I shower quickly, then do my hair and makeup. All together, that takes me about an hour and thirty minutes. My hair is done up in a half up half down go with braids wrapping around the back, all of it wavey. I have Black and Silver on my eyes lids and Dark red lips. I walk over to my closet wrapped in my bathrobe. I know exactly what I'm going to wear. I pull out a black dress with floor length parted sleeves and a high neck. The shoulders have small metal flowers that lead up the neck, and small metal leave that flow down the upper arm. The dress also has a thigh slit. I grab a pair of matching black heels.

I get dressed into the outfit then put on some of my favourite perfume. It smells of Vanilla and Musk, with a touch of Sandalwood. I walk over to my crown stand and pull out a black stone tiara. I place it on my head then step in front of the mirror. As I'm getting ready, there is a knock at my door. "Y/n, it's me. I'm going to head down to the Ball. Meet me there." Leonora says. "Okay, my darling. I'll be down in like ten minutes." I reply. "Okay, my love. I can't wait to see you." she calls back. I smile. I do a few touch ups on my make-up, then head down to the Hall.

I stop at the door and take a deep breath as the wolves push it open. All eyes turn to me. Gasps come from almost everyone. "Woah." Hort whispers. "You're Aunt is gorgeous." Sophie tells Tedros. Leonora turns to me, stunned. I walk through the door. She hesitates, then walks towards me. "Y/n, you look- breath taking." she manages. I laugh. "You don't look to bad yourself." she blushes. She bows, offering me a hand. I bow and take it. We walk over to Dovey. "Y/n, Lesso, you guys look fantastic." she says, almost in awe. "Come, Leonora honey, let's walk around a bit." I say. I loop my arm around hers. As we're walking, I overhear Hester talking to Beatrix. "They are together!" Beatrix whispers to her date. "I told you!" Hester replies.

We walk over to Tedros and Sophie. Tedros has his fathers old crown on. "Lovely crown, Prince Tedros." I say, bowing. "It was Dads." he says. I smile. "I know. I got it made for him to pass down through sons." I tell him. His eyes widen. "Really?" he asks. I nod. "You guys look amazing." I say, looking at Sophie's dress. "Thank you. You look absolutely stunning, Princess Y/n." Sophie says. I smile. "She does, doesn't she?" Leonora says. "Your crown. I've seen it somewhere." Tedros says. "You would've. It was my mothers, your grandmothers. It's been passed through princesses for decades." I tell him. "The picture in the castle library." He exclaims. I smile. "It's the one Grandmother was wearing." He says. "Indeed." I reply.

We finish our conversation then continue walking around the hall. Anemone sees us. "What's this?" she asks shocked. I look at Leonora. "We're here together." she says. Anemone sighs. "Damn it. Clarissa was right." she says. As we're talking, music starts to play. All of the students start to dance, merging together. Leonora and I walk over towards the wall and watch. "You're so fucking beautiful, Y/n." Leonora says over the music. "Oh please, when was the last time you looked in a mirror?" I joke. She laughs.

As we're talking, one of my favourite songs start playing. I smile widely. "What?" she asks. "This is my favourite song." I reply. Hester and Beatrix overhear me talking to Leonora and pull me into the crowd. "Dance with us, Miss Pendragon!" they yell. I look back at Leonora who is laughing. "Yeah, Aunt Y/n. Dance!" Tedros encourages. I give in and start dancing with the students. Dovey walks over to Leonora. "Where'd your date go?" she asks. Leonora points to the crowd. "She got stolen from me." Leonora laughs. They watch me dance with the students. "Oh my." Dovey laughs.

After a while, Leonora starts pushing through students to get to me. "Sorry students, but I want my date back." she declares. "Hold on, Leono-" I start. She literally sweeps me off my feet and starts walking outside. Students burst into laughter. "Bye, Miss Pendragon!' I hear from over my shoulder. I wave with a laugh. Leonora walks out onto the field by the lake and puts me down. "Why?" I whine. "I want you all to myself." she states. I smirk. "Too bad, my darling. You have to share." I reply. "No I don't." she smirks, pulling me in by the waist. Just as we're about to kiss, I put a finger on her lips. "We should get back to the dance." I tease. She groans. "You're joking." she says. I shake my head then break free from her hold. I grab her hand, intertwining out fingers, then start walking back to the Ball.
