A/N: I was introduced to this song that was based off of vocaloid. Thanks to my friend, I was able to make a story that involved around the lyrics. I'll put the lyrics in a YouTube video if you wish to listen while you read. It will be in Japanese though and won't line up with the lyrics I wrote in italics!
This is like an AU that involves Cinderella, but with a lot of angst and murder to sum it up. I hope you enjoy!

Tonight was the night of a masquerade ball that was hosted by an anonymous prince. All the highest aristocrats, including the men, wanted to have the chance to talk to this lovely prince that was known through out the kingdom. Not had no one seen this man's face, but they do not even know his name nor origin.
It fits for a masquerade ball, for everyone would have to wear masks to hide their face from each other. It was what the prince wanted after all.
The red haired male, who was the prince, placed on his mask. His golden hues were visible as they reflected off in the mirror he was looking at in his room. His eyes were dull and lonely. There was a reason for such a ball to be hosted.
"Saeyoung?" The teal haired male knocked on the opened door as he entered the room. "Are you ready for the ball? The guests are arriving quite quickly." The male that spoke wore a black Anubis mask.
The prince stood up and turned over to see Jihyun. "You should say my name aloud when the guests are so close, then." Saeyoung replies as he wore a red mask that was in the shape of a cat. It matched his hair as he wore a bland tuxedo. He didn't want to be too fancy after all.
Jihyun was one of the rare people that knew the prince's identity. He was part of the royal court after all. "My sincere apologies." He says his sorry as he bowed down for forgiveness. "May I escort you to the lower floor?"
Saeyoung lets out a soft sigh as he walked past the turquoise-haired male. "No need. I can go on my own." He spoke softly as he made his way out the door and down the stairs. There, he saw a tremendous crowd of people that were wanting to see him.
Jihyun followed the prince as he thought about the plan that was going to happen tonight. The talk he hand with the secret organization behind his majesty's back was going to happen very soon. It was all now up to Rika.
"Almost ready Saeran?" The blond female asked as she wore a black dress that had a bit of glitter to it and a black eye mask that had a wing flare to it.
The white haired male wore a suit that was white, but had a black interior and a white tie. The total opposite colors of a normal tuxedo. His mask was of a white dog with red outlines. He wore it as he entered the carriage which would lead to the ball with his fellow worker, Rika.
"So the mission you told me about earlier is happening tonight?" Saeran questions as the two rode their way to the palace.
The blond nods as she hands a small bottle that had a bright mint green substance in it. "Drink up. You'll need it to pass this mission." She spoke.
The color of the elixir matched Saeran's eyes. He lifted the mask a bit to sip the poison down, wincing a bit at the taste until the liquid was all gone. Saeran then placed his mask back on and handed it back to Rika. "When do I kill him?" He asks, not having any mercy in his eyes.
"Have fun tonight and allow the elixir do the bidding. What you took will make you forcefully have to kill the prince by midnight. In the mean time, try to win him over so you two can be alone for most of the night." She explains by the time they soon arrived.
The two exit out the carriage and went their separate ways. Rika gave a signal in wishing Saeran good luck before they couldn't see each other anymore.
