The grand ball was held the day before the knights test.on the surface is a way to help upcoming knights to relax before taking their test , but underneath it's a way for people to sabotage their competitors in a harmless way of course .they do simple things like making them over drink , accidentally bumping into them coursing them to twist their ankle and putting stuff like laxatives into their food .
officially the is only two rules which are never fight each other and you must eat and drink anything that anyone gives you and unofficially is that anything goes as long as you do not kill anyone. I know Simon and Ember will not miss this opportunity to prevent me from becoming a knight so I came prepared.
I went to the ball wearing a red skintight dress, six inches heels and a bright red lipstick. I did my hair in a way that would be hard to grab in case anything happens. in a ball such as this one people will wear something that will not attract attention but what they do not know is that you can actually use that to your advantage. you can look at the reactions of the palace around you if someone is trying to do something or not. like how lady Emily's eyes shifted slightly to my back indicating that the is someone approaching me .before I could leave the spot where I was standing I heard a voice call out to me.
Lady Mila such a pleasure running into you here
the pleasure is all mine sir ven der merwe, I hear that you do not like to attend balls .what made you came to this one?
nothing really I was just curious about the women who said she would become the first female heir to the throne. I want to see how you are planning to tame the holy sword , I noticed that you have not eaten anything since you have arrived so a brought you a drink. You are not going to refuse it are you?he asked with that same unreadable expression as always .I took a symbolic sip of the drink looking at him curiously not knowing what he is thinking.
I would not use the word tame when I say I am going to take out the holy sword the rock.
people say if you yield the holy sword it will give you emence strength and that it can grant you any wish.
I do not believe in farityles and I never thought you would believe in them.
you never know what if it's true what are you going to wish for?
