Meanwhile, Brina got a message and even before she saw it, she could tell that it's Louis.

Her heart is already flying. It is really so sweet of her boyfriend.

Though she hates getting dressed up like this, it is her boyfriend's hard work. She simply couldn't bring herself to hate this. In contrast, she is truly moved.

Just with a simple touch, she could say that this fabric is very expensive and rare. Everything fitted her so well and never has she thought he knows her size this accurately.

He might have known her body like the back of his hand. And, thinking about it, it made Brina remember their hot makeout sessions.

No wonder, he knows so much about her body.

Butterflies are all over her stomach and when she reads his messages, her face slightly blushes, adding more beauty to her angel like face.

'Hope you are dressed up, my love and I wish you liked the dress. I am pretty sure you are dazzling like a star right now."

"Actually, I'm afraid that I might get stunned and overwhelmed after seeing my beautiful girlfriend.. dressed up so alluringly. So please have mercy on this boyfriend of yours and don't tease him too much.'

'I'll be waiting for you, my dear.. Only for you.'

...

Meanwhile…

The masquerade ball.

The whole ballroom was decorated in the most extravagant way that others could never imagine.

More than two dozen of glittering crystal chandeliers spiraled down from the ceiling, illuminating the glimmering golden walls. The well polished floors were shining like an iced over lake.

The windows are decorated with the white and golden curtains and the walls are hung with the beautiful and unique paintings giving the aesthetic vibes to the room.

And, the ballroom has totally two big doors, one of it leading to the inner quarters of the palace while the other one is for the guests.

Meanwhile, the guests kept coming in and they were occupied talking with each other. The pianist was playing soothing and peaceful music, entertaining them.

However, all the guests are having their eyes on the other door, waiting for the contestants to arrive.

Their Prince Edward is someone who always has high expectations. And, the theme of this event has also piqued up the interest in them.

And more importantly, this event is very unique and special.

Olivia, who was the ex-fiancée of his brother will also be participating and besides that, a princess of another Kingdom has also shocked everyone by announcing that she would be competing as well.

Edward's ex-to-be fiancée, Charlotte has also announced that she would not be participating because of the internal rifts between her and Edward. She even made an official statement that their House will be sponsoring someone who had never been to the Kingdom of Aletros at least once.

All of them are now excited to see how it turns out to be. Moreover, their Prince opted for a masquerade theme!

It will surely be interesting!

As the clock ticked eight in the evening, the doors of the other side opened. First, The Princess of the Kingdom of Sophene, Penelope entered with her cousin brother and her friend who is more like a bodyguard for her.

Princess Penelope was so beautiful and her blue eyes totally mesmerized everyone. However, they couldn't see her face because of her mask.

But one could easily tell that she is a natural beauty.

Next, Olivia entered with her brother and sister.

Her sister Olive was her helper, just like how Hailey was to Brina.

She was dressed in Olive color and she is always eye-catching and elegant. Her face mask suited her perfectly, making her look mysterious.

After that, Katherine came inside accompanied by her younger brother and her assistant.

As soon as Olivia and Katherine had the eye contact, sparks rose between them, making everyone feel chilly and uneasy.

Their rivalry was like that.

However, both of them walked to Princess Penelope in order to make her their friend. However, Penelope just ignored them and continued talking to her brother.

She hasn't even shown courtesy of nodding her head, leaving about asking them to sit with her at her table.

It was like a face slap to both Olivia and Katherine. Though they felt like strangling this spoiled brat, they put on their fake smiles and sat down, smiling beautifully.. as if they were least offended.

She is the princess after all.

They are just the Ladies of some powerful Houses.

Despite their petty nature, they are sensible enough.

Next person to enter is Amelia, the adopted daughter of Francis.

However, no one knows how she looks. Though they can see her hazel eyes and lower face, no one has ever seen her.

It is because she has left the country almost a few years back just like Louis. Though she used to visit the Kingdom, she never made any public appearances unlike Olivia and Katherine.

She and Louis has so much common.

And everyone knows that she is a genius with many doctorates in her hands.

She is very close to their Ex-Prince Ethan.. but like a sister. Now, they are curious how her relationship with their Prince Edward is.

It's like, she didn't attend Ethan's bride selection because she looks wt him like a brother. But, she announced that she would be a contestant in Edward's bride selection.

What does it imply, actually?

Is she having romantic favorism towards Edward??

This is what that made others so excited of her. Unlike Katherine and Olivia, Amelia is not after becoming Queen.

As soon as Amelia entered with her twin brother and her cousin, they took a cool glance at Katherine and Olivia and then walked to the farthest table from them and sat down.. amusing others.

As far as they know, there are no disputes between their houses.

They didn't understand why she did that.

However, before they could speculate something, a beauty entered the room.

Dressed in a red wine dress and adorned in pure pearls, she is simply more than eye-catching that they are awestruck by her beauty and unique aura.

Her face mask is made of red and studded with diamonds, resembling the one in her necklace and earrings. All they could see was her hazel eyes and cherry lips.

She is simply breathtaking....

Accompanying her is Charlotte and Calvin. These brother and sister pairs are always famous in the Kingdom. Calvin is the Head of the Crime Department and he is the owner of the biggest media company of the Kingdom.

Moreover, these siblings have always been close to The Royal Family. And, of course the beauty accompanying them made everyone curious.
