NICOLE'S POV
As we enter a section of the royal palace, the familiar sound of music invades my ears. Katharina would be playing this type of song when she's in deep thought usually when she has to go through a huge pile of paperwork.
"Don't be nervous. You look amazing tonight." Ava whispers into my ear as we wait for our turn to be announced.
"So do you."
She smiles.
"But I think Katharina's the only daring one here. She didn't follow the theme at all."
"It's black and white not cream and red."
Katharina smirks. "I like to be different than others." She turns to me. "You look pale."
"This is the first time I've felt my heart pumping this hard. I was not even this nervous for my exams." I try to calm my nerves.
"Relax. Everything will be okay. Don't worry about anything. Ava and I will take care of everything. Heads up, Hannah is coming our way." Katharina says before she slides her arms around my waist.
They both seem like telling everyone I am off limits as they literally make sure everyone knows I belong to them. Well, I could get use to this. I mean being sandwiched by two of the most beautiful women in the history of mankind does have its perks.
"Katharina ..." Hannah calls out to her. She seems so formal now that she's in such a beautiful mermaid dress.
Katharina decides to ignore her calling.
"Duchess Katharina Grimaldi. I apologise for being rude to you and .... her the other day. I was out of place, it's my fault. Please forgive me, your humble friend."
Katharina finally turns her face to Hannah who seems to be smiling now that she gained her attention. "I have no friends after they stabbed me not long ago . Be gone before I ask the guards to escort you out of the palace like the criminal you are."
Hannah is taken aback but does as told.
I feel bad though. "That was not necessary. She was just apologising."
Katharina faces me. "For someone who's apologising, she didn't even call your name nor your title like she did with mine. She wasn't being sincere. I hate hypocrites. I despise them."
I sigh. Well, I've only known her for nearly a week, and yet, I still don't know what's going on inside her mind.
It's almost our turn when I hear a familiar voice coming from behind us. It's both Veronica and Fiona walking and waving at us excitedly. By now, I notice Katharina's demeanour change. I don't know how to explain it, but it's different.
"Vero? And Fiona... oh boy." Ava sighs.
"Look at what the cat dragged in. Fiona of all people. What are you doing here? This ball is for important people only, and the last time I checked, you're not important."
Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is new! I never thought Katharina could be sarcastic like that!
"Ahhh ... Duchess of Astor, Katharina Verosha Grimaldi."
Verosha? Is that her middle name? It's beautiful.
Fiona looks from her head to toes. "Still not pregnant I see."
