《My Second Life》Ch-22 The Ballroom
Advertisement
My maid Emma came to me and informed me about the sword class being cancelled. No I was looking forward for the sword class.
"Why is the class cancelled?" "It because your designated teacher is invited for the celebration of engagement in royal palace. My lady you
too recieved the royal invitation." She passed the letter to me.
The letter had a red seal with the symbol of sun and the moon. My god the seal itself looks extravagant. I opened the letter.
Lady Catherine Grace Denver is invited for the celebration of the happy ocassion, which will
take place in the Jasmine white palace.
The engagement party between the Second Prince Noah and Princess Natalia
will be at 7 tonight.
I hope lady Catherine will attend the party and if possible you must come
with a partner as there will be a ball.
Hope you find a partner and be a witness for this happy ocassion.
~by Princess Natalia

So it was this girl. Okay but it mentions partner, with whom will I go, I don't even know anybody. 'no there is crown prince whom you know'
Hey how can I go with him he might be popular and many ladies might be waiting to be his partner, you know he is handsome and all, anyways what I am saying is that he won't be free. But what do I have to do in ball though?
"My lady here is the snacks" Nanny Hazel came in with the apple pie tart which became my favourite recently. "Nanny I got an invitation from the royal palace but I have question"
"Yes, what is it my lady?" nanny passed me the cup and took the tea. "What do you mean by ball?"
Clang
The tea pot fell down, the tea was all over the carpet. "What you are invited for a ball?!" Emma too looked at me surprised.

"Nanny Hazel I will inform Sara about this she will take care." " Yes sara is the only one who can do this" Wait what is happening, why
mention Sara is it related to her?
"It's almost 4:30 now call, Sara." Nanny told Emma and came to me. "Lady you need to be prepared." She called the maid and asked her to bring the tailor. "Why are you calling a tailor?"
"Of course to make the most beautiful ball gown for you"
"Huh? is it even possible for a tailor to make a dress in less than two and a half hours?"
She smiled at me, I got a very bad feeling about this. "Late Duchess had an exculsive tailor for herself." Mom? I wanted ask about Duchess but then the tailor came.
"Greetings my lady, I am your tailor Tessa." "Nice meeting you have a se-"
"I heard her lady has to reach royal palace by seven" Nanny nodded looking worried. Tessa opened her suitcase and took the measuring tape.
"My lady please excuse me" I stood up and she took my measure, what is this amazing speed, one could tell that she is an expert.
"Which material do you prefer?" "The.. comfortable one, without the corset" her face lit up as an idea poped in her mind. "I will make the most beautiful dress for my lady"
Just then Emma and Sara entered. "Nanny I have brought Sara" Emma bowed.
"Emma must have informed you" Sara nodded. Nanny took Sara's had, " Only you can do this" Sara looked very determined.
"Miss Tessa are you done with measurements?" "Yes"
"Then I will be borrowing my lady." What borrowing, am I a thing?
Sara leaded me to a empty room. Wait empty room is she gonna kill wthout no one knowing? "Why would she do that, stop that kdrama scenerio'

"My lady I will teach you the easiest one" What is going on?
"Actually what is going on and what are you gonna teach me?"
'Ha Ha Ha Ha...... Ha Ha Ha' why are you laughing. "What do you mean my lady, you got the invitation right?" hmm I nodded.
"In the ball you have to dance with your partner."
"Okay but I don't have a partner"
"Lady don't, then should I just disguise and come with you as your partner."
"Ha ha nice joke" Sara looked at me, those eyes are not lying. Omy god that's not happening.
"No problem, I will go with someone"
She sighed, "Okay I believe you my lady, then lets start." At that moment I didn't know that I will be going through hell for one hour. Is this what they do at ball, what are these step, it gets all mixed up. "My lady not there, if step forward you will step on the partners foot."
This is harder than maths!!
After going through that hell hours, I couldn't feel my legs. "My lady you have done with the basic steps so please dance when the second or third music is played. The first one is has bit difficult steps." "Yes sure I will take care" Just then Nanny hazel came.
"My lady the gown is ready please come and look" Oh no they might all be hyped up to dress me and do my makeup. Sigh left my lips as I walked to my room.
Wow!! "Will help you my lady" After peaceful makeover I got ready looking perfect in this no corset gown. Waah I love it~
Knock Knock
Suddenly there was a sound at the door. "My lady it's me Butler Luke" "Yes come in"
Even the Butler looks happy today (No its not, she is just happy because she didn't had to wear corset:AN)
He cleared his throat and said something nonsense.
"Stop joking sir Luke, that won't happen." I didn't gave that much care about what he said but when I went down and saw the guy in suit, I couldn't believe it.
"Greeting your highness crown prince, may God Helia bless the sun of the empire" I am speechless, he is like an art piece. He looked at me and our eyes met. A beautiful smile by which the gods can be bewitched. He walked towards me. My eyes didn't left his, as if we could see our souls, as if a magical thread which is firm not to be broken.
With an elegant bow he extended his hand and still not breaking the eye contact, "My lady are ready for the ball?"
