1. Ferdinanda and her mask painted with colorful butterflies

The year 1777 was going by. The Duchess Ferdinanda was sitting on her bed with a canopy thinking about her beloved Prince Wrob. Her thoughts were a little haunted, because her beloved was the next King destined for the throne of Arboleda, a distant kingdom. He had Princess Laura as his fiancée and future Queen of the Arboleda Kingdom, but he had fallen madly in love with the Duchess Ferdinanda, in fact, he broke all the rules to see her from afar and imagined someday being able to meet her in person and be close to her lips; give her a fleeting and passionate kiss in the forests of the kingdom. Of course, the duchess did not know this for sure. Wrob, the prince in love, tried at all costs to see his beloved duchess every day, in the middle distance, while she took long walks through the gardens of her castle, and also observed him in the distance. In the garden there were many species of flowers and plants of beautiful colors that gave off seductive aromas to lose your breath; in addition to a beautiful stream crossing the flowerbed and several species of birds had their habitat in the magnificent castle. On the other hand, Ferdinanda liked to organize masquerade parties in the halls of his royal palace. At her court, banquets of all kinds were prepared to feed her guests during the festivities. The palace cook always involved the royal lineage in preparations for the banquet; the duchess carefully chose all the most valuable ingredients and meats for the festive event. For the feast this time, the palace messenger went to the kingdom of Arboleda to take the official invitation to Prince Wrob. —Open the doors! — The ushers shouted from the turret —, a messenger has arrived! The messenger appeared before the Prince's adviser to take his invitation to the great party organized by the Duchess. When the day came, trumpets sounded in the Duchess's royal castle. Ferdinanda was more beautiful than ever: her long brown hair undulated with every step and she wore a blue dress with gold stitching. The seductive girl covered her face with a mask painted with colorful butterflies that seemed to give life to each movement. Upon the announcement of the arrival of His Highness, Prince Wrob and Princess Laura, everyone there bowed, the violinists began to play, and the dance began. Ferdinanda was surprised to see the Prince with his future wife, she felt a chill that made her tremble from head to toe. However, she held the emotions behind her mask painted with colorful butterflies. They all danced in circles and exchanged positions, bowing at each dance. The prince leaned down and asked to dance with the duchess, took her hand, and they began to dance. She couldn't hide her charm, he looked into her big eyes and was struck by her beauty. She fell in love from the first moment she saw him, but this mutual love would never have been admitted by royalty. —May I know your name? — Said the Prince. —Ferdinanda. —Is a pleasure, Duchess, I am captivated by so much beauty! She smiled behind the mask and very elegantly, after the dance, escaped to her garden. The prince was surprised to see the Duchess running away, so he found an excuse to follow her through the long corridors of the palace, although it took him quite a while to find her. —Prince, are you lost? — Asked a maid. —I am looking for the Duchess. —She surely is in her garden. Let me tell you. The prince ran through the halls following her instructions. He opened a large glass door leading to the immense garden, went down the stairs, and was lost among the trees and flower plantations. —Where are you? — He yelled. — Ferdinanda, where are you?
