LANEY'S POV

I head to Alia's room to go get ready for the ball with the dress in my hands.

"So did you find anything?" I hear her as I enter. I guess she's in her closet.

"I did." As soon as I said that, she emerges from the closet and has a huge grin.

"Finally!"

"Hehe, very funny. I'm gonna start getting ready." The ball is only in a few hours. Maybe 4 or 3.

"Alright. And to save you trouble, I'm gonna leave you some earrings and some shoes. Cause I'm going to be busy with my hair. I swear my curls can never be tamed." Hehe.

"Ok then. And please don't do anything crazy."

"No promises." Oh Alia.

*******

I was dressed and ready to go. The shoes and earrings Alia left me matched perfectly with the dress. I had my hair down and feeling fresh. I just felt like a whole new person.

So without wasting more time, I start heading to the ballroom. With every step I took, I felt more nervous each time. But I don't know why though. There was nothing for me to worry about.

I make it to the doors on the entryway and take a deep breath. Calm down Laney, calm down. Nothing is going to happen tonight.

I open the door and I am met with grand music and a crowd of people. Even though I've been in this castle for a week, I never went inside the ballroom. And now I see how beautiful it looks like.

There was detailing all over the walls and ceiling and beautiful paintings hanging. On some pillars, vases stood there looking dashing. But what impressed me the most was at the end. Two staircases leading up to a platform. I guess this where the king and queen go to announce things.

I just go and walk around so I won't just be standing. I mingle and find some interesting people. I managed to talk to one of the councilors, a wealthy merchant, one of their trade partners, and more that I can't remember what they were. I guess they invited more people than just the kingdom.

The music was loud and the atmosphere of the ball was amazing. I don't think I've ever been this happy to be at a ball. Everyone around me has having a great time, as was I.
