Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 262 - Royal Court Masquerade (1)

The white van slowly drove to the asphalt streets. A crowd of reporters and journalists were already standing on the side with their notes, pens, and cameras out. Every one of them came out not to play around. Today was the Royal Court Masquerade, a ball in which only a few lucky people could attend by being personally handed an invitation letter. The rest of the guests, who didn't need to be given invitation cards, were of course, those of who belonged to the royal ancestries and relatives.

Several vans like the one Jennie was in lined up in front of the tall, metal gate that spread from one end to another. If one were to closely observe it, you wouldn't be able to find where the entire palace would start and end.

"Call me if anything happens. You will be staying in the Palace for a few days so be careful." The palace was already isolated from the outside world, only those who were given permission could stroll around as they wanted. Rosé was worried that something would happen inside and she couldn't go inside when it happened.

Jennie withdrew her gaze from the crowd and turned to look at her instead. "I know. I'm not foolish enough to offend anyone inside the palace. So, you don't have to worry about me so much."

The true purpose of her attending the ball was to make connections as well as to find out the identity of the person who sent the card to her.

It would be detrimental if she ended up achieving neither and also offend someone inside the party. Jennie already knew this and didn't think she'd be stupid enough to do that too.

Fortunately, she could look around without exposing her identity for the first night of the Royal Court Masquerade since everyone has to wear their own masks and special attire.

"Make sure to call me, okay?"

"I will. Take care of Leo while I'm not there."

"Of course!"

The car soon stopped before the iron gates. Two guards wearing a specialized uniform stepped forward and knocked on the window.

Rosé pulled down the window and showed the invitation card before pointing behind her, where Jennie was sitting.

The guards who checked that this was indeed an invited guest, slowly nodded their heads before making an okay gesture to the one pulling the gates open. The car drove past the iron gate and the guards as well as the crowds gathered outside. Nobody knew that a certain popular international actress was invited and entered the royal palace as a dignified guest.

If the world found out… it would make headlines and stay in the hot topic for several weeks for people to talk about.

"This is where we part. Make sure to take care of yourself," Rosé repeatedly told her like a worried hen towards its chick.

Jennie leaned forward to give the other a kiss on the cheek before she waited for another guard to pull the car door open.

A white, creamy castle that stood in the middle of the grounds looked herculian compared to the castles that Jennie had been to while filming in some movies. They couldn't even compare to how beautiful and grand the castle appeared. Ivy, roses, and trees of varying names and kinds surrounded the white castle like walls. The rolling greens and forests were too wide that she barely saw the distant line where it ended.

Stifling a gasp, Jennie was led inside the castle, led by a woman in a maid frilly uniform.

"Welcome to the Palace of Rosa, milady," the maid said as she gestured for Jennie to follow her inside.

Palace of Roses… No wonder the surrounding area was too colorful and smelled like flowers. The palace was precisely bathing in roses.

As much as Jennie wanted to admire the sceneries, the statues, paintings, and other furnishings with prices she might never find out, she had to calm down first and start acting like she was no less than any other guests invited to the ball.
