxed at the same time.

"Well I belive I haven't met your daughter." He turned towards me. He was about to say something when a guard came up to him. "Sir everyone is here and awaiting your speech." He said, Philza nodded. "I suppose introductions will have to wait till later." He motioned for his son to follow him. Once the two of them had gotten to their thrones Philza began his speech about how thankful he was that everyone had come to his gathering. My father looked at me and I knew that was my cue to go.

I quickly but quietly slipped out a different door than the one I came in. I was walking through an unfamiliar hall in a unfamiliar castle. I found my way to a room that had a ton of books in it. It was huge and also had a few desks. At first I thought it was just the library, but then I saw a bunch of documents and books on one of the desks and I knew I had hit the jackpot. Unbeknownst to me I had been seen exiting the ballroom and I was followed all the way to the library, and as I was walking over to the desk a pair of red eyes were watching me.
