The castle

The family was excited as they rode in the carriage. Theodore had ordered a medium sized carriage for all five of them to fit. This carriage have a maximum capacity of six people, so they had some extra leg room in here.

It wasn't just them that was on the unstable road, there were many carriages that's going in the same direction. Many carriages on the road means traffic, and traffic means that they will get to the castle later than anticipated. It was a good thing that they left an hour before the ball starts because they arrived there fifteen minutes late.

Megan and Marie looked out of the window to see huge iron gates defending the castle. It was fully opened for visitors to come in, but one can see how gigantic those gates were by passing by it.

Beyond the iron gates is a magnificently designed front yard of the castle. It had a huge fountain with angel statues spewing water out of their mouths... some of them spewing water with their peepee.

The carriage came to a halt as the passengers came out to a beautiful view of the mighty castle of the Starlight kingdom. Mr. and Mrs. Vinnesia had their mouths hung wide open in astonishment. Theodore helped Megan and Marie out of the carriage, then left to give some instructions to the driver to come back after the party.

"Mother, father, close your mouths and put on your eye masks. We're going in" said Theodore as he puts on his light blue eye mask. The couple snapped out of their daydreaming and put on their masks. The two best friends had their masks on beforehand and they walked together arm in arm up the stairs to the entrance of the castle.

Megan was marveled by the huge double doors of the entrance. She gave the knights and servants

standing on the side of the entrance door a small bow and smile as she proceeds to go into the castle with Marie.

The five of them stuck close to each other as there were many visitors so they didn't want to get lost. The five moved with the crowd as they saw another huge double door opened to a brightly lit room. They walked pass the doors to see a marvelously gigantic ball room. The entrance was on top of a two way stairs that stretched to the left and right of room. Being on top of the stairs, the five were able to see this huge room as a whole. They couldn't stop here to admire the scene before them because more people were walking into the ball room.

Megan and Marie walked down the steps arm in arm looking up at the ceiling decorated with rows of chandeliers and beautifully architectural structures. Everything in here looked like it was made out of gold, and it wasn't surprising if everything WAS made of gold here.

The nobles came the earliest for the celebration so they watched the incoming commoners from the area near where the Emperor would sit.

The nobles were near the end of the ball room in an area decorated in gold and gems. There was a stairway leading up to four luxurious seats, it was obvious that the seats were meant for the royal family.

"Alright mother and father, you should enjoy yourselves now!" Megan said encouragingly.

"Are you sure you will be alright? There will be many people coming inside here" her mother said worriedly.

"We'll be fine mother" said Theodore.

"Theodore watch the girls, but if they want to find some suitors then let them go ahead" Mrs. Vinnesia said winking to the girls.

"Mother!" The two siblings exclaimed together.

"And you! Go find me a daughter-in-law!" His mother said with a glare before walking off with his father.

"Your mother is so funny" Marie said with a giggle. "But she is right, Theodore you're twenty already, go find a partner."

"Marie let's go get some food! I wonder if they serve gourmet food!" Megan said as she drag her best friend with her.

"The celebration haven't even started, why are you thinking about food already?" Theodore chased after the two.

There are tables full of food and snack trays all over the ball room, along with servants that come around with a tray of snacks and wine. Megan came here to find Victon... but her stomach comes first!

"Megan eat slowly, you're going to choke. They are coming out with more food so calm down" Marie said as she pat Megan's back.

"Marie you have to try this dish, it's so gooddddd." Living in a bakery, Megan have always eat sweets more than salty foods. When she ate the gourmet food, she fell in love.

As the girls ate, the ball room is being filled little by little. The ball room is very large and a person can comprehend this is when the last few visitors came in, it wasn't so packed or claustrophobic. This entire room was bigger than a lake, so there was much more room than anticipated.

Meanwhile....

Somewhere in the ballroom, there was a tall black hair man with a silver eye mask leaning on a wall with a blonde man similar in height next to him.

"So are you going to tell me who you gave the dress too? Like you know, the dress that I worked my ass off to find a good tailor to make within THREE days?" Ben said as he tries to pry Victon.

Victon didn't speak as he scanned the room to find someone. It seems like he need to go somewhere higher to find her. Victon left Ben as he walked to the stairs of the entrance way.

'So you won't talk huh? I'll just find the girl on my own!' Ben thought as he scanned the room for a purple dress. He then saw a pastel purple dress at one of the tables and made his way to that lady. He tapped on her shoulder and politely said, "excuse me, miss".
