ma. " I was woken up to the sound of my mother yelling my name for me to wake up .eerh yes Mother I'm up.siiiiigh ,oh common it's like 6 o clock in the morning Mama,why do I have to wake up now , I said as I got out of bed and walked downstairs.
m. " Don't be lazy.it's important to dress up early before the carriage arrives, and the roads are going to be busy. now hurry up and take your bathe.
ma. " Yes, Mother .

ma. " After I was done taking my bathe, mother helped me put on my corsets, which was so uncomfortable and petticoat . I wore my lovely ball gown, and then it was time to put on my black hills when suddenly it didn't fit! my foot must have gone an inch longer!
mother, my hills don't fit ,
m. " What? oh, my word
ma. Haha, i guess that's a sign for me not to attend the so-called ball
mr.h. " Don't be silly, Darling
m. " We'll stop by a shoe shop and get you another
ma. " buuuut ,nooooo! sigh,fine.
Under thirty minutes, we were done.
As we proceeded, we were greeted by a smiling coachman, " Mr park." he was our personal coachman. he worked as a horse rider at a stadium
mr.p " Good morning, my lady Maria, good, Mr. and mrs. Jonas .
ma. " Good morning, sir. my parents also greeted him
mr.p. " I'm guessing you're off to the ball . well, we best get going if we don't wanna be late before the roads get busy.
mr.h. " Yes, I'll just quickly lock the house .
ma. " it was about 5 o clock when we arrived at the imperial capital . the roads were bursting with people dressed elegantly.
m." Common darling, let's get you a lovely shoe.
ma." we arrived at a small shoe store.and after five minutes of looking around, I finally spotted one .Thank God . it was a light purple flat sole. it had two little pearls on it ,perfect .I'm the first female to wear a flat sole to a ball I didn't wanna go to . *she thought with a wide grin on her face . her mother wondered what was on her mind*

IN the castle, the king's right-hand man, " fedric "goule, was on his way to give a report to the king.
standing in front of the king's bedroom door, he knocked. your majesty? he said.
Come in , "a deep voice responded in annoyance .
f.g. " Yes, I have come to give a report on my findings .
" What is it ?
there's a total of six high house members attending the ball this evening. appearantly , someone gave a tip off that there'll be a rogue attack at the ball,which is off because there are no rogues in this kingdom. or else there's an insider getting them in . the same situation with the spy.and we've just discovered that there may be imposter's in the castle.
"IT looks like this ball is going to be interesting.
* he said with a wide dangerous grin*
" You may leave.
I didn't have that dream today .What's so different about today ?
* He ordered some maids telepathly, and five maids walked in . yes, sire? ,they said
" Dress Me.
**
ma. " After I got new shoes , of course the purple ones, my father had come to pick us up. it was time to face it. siiiigh uuuugh I panicked in my mind.
*The entrance to the grand castle ball was a sight to behold. Lush gardens lined the pathway, filled with vibrant white and blue flowers. Marble columns adorned with elegant vines led the way to the opulent doors, which shimmered in the sunset. Maria and her parents stood in awe, captivated by the beauty before them. The sound of classical music drifted through the air, drawing them closer. Despite her initial reluctance to attend the ball, Maria couldn't help but be mesmerized by the enchanting scene. her mouth opened without her realizing.the other guests were also mesmerized, high class, or no high class. everyone was stunned* .
*As Maria and her parents proceeded to enter,Maria almost fell because she wasn't looking at where she was going,then she realized her mouth was opened and giggled. quickly closing her mouth.
The inside of the grand castle ball was filled with opulence, with a beautiful fountain in the center and a special place for ball dances. The ball dancers mesmerized the guests with their elegant movements, perfectly in sync with the enchanting melodies of the instrumentalists. The piano, violin, and other ball performance instruments created a magical atmosphere, transporting everyone to a world of elegance and luxury. Maria was speechless at the beauty that surrounded her* .
* Maria had decided to give her parents personal space* .
ma." I'll leave you two to yourselves now.
m." Okay, darling, have fun.
ma." I spotted my two friends and waved at them ,smiling widely. but they couldn't respond with the same energy because each was speaking to a man ,so they only smiled gently, giving me a wink. alright, I mouthed.
* Maria continued gushing at the ball designs as she continued walking* .
ma. " I was busy smiling to myself and walking around till I spotted a food table. Great, haha.
When I suddenly heard the annoying terrifying giggles,oh no, it's them!
well, oh my, who let a child in here.one of the sisters said
And it's a glutton one as well. The other sister said
Who wears a child's shoes to a ball, and what type of attire is that.the three of them mocked her.
ma." Oh my gosh, I said i was going to lay low,I grumbled.
What is that you say? peasant, haha, you've always been a disappointment to ladies. freak.
ma." People have started gathering around, I hope my parents don't notice.
I didn't notice when one of them pushed me. haa err, i groaned as i fell to the ground. why would you do that? I snapped back instantly, still sitting on the floor.
What? you wanna complain.they continued laughing
ma." I didn't know what suddenly came over me, but I felt a surge of power rush in and I stood up and pointed my finger at one of them about to speak ,when suddenly, she started crying out in pain,I could've sworn I heard her bones breaking
What did you do? the other two screamed at me,but before they could do anything, a man suddenly came with two guards and held them back. unknown to me, a high house member had spotted me raising my hand the moment one of the triplets groaned in immense pain.
Hi, "she said as she reached in front of me." I'm " Lena Crone." one of the high house members. Are you alright? "she said to me with a mischievous smile." What's the matter?
ma." Erh,yes,the triplets were causing a scene when suddenly one of them crawled up in pain.
then I heard the man saying alright no conflicts, or else you wanna be thrown in prison for the night."
You three should not cause a scene.I asked, and people said you three started it.now go on.
I saw them glaring at me before carrying their sister along.
f.g. " Miss,please enjoy the rest of the evening. common, you two let's go. i wonder why some people like causing trouble.
ma." The man had left after telling me to enjoy the evening,but the woman was still here!
Thank you for your concern,I said to her.
l.c." You're welcome. What region are you from?
ma. " The east side,why do you ask?
l.c." No reason, just curious . I'll get going now. Enjoy the party, no?
ma. " Yes.you too. weird.
I was looking around when I sported a man straight out of this world.he was so handsome my jaw dropped.he was so tall and masculine in the perfect way . and he had beautiful black hair,his eye's were deep light red bringing out his features his lips were perfect not to deep pink and not too light.he is by far more gorgeous than I am that's a fact.

As I walked into my ball party, I heard people gasping.
well, I can't blame them,I'm straight out of a fairytale. fedric had reported to me the little fight incidents between some females,how boring.
After a few minutes, I was tired of listening to people's thoughts,all they're thinking about is marriages,how the king looks ,opportunities, and boring stuff.
I was getting too bored and was about to leave. when a presence caught my attention.
it was a lady who looked exactly like the little girl in my dreams. she was so beautiful.her dress compliments her beauty ,especially those purple shoes she wore ,how childish. her lovely brown hair was just below her shouldes and styled in a high bun.her lips were peach pink ,her nose so small and sharp .no, she was the one straight out of a fairytale.i can't believe this is coming out of me.
wait, what just happened it's like I'm in another world. all of a sudden, I saw the same little girl but a little older, around 12 years old. she was inside a tornado crying , hugging her leg's together like she didn't even know she was up in the air in a brutal storm.then I saw her parents struggling in the weather calling out to her, darling please calm down , her mother said.yes calm down you're perfect just the way you are,you're not a monster, I heard her dad say.
suddenly, I was back to reality. sigh, I've got to do something about these dreams.
Then our eyes met.
I started walking in her direction, and I could she how she tensed up. I chuckled to myself. how cute.
" Good day, my lady. I said as i kissed her knuckles and her face was light red instantly. hmm, how lovely, I thought.
ma." Before I knew it, our eyes met, and I blushed instantly. Oh my ,so embarrassing, i didn't even know I could blush.
he started moving towards me, and i actually tensed up ! Oh God.
he took my left hand and kissed my knuckles.and I could've sworn i felt a ting in my belly.
" Good day, my lady. How are you?
ma. " Erh... i..I am good.i could only bring myself to say.
" I'm "Raphael Kingston. " What's your name ?
ma." Wow, his name is even gorgeous itself.
My Name is "Maria ".erh Maria Jonas . I said,my face still blushing.
" Lovely name you have . may I ask what you might be doing alone at a ball party? I mean, did you come with a partner?
ma." Well, partner's to be precise. he gave me a confused look.oh no, I didn't mean that I had two male partner's haha,I laughed nervously,
I meant I came with my parents. he paused for a while as if thinking.
" Hmm, very well then dance with me
ma." Excuse me, what ? d..da..dance?
" Yes.
ma." I was not only shocked but surprised he didn't even ask ,It was as if he was giving orders !
