The Royal Ball

Chapter one, The entry

She, Carmen, has been invited to a ball. It is being hosted by King Kari, who is renowned for being a very cold and stoic man. He's married to Queen Elara, who is much the same. However, there are many rumours that they don't love eachother and are married out of duty, and that they're son Prince Felix, is not made for the throne. None of these rumours have been confirmed or denied.As she enters the ballroom, she sees golden chandeliers and nobles in fine clothing.
"Finnaly, this is a one time change, do it right Sedah." She talks to herself. She walks to the beautifully dressed food table and looks at the drunk people, she walks a little around and pick pockets some people, even pretents to fal just to grab someones necklace. Then she just grabs two small dishes and walks to a table to eat. On her way to the table she hears two nobles talking: Noble 1: "Have you heard the latest rumours?"

Noble 2: "No? Please, do share"

Noble 1: "They say that King Kari and Queen Elara have a loveless marriage. Neither of them want it, they were forced into it by duty"

Noble 2: gasps "How scandalous"

Noble 1: "That's not all... apparently, King doesn't even love women, but men"

Noble 2: gasps again

She murmurs to herself. "Rumors" And walks to a lonely table. The nobles notice her.

Noble 2: "What an odd one"

Noble 1: "And very pretty too. I wonder if she's someone important, or just some randomer?"

She goes sit down, the nobles go over to her too.

Noble 1: Pardon me, I don't mean to be rude, but... who are you?"

"Miss chic name the fifth." She answers sarcasticaly while she studies the nobles for items she could steal. The nobles look at each other in disbelief
Noble 1: "Uhh... Miss C-Chic Name? Did I hear that correctly?" She rolls her eyes. "Idiots, it was a joke. Name's Kim." (For readers who havent read the description, her fake name is Kim, her real name is Carmen)

Noble 2: "Kim, hm? Interesting name"

Noble 1: "Very unusual. Where did you come from?"

She answers, coldy. "The town, here."
The nobles giggle.

Noble 2: So you're a peasant?
She rolls her eyes, she knows where this is going. "Yeah, have a problem with that?"

Noble 1: "I suppose you'll never be as high class as us in your life though, will you?"
She smirks. "Gladly not."
Noble 2: "You think yourself better than us? Just because you don't have a title?"
She laughs for a moment. "Well... everywhere i look is your kind gossiping, while i live the life of my life."
Noble 1:  "Oh? And what is the 'life of your life'? Sitting alone at parties and making sarcastic jokes at the expense of others?"
She rolls her eyes and stands up. "Working with the family, getting a bit dirty with the little ones, go for walks in the forest-."

Noble 1: "Ah, working. Commoner work, then."

Noble 2: "How quaint, working away and walking through the woods like savages. We nobles are much above that."
She smirks, kinda evil. "Sometimes some killing nobles."
The Two nobles sit up na little straighter, their expression becoming just a little more serious and scared.
Noble 1: "Assassination, hm?"
"Yes, sugar, so if you dont want to be hunted down I should run."
She grabs a knife that was strapped to her thigh and points it at the nobles that quickly run away and she hides the knife again.
"Fools."
