"Mother! I can't with this outfit!!" I yelled clearly agitated at my mother for the atrocities she was putting me through "darlin! You mustn't whine so much, this corset shall snatch the waist and at the same time you know enhance your ladiesss" my mother said adding a certain flair to the last word, she did a tiny wiggle with her shoulders, which provided me enough hint to realise who she meant by "ladies" "MOTHER!! YOUR NOT HELPING" I say as a red Hue covers my cheeks adding a cherry on top with my cheeky makeup, Pinkish eyeshadow Under eye and over as well, Fancy eyelashes and the use of holographic shimmer on my eyes, a nudish lipstick to go well with my rosy cheeks. "Suck it in!!" As my mother tightened my corset even more i Watched myself in the Huge mirrior right across from where i was standing, I could View my entire form there, as the sun seemed to set and the cold start to settle I found myself zoning out again. "A perfect lady!" My mother said as she scanned me from head to toe, in a pretty blush Pink dress and my hair in a half up half down, I mean yeah not exactly my style but why not.

As the cold Wind settles deep in my bones I shiver, my fur scarf doing less than nothing in keeping me warm, the walk wasn't long but truly not something i was fond of, I was 23 now, my mother keen on marrying me off, Me? I had no plans of love or marriage, I wanted to earn, get a job at the royal palace, buy my own house, being a housewife was the last thing I'll do for survival. Then you must wonder how did i agree to this?? Welllll my mother did make a deal with me that if i attend this ball she'll allow me to at least try for a internship at the Palace, my destination for today's ball.

The Night was young, as I stepped in the palace grounds, A cold breeze caused me to shiver in my bones, I whimpered, regretting not bringing warmer clothes with me, as I accepted my fate and continued to walk through the cold my eyes scanned the surroundings, the palace rising beyond the sky, a cemented pathway in the middle leading directly to the entrance with beautiful flowers around the left over place, this looked no less than a paradise, the flowers scenting the area with a earthy musk, that seemed pleasent to smell, before i could Let the flowers distract me, I feel someone Bump into me, as I struggle to find my balance again, I find the stranger look up at me and muttering a sorry running away, What a rude fellow! I throught, Although now when i think of it, they had adorned royal Silks, Huh must be a high guard or something, as I ignore and make my way into the palace.

(Fairytale Violin version playing cause why not!!)

The moment i step inside the palace i am bombarded by the amount of people that are Dressed to their best, honestly I feel very underdressed, but Oh well here goes nothing.

"oh CRAP I AM LATE!!" I think as I make my way towards the palace! The princess herself is Late to the ball her family is hosting!. Honestly the reason i got so late is cause the king decided that I'll wear a FRIKIN dress! Like WHAT no!. More than that he wants me to chose a bride now! As i run through the cemented pathway, my eyes roam around the flowers along side the road, Lillies, roses, the ground lit by sheer moonlight giving it a mystical glow. I get distracted and bump into a girl Yep brilliant JUST AMAZING! trying to steady myself i look back to find the lady i bumped into rather attractive-
VERY GOOD VI, BUMPING IN A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN? I yell a sorry and make my way into the palace in a hurry.

My eyes find the high pedestal Where the king and his daughter stand, Awaiting the arrival of all the invited people, honestly I don't know what I am doing here, I have never felt so lost. I make my way towards the corner, with no intent to interact with anyone, I find a place to sit, Fetching something to munch on to keep me occupied. The entire Hall is HUGE. With windows on each side and a huge golden chandelier In the middle, lite up with a million candles, on the other side of the room was the divided staircase somehow all royal palaces had in common, i mean what's the purpose of FRIKIN 2 staircase?? . The food and drinks had a seperate corner where I was currently siting. Although i do fancy the music quite a lot, I have always been fond of Violin.
I was on my 5th breadstick when Suddenly the music stopped and the King stood up, a sign that it was time for his speech. It's a blurry memory i don't remember what he said, all i remember is that he is on a quest to find a bride for his daughter and blah blah blah, I couldn't care less. The music resumes as the dances start, blurry figures dance across the room all dressed up, in hopes of gaining the attention of the princess. The thought strikes me, what if I gain her attention, i could marry her and everything i mean. it's a bit different from a initial plan but maybe it could work. I get up from my corner, fix my hair and walk towards the main dance floor, As my eyes search for the princess I am pulled in the dance floor by someone, with a yelp i try to steady myself. Just to find myself face to face with the same girl who bumped into me, "It's you!!" I say angrily, still sour from the encounter.
