As the day passed the sisters continue with their surprise and our evil stepmother continued in earning money to buy some jewelry, dresses, and make-up for his girls. Everything was the same as any other day, the only difference was that on that calm day over 20 castle guards came to the market and gave a great announcement. The palace speaker gave a small smug look at the "commoners" while making his way to the middle of the market. There a huge trumpet sounded while the speaker loudly spoke, "Our majesty invites all of you to a night ball in the castle. Every young lady in the kingdom is invited! Invitations will be spread out to every home today and tomorrow." Before anyone got to grasp their head around the huge announcement the speaker had finished and began to leave with all the royal guards by his side.

While everyone was still in shock with the announcement nobody got to notice a handsome young man smiling while attentively looking at a dazed man trying to suppress his emotions. Without anyone's attention, the young man slipped from the crowd and directly went to the middle of the empire's guards formation. There every guard moved away creating a small barrier around the young man while still giving him some space. The young man just chuckled while thinking back of the lovely man's surprised face. He just can't way to see him at the ball. Finally, getting the opportunity to touch his lovely queen. 

Right after finishing work Hoseok ran to his girls'. Hearing the front door opening quickly the sisters ran to the front door, preparing for anything. Seeing the one at the front door was their mother both sisters relaxed and straightened their backs. Seeing his girl's confused face, Hoseok let out a breath and cleared out his throat. Standing up straight Hoseok tried to sound as relaxed as he could, " The king has invited us to a night ball, the invitation will be coming soon. We need to start getting ready, tomorrow we will head to the market and buy everything necessary."  

Without even letting the girls talk back or wrap their heads around the new information, Hoseok just walked away gently. Finally reaching his room Hoseok quickly locked the door and ran towards the closet. Having searched for minutes Hoseok finally found a small wooden box that he has been hiding for years. With shaky hands, Hoseok opened the wooden boxed and slowly took out 3 small items. Loveling looking at the three small items Hoseok smiled softly while holding his tears. 

After waiting for a few hours the family got the ball's invitation. With a small smile, Hoseok opened the invitation while attentively reading every line. After rereading the invitation for the fifth time Hoseok cleared out his throat and confidently informed the girls about the ball and the rules. While there weren't many rules to start with. Feeling content over the girl's reactions Hoseok gave out the upcoming week's schedule, going out and trying to find dresses, jewelry, makeup, and every fashionable/ up today item for young ladies. The girls were feeling excited and nervous about going inside the castle and becoming acquainted with other young ladies. While Hoseok felt nervous and a little scared going to the ball, the main reason was that at the ball he will try to find a suitable partner for his girls. He has to make sure his girls are safe and in good hands before he decides to leave to find his own life. 

The next day Hoseok left to the marker with his girls trying to find a suitable dress or at least a complimentary item. However, once he entered the market Hoseok couldn't help but the ground. He had seen many stores out of service, many girls fighting for a dress, and many of the other owners closing their store for the day. Afraid that those crazy young ladies will trash their place, making them lose instead of winning money. Feeling as if it would be faster to find something suitable for the girls if they separated Hoseok gave the three girls three hours to find something and meet in the small flower shop they always visit right after the three hours are over. If they had no luck in finding something suitable they had to not worry about it they will try it again tomorrow. Having been set free the three girls wasted no time in nodding and running away to the stores that caught their eyes. Feeling a little shocked about the girl's reaction Hoseok just let out a small little sight and shook his head slowly with a small smile plaster on his beautiful face. ( author: kya he is so beautiful...I can just imagine that smile >0<.)

After having gone in and out of almost half of the market with no break Hoseok felt tired and stressed. Looking up the huge clock tower in the market Hoseok noticed that he still had one more before having to meet with his girls. Feeling a little lost Hoseok couldn't help giving up on shopping and finding a small place to have something to eat. Finding a small and comfy little cafe/cake shop Hoseok felt relief, he finally had the opportunity to rest his tired feet. Seating down and ordering a small cake Hoseok couldn't help but remember that crazy young girl who pushed him down and stole the small hat he had found. Having the memories fresh in mind Hoseok couldn't help but grumble a little while still shoving the spoonful of cake in his smallmouth. Having spent a few minutes in the cafe Hoseok felt much more refresh and ready to go back to the battlefield going on in the small shops. 

But who would have thought that right after exciting the small cafe Hoseok came face to face with Hise girls pummeling a guy to the ground, while Ellas stand to the side terrified, and two other gentlemen trying to stop his girls while they 'accidentally' got either kicked or scratched by his two girls. Feeling a little flabbergasted Hoseok just ran towards the girls and with one harsh pulled he separated the girls and the guys on the floor. Feeling a harsh pull the girls were ready to punch the mother F* who had pulled them. But seeing the one that they were about to bad mouth was their mother with an angry and scary face they sucked in a cold breath while looking away with a  guilty face.

Seeing that their mother was angry the girls did not waste any time in telling the reason why they started to fight. Seeing how their mother's face softened by various degrees the girls let out a small breath they didn't even know they were holding in. Finally understanding that the only reason they fought was to defend their soft half-sister Ella while trying to protect her from harassment and the two nasty, perverted old man Hoseok couldn't help but feel proud and happy about his two beautiful daughters. Seeing on How the two old men were trying to run away Hoseok quickly stood up and softly pulled his two girls behind him while grabbing the two mans collars and pushing them to the ground. Seeing how the two old men were protesting and yelling about how they were innocent Hoseok couldn't help but feel discussed and completely forgot to control his strength when he hit them on the neck trying to quiet them down. 

Coming back to reality Hoseok relaised that a small crowd started to form around them, not wanting to ruin his girl's image Hoseok cleared out his throat and asked one of the girls to call a guard. Turning around ready to talk to his other girls Hoseok felt a stronghold on his right wrist, turning around he came face to face with a tall and handsome man. The man gave a small conflicted look at Hoseok while he looked at the two old men on the ground. Looking at the hand holding his wrist Hoseok couldn't help but frown. Seeing that the man had no intention of letting go Hoseok frowned harder and harshly pulled his hand. 

Before Hoseok got to scream at the tall man His girl came back with a guard, feeling a little surprised at how fast the guard came Hoseok made his way to him and explained the situation about the two old men. Not wasting time or looking back at the confused tall man Hoseok just grabbed the three girls and quickly left the market. Feeling a small headache forming Hoseok couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes while slowly rubbing his temples. After a few seconds of trying to minimize his headache, Hoseok opened up his eyes and accidentally made eye contact with a tall young man who flinched a little when they locked eyes. Feeling as if he knew the young man from somewhere Hoseok stopped his steps and attentively looked at the young man for a few seconds. After a few seconds of trying to remember Hoseok just gave up the strange feeling forming in his chest and instead gave the young man a soft small smile, while restarting his steps once again and walking back to the carriage.

Without even noticing the change of expression of the young man as he slowly moved his gaze from his fidgety hands to the gentle "women" back. Remembering such a dazzling smile the young couldn't help but blush and shyly play with his fingers, like a schoolgirl about to confess to her crush. Slowly looking back up the young man's eyes couldn't be gradually darkened in excitement, as he happily imagined his future.
