Cindy's appartement: 9.00 AM

Cindy received a weird kind of card in her mailbox. It consisted out of blood red paper, decorated with golden edges and two hearts, drawn on the left and right corner below a small text. "This is new..."

His Majesty and his son hereby invite all civilians of Lucis to the first Valentine's Day ball on the 14th of February.

All shall be expected at the Citadel at the hour of ten in the evening.

Ending that subject the two girls were thinking of a way to properly ask Prompto to the ball. Holly suddenly stopped. "Shouldn't he be asking you?" Cindy stopped thinking about ideas now too.

Cindy stayed quiet for a second and then continued. "I think I know how to ask him..."
