Chapter 12 : A way to attend the ball

Marlin looked at her family getting ready glamorously for the party this night. She pouted as she wanted to go too . But it's already decided to the point among the family members that she won't go  tonight at the ball after Loren said .

After the count got fully dressed up for the night he then looked at her daughter pouting continuously and looking disappointed saying , "I still don't understand why Loren told her not to go..."

His wife told, "Maybe it's a sibling matter we shouldn't interfere with as parents . Besides Marlin just came of age she can attend many parties as she want now and find a good husband for herself hoho ."

"Well that's true .....", Marlin's father also pouted some he wanted his daughter to attend as well .

Loren came and patted his father from behind , "you'll thank me later for this...."
.
.
.

As they were ready Loren looked at Marlin before going . She thought, " I knew my brother wouldn't abandon me hehe" Loren had a smug look , "See ya sister have fun in home !" Then they went away in their carriage to the royal palace .

Marlin looked dumbfounded . Turns out her cute brother turned out to be such a devil which really astonished her seeing this scene he created before going . Well whatever he just purely wanted her to stay away from them for her own good so she didn't argue back .

But....
That doesn't mean that's stopping her from going there . But how ?

Maybe it was a luck that day her bestie Sasha came to meet me before going to the ball . If she knew I wasn't allowed she wouldn't even come . Yeah that's my bestie giving priority to the situation first :) but me in circumstances.

After seeing me in my night gown it didn't take her time to understand I wasn't going to the ball tonight. She gave a blunt smile saying she just came to say hello and leave . She was in a hurry to leave .A facial expression meant to say I accidentally came here-

I tucked her dress before she was escaping .

"Well , well .. where are you going darling ?", I asked with a level of curiosity.
.
.
"I-I ...you know to the b-b...", she stuttered .
"Don't worry we have enough time . Complete your sentence I'm free whole time ."

In the end Sasha gave up . She sighed, "I can't really deal with you . Now what ?"

I went into deep thought and then finally I had a idea, "you know ..."

Sasha paused me saying , "Wait before you say."
She pinched her forehead thinking she's gotten into this mess because of me . But she can't escape though can she? :P

"You're not actually planning to come as my partner right . Wait haha what am I even saying! That's not even in the option lol"

I grabbed her hands tightly and smiled at her, "You really know what I'm thinking . No wonder you're my best friend!"

Seeing my touched look she paused .
"........."
"...?....."
"It's not time to joke .."
"I'm not joking though?"

-After a moment of silence -

Sasha started bouncing me out , "Are you out of my mind !!?! I haven't even got a husband let alone a lover and you want me to make people understand I'm into girls ???"
.
.

In a party when you're invited you're allowed to bring yourself a partner . In case indirectly it means you and that partner have some sort of relationship. Usually people bring their lovers or fiancée as a partner to the party .

I holded Sasha, "Calm down girl... you didn't even let me finish my words ."
