I shot Diana a glare.
"Well then, let me put you in high spirits. It's time for the testing of your attire for the ball tonight."
"How is that supposed to put me in high spirits? I want to avoid attending as best as I can."
"That cannot happen, you're the star they cannot wait to see or talk about."
"You mean the people cannot wait to see the vessel growing their future. I know they're waiting for a ton of whispers to toss to the wind. Maybe the entire realm will know that the hybrid is carrying a baby!"
Diana gasped dramatically. "You don't have to be too hard on yourself!"
I went back to eating, mumbling under my breath.
She sighed before barking at the door. "Come in!"
The doors opened, and handmaids stepped in, each holding different boxes. Diana opened one and pulled out a costume mask, positioning it beside my face.
"Red obviously looks good on you."
"A costume mask?"
