ASH GASPED, "ARE YOU GOING TO THE BALL? For real?"

Chuckling softly, I nodded, "I sure am!"

"That's so strange. When you told his excellency that you wanted to thank Duchess Serena Remington and all that shit, I didn't believe a word," he knows me too well, and the way he put that made me laugh. "You have an ulterior motive to go there, don't you?" He questioned sounding suspicious, making me giggle again.

I bit my lip and turned my gaze to the window, "Kind of. It's not necessarily an ulterior motive, but something like that," he waited for my answer. "There's someone I want to meet there. Two people, exactly. I need to do something, I can't just tell you yet, but I believe that by doing this I'll get more allies around the nobles. Even though getting their alliance is not the main reason."

He mumbled in agreement.
