A Clash of Royal Proportions: The Competitions Begin

Chapter 6

In Sierra's chambers Sierra was pacing back and forth trying to control her temper, but was failing miserably.

"Argh! That arrogant, pompous, long winded, good for nothing, freak show of a lord! How dare he treat me like that? I am personally going to make his life a living hell!" Sierra said furiously. Not only was her honor at stake, but her pride as well.

"Sierra, you know you can't do that and you know it, the queen would be furious and you know what she can and will do if you so much as batter an eyelid wrong!" Mica said as she watched her lady pacing back and forth.

"Argh! You're right as usual Mica, well better get ready, I don't want Mr. High and Mighty to wait too long, and I know mother will be furious if I don't look my best. Why does my mother have to be so infuriating?" Sierra said as she threw up her arms in frustration, and went to find a dress to wear for the ball. While Mica was already dressed in a forest green dress waiting for her lady to get ready.

She went to the closet to find herself a dress, and pulled out a black and blue colored ball gown that matched her hair and began getting ready. She had pulled her hair into a high braid that fell down her back with sapphire jewels braided into her hair.

Suddenly there was a knock on Sierra's door.

"Who is it?" She asked from inside her door.

"Sierra it's me, may I come in?" Shiko said from her side of the door.

"You know you can always come in." Sierra said as she opened her door to let her in. Shiko was wearing a blood orange dress with her hair tied half way up.

"It's almost time for the ball, are you ready?" Asked Shiko

"Yep, I sure am. Let's head to the ballroom and wait for the others." Sierra said as they gathered themselves together and headed down to the ballroom.

Selena, Doshi, and Kasumi finally made their way into Selena's wing to get ready for the ball. Each went into their prospective rooms and began getting ready.

Selena was ready wearing a beautiful halter top gray dress that started out light gray and ended up an even lighter gray at the bottom. She had her hair put half way up with braids that were twisted with light grey ribbons that was wrapped around her head to fall down her back.

Kasumi had finished getting ready a short time after Selena, and was dressed in a white dress that had a wine colored lace that was put over the top of the dress that also went down the side of the dress, and her blue hair was put into a high pony tail on top her head with a long wine colored ribbon hanging from the base of the pony tail.

Doshi was now finished dressing and ready for the females to come out their rooms. He was dressed in a black hakama and haori with a light grey juban underneath to match the bottom of Selena's dress. He had added a little bit darker grey cape to match the top of Selena's dress, and a sword strapped to his side.

After both females were ready they greeted Doshi as they came out of Selena's chambers and they all began walking towards the ball room where they met up with Shay Lyn and Ai and Eris with her maids Suki and Yashira. Together they all continued on towards the ballroom.

When the ballroom came into view they all noticed Sierra and her maids Shiko and Mica waiting to enter the ballroom.

"Hey Selena. You ready for the ball?" Sierra asked as the group walked up to them.

"Yes I am." Selena said nodding her head.

"Good then let's get going." Eris said as waited for the door to open.

"Are you sure you're going to be ok with this Doshi. I don't want to do anything to make you upset with me?" Selena asked Doshi in her Inu voice which only came out as yips and growls to others listening.
