The Ball (Part 1)

When the night of the ball came, Ariana was ready a few hours before the ball started. Even though Alison's area is right next to the capital, Ariana's trip may be delayed due to the festival. Since the ball was not a significant event, Ariana did not come with her grandfather. Duke Andrew also felt that he was too old to enjoy such events. Plus, the man felt it was time for Ariana to start handling the affairs of the Dukedom on her own.

In her family's carriage, Ariana went along with Valencia. Valencia's identity as the daughter of the chief knight allowed her to attend the party as a guest. Both of them wore beautiful clothes. Of course, because Valencia was Ariana's closest friend, she was no less charming in her outfit.
