Chris
I can't believe that yesterday was hell.

Now that today is the ball, we were on our way to the palace in a carriage in courtesy of the princesses.

"Oh Monique, we're going to see Kaye..."

At the entrance, we were welcomed by guards in suits and three women. Antonette, Mikaela and a woman who was extremely...hot.

We stepped out of the carriage and Vanessa dashed to hug the woman.

"KAYE!!"

The guy's jaws dropped.

"Lady Vanessa, long time no see as well." Kaye hugged her back. "Now where were the men that thought of me as a rapist? I suppose they're with you."

The guys curled up in a ball and shivered.

Kaye let out a sigh and looked at them. "I'll be needing an escort." She paused briefly before sighing again. "I forgive you for treating me the way you would treat not so feminine women. And, I'm sorry for not acting so feminine."

The guys looked up and smiled at her. "We're sorry too," they almost said in unison.

"I would like to take courtesy of escorting the lovely knight in her golden dress, not really a ball gown but you need to be able to move around in case of danger, am I right, Lady Kaye?" A man walked up to us, bowing.

"I've been trying to avoid you all morning, Tristian." Kaye said with a bitter tone towards the man.

Tristian looked very... alright. He had his brown hair swept to the side, dimples showing as he grinned at the knight before him. He was already in his suit, and a sword was kept by his side. He looked ready and it was only six hours till the ball.

"Why such cruel words have pierced my already broken heart." He walked towards the glaring beast and proceeded to take her hand. "May I dare have the honours of escorting you to the Winter's Ball tonight, my lady?"

He brought her hand towards his lips but she pulled away almost immediately.

"I don't really have a choice do I? Considering the upsetting fact that you're going to scare away any man I'm with." She straightened her dress and turned towards the princesses. "Your royal highnesses, I shall proceed with my patrolling around the palace. But before that, I must escort these young men to the dressing room for their suits." She looked at the guys and it sent shivers down their spine. "Though, would you like me or someone to escort you?"

"No need but thank you." Mikaela took me and Vanessa's hands. "Let's go."

We entered the familiar palace halls and into the gemstone door of the golden blonde princess's room.

"Welcome back, your highness." Two women and a man– who gave off this vibe that was so similar to a gay's– greeted Mikaela as we walked in.

Mikaela gave them a nod of acknowledgement, with a smile. "These are the two that I made the suit and gown for!"

"I can sense it in the air!" The I think he's gay but it's rude to assume guy. He paced himself in my direction and placed a hand in front of him that looked like he was oh he's asking for a handshake. "I'm Alecks, a living proof on why you shouldn't name your children your name and partners name combined."

"I'm Christopher, nice to meet you." I shook his hand. "What names were they?"

"Aleshka and my mother's nickname, Becks." Alecks let out a sigh. "So, Chris, let's get started." He wriggled his eyebrows seductively, or it looked seductive, and I cringed in the inside. I looked over at Vanessa, who was happily chatting with her assistant.
