Rosetta's POV
Going to a masquerade, meeting your one true love, devoting your life to your partner, getting married too quickly, killing yourself because of bad timing, such a...tragedic romance.... Unfortunately, this is not Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

"Princess Rosetta, be my date!" Leon said demandingly in the middle of our training, resulting in me accidentally hitting him with a floating broom.

"Sure." I said casually. That's what the king wants anyways.

Leon was gently rubbing his head where the broom had hit him. "Great..." He said with a painful and crooked smile.

By the end of the day, I went back to my room, after chatting with my sisters. Just as I enter the room, the only thing I found was a flying cat searching through my closet. There was a complete silence for a second before Kieran stuttered, "P- Princess, it's not wh- what you think." With a smile, I beat him up.

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM, YOU PERVERTED CAT!" I threw him out before shutting the door.

The masquerade party starts tomorrow.... What am I going to wear....
------------------
The next morning, when I woke up, I found a beautiful gown and a mask hung inside the closet. Attached to it was a letter.

'I apologize for Kieran's disturbance yesterday. He was just checking your closet to determine the perfect colour and style of the gown that is to your liking. Please wear this gown tonight as well as the mask, Princess Rosetta.'
-------------------
"Focus on the target and relax. Having a clear mind can help you shoot better." Leon said beside me.

Today, I'm learning archery! It was difficult to adjust the first time but after a few more times, I was able to hit a bulls' eye!

"Alright, today's training is done." Leon announced.

Luciano and Alden announced that too, which made us...confused. Though we wanted to ask a lot of questions, the princes didn't give us a chance to talk.

Leon whistled for which his 'broom' came flying his way. "Hop on, Princess Rosetta." I hesitantly sat behind him and held onto his shoulders. Hugging him from behind was not a choice. It'll be too embarrassing! Well, at least for me...

"May I ask where we are going?" Madeleine asked Luciano who was flying beside us.

"Hmm....everywhere?" He answered.

Alden chuckled. "We're just gonna fly around. To let you relax before the masquerade. That's all."

I sighed. The masquerade... The only thing I like about masquerades is probably that I can eat a lot without people recognizing me. Which is helpful.

"Faster.... Let's go faster, Leon...." I whined.

"Okay. Hold on tight." He answered and when I did, we started racing through the clouds. It felt...awesome! Even though my hair turned into a complete mess...

Once that's over, the princes brought us back to the castle and I hurriedly went back to my room. 4 more hours till the party....
-----------------
After wearing my mask, I opened the door slowly. Surprisingly, Leon was standing by the window pane across my room. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him. Either because I was shocked, or I was just entranced by his appearance for the party. He stepped closer towards me and held out his right hand.

"Shall we go, Princess Rosetta?" He said, smiling down at me.

Now. What interesting events are going to happen in the party....
