Ball.

The ball is at 8 pm although we would get there early. It was a fucking masquerade ball. Why? The only mask I have is the one I use to go out for killing. Today I go back to my house.

That's not going to be fun explaining more scars.

I'll just wear my killing mask. It's not like anyone would notice and if they, did I'm confident I either beat the breaks off of them or I killed them. The queen would probably be a bit suspicious of me, but other than that, we should be fine.

My parents will not be attending the ball with me. Strange. We finally arrived at the ball. The butler opened the door. A lot of flashes were going. Instead of a red carpet, it was white in this world. Apparently, I was supposed to walk with confidence…

3rd person…

As Sapphire walked down the white carpet, multiple voices could be heard. "Did you see her neck?" "She must be a fighter." 'Her wrists were scarred too. How bad was it?"

"Fuck those scars. Did you see those eyes?" "They pierced into my very soul."

Brian and she were walking side by side. With their "Bodyguards" walking in two lines behind them. "That's the heir to the Ryhem family. Make sure you meet him!" "Stop it, mom!"

"Hey did you see that? What a beautiful pair!" "they must go into a modeling business with her as his duo. It would be perfect!" An eccentric photographer said excitedly.

Brian was wearing his killing mask, too. The "bodyguards" were all wearing blue and white tuxedos with a sky blue mask on.

After they entered the large royal ballroom, they finally de-tensed. Then... Mina showed up suddenly disappearing and reappearing in front of the group. She pinched her nose and turned pale. "Jeez, I can practically smell the blood and death from your masks didn't you wash it?"

Another courtesy from T.S.C.G. it made sure there was a record of every life they had taken. "It self cleans and normal people can't smell death so it should be fine," Brian said casually, enjoying the large sight.

She sighed. All the "Bodyguards." Raised their eyebrows in disbelief 'death?' They all thought simultaneously.

Soon the music started and Mina disappeared and reappeared next to the queen and king. There were ten advisors on each side going right to left so Mina was third on the left side.

All of the advisors took a step forward. All of them had 1/20th of the king's and queen's power over the land. The king and queen both count as ten votes so if they both vote together, only a unanimous vote can win. But there is one vote that is usually collected for the tiebreaker.

That's right. The Black Ops Squad. Mostly specializing in wiping out armies, doing whatever the hell they want, and assassinations.

They have the ultimate say in almost everything army-related they usually come out of the shadows once every great war which is about 150 years. None of the original team has died each of them averaging ???? years old.

"We, the Royals, thank you for your presence today. Have a nice night." The lights shut off then turned back on all the advisors were scrambled around playing politics meeting with friends and family.

But after around five minutes the lights dimmed and slow dance music started.

Obviously Sapphire had to dance with Brian first to show some intimacy and that this was not just a political play to advance both houses.

"This is quite the flashback do you want to do the first dance we ever had?" He said with a smirk under his mask Sapphire groaned "Sure."
