...The Festival...

Rose prepared herself to go to the festival.

- Are you going with that outfit? Asked Yvine when she got in her.

- I don't have anything else to wear except this. Replied Rose.

- Wait me for a moment.

Yvine went in a hurry then she came back with a dress.

- Wear this, we are going to have some fun, not to fight. You don't want to draw any attention to you, do you?

- Fine, give it to me.

Rose wore the dress. It showed her body lines, and his red color matched perfect her black hair.

She was really amazed and happy:

- For the first time in a while I feel like a real woman.

- Wait until I fix your hair. You will become a true beauty.

Yvine brushed Rose's long hair, then she left him down and tie its upper half.

- Did you dye your hair? Asked Yvine while holding the grey hair.

- No, I was born naturally like this.

- That's weird? I thought you dyed it on purpose to hide your identity. Because you know its true color is...

- Miss Yvine, we must hurry, the others are waiting for us.

- Yes, I understand.

Yvine put her final touch with a butterfly accessory on the side.

- It's done, let's go.

They went to the gate where Remy, David, Derek and Jackson were waiting for them. The rest of the knights were already on the way.

Derek rubbed his eye:

- Am I seeing correctly? That woman with the red dress..is Rose?

The men were truly surprised, this is the first time seeing her that beautiful.

Rose was pretty shy after walking around like that, a lot of people were gazing at her.

- I think I should change back to my old outfit.

Yvine grabbed her hand and headed to the carriage.

- We don't have time for that, let's go.

Meanwhile, Hans was watching from his office window. He was not only surprised by seeing Rose like that, but also he got worried.

" Why do I regret giving them permission. Damn it, I shouldn't let her go in the first place. She will grab more attention to her."

They finally arrived, the capital was full of people celebrating the spring festival. Flowers and lights were all over the place.

- Wow, it is like day time here. The capital is so beautiful and lively with all these people.

- We can't walk in a group in this crowded place. Let's split up, I will go with Rose and you can walk on your own.

- Fine, we will meet up in front of the carriage after an hour.

David stick to Yvine, since he was her escort.

- David, you can go and enjoy yourself, we are not in the palace, I won't tell his highness, I promise.

- Don't try, I'm not leaving you no matter what. Besides, don't you have any fear? This place is full of criminals and thieves.

- And, since when you are concerned about us? Don't you hate being around me?

- Ahm, I have never said that. Now let's go.

They walked for a while around the place, they ate some food and buy a lot of souvenirs.

Rose suddenly stopped and pointed to something.

- Hey look there, a lot of people are gathering around something, I'm curious to see what is there.

The three of them went into the crowd to take a look, David held Yvine's hand so they won't be separated but Rose was already gone.

- Where is she? We lost her! Hurry up, we must find her quickly.

On the other side, rose was drifting far away from them.

" I think it's a good opportunity for them to be alone, those two idiots need to talk to each other"

She kept looking around until a man stopped her, - Hey miss do you want to play a game?

- No thank you, I'm not interested.

- You will win a good prize if you win.

" A prize? maybe I can try. I must send money soon to my father."

- Fine, I will try

- Follow me, I will take you to the game place.
