A few days had passed and the entire time the servants had been preparing to get the castle ready that Ara hadn't seen Miss Cho. There was also a lot of pressure for her to be looking a certain way and what dress she would wear that her parents had forced her to go an yet another diet. She was already on one that was tiring her out and usually before these things she's given the empathy and is able to eat a few more things than normal.

Her stomach grumbled while she was in what seemed like a never ending wardrobe change. Earning a few glares from the older maids who were really strict and if one of them were her parents they'd starve her to death to make her look like something that would only satisfy a fourth of their desires.

"Now what about this dress, it is absolutely stunning and would look amazing on you!" one of the younger maids held up a horrible green dress that earned a disgusted look from Ara and some satisfied nods from some other younger maids.

"I- I want to see some other options before I make my decision." Ara protested while trying to sound professional.

"Princess Ara, we have been looking at more options for about an hour now, are you sure?" A shy maid piped up earning a few glares from the maids.

"Yes I'm sure." Ara answered trying to sound confident. She was always super insecure and over thought her responses to people and the ways she always acted around certain people. An hour passed and more choices were shown but Ara wasn't satisfied until there was a stunning light blue dress with a light veil like part that covered the dress. It had some dark blue and white butterflies that were spread out across the bottom part of the dress making the rest of it look breathtaking.

"That's the dress." This sentence caused the young maids to sigh out in relief while the older ones just looked at it in disgust like it was the worst thing on the planet.

"All of the princes will have their jaws on the floor." one maid giggled earning some scoffs from some others. 

"how many princes are going to be attending exactly?" Ara asked in an annoyed tone.

"There isn't a finalized number yet your majesty." A maid answered among the small group.

"Isn't it in a few days ?" another asked.

"The whole thing is in 4 days." An older maid answered in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Thank you for everything, that's all." Ara thanked as they all nodded their heads and took all the extra dresses and left. Leaving Ara alone to figure out what to do for the rest of the day to kill some time.

"I guess I could go outside and see what else I've missed" Ara muttered out loud before taking her cloak and doing her hair in a tight braid before quietly climbing down the balcony and running towards the gates. Running through the sun filled grass, Ara finally felt free. Even though it was probably forbidden, Ara didn't care because it was a true feeling of inception and it was an amazing feeling.

Climbing over the stone wall, Ara looked behind her making sure no one was looking at her. Smiling to herself finding no one was looking, she continued running not looking back. Finding the view of the castle once again, she smiled to herself as she pulled the hood on and ran closer to the castle.
