I lay on my bed and tried my best to not think about it, but the kiss left a heavy impact on me. I wasn't that pretty in my previous life, so I never had the chance to experience anything romance related. In fact, I was hoping for my kiss to be somewhat majestic and sweet just like those in the books...But... I... Kissed two guys in one day!
I have sinned. I don't think the heavens will accept me anymore..
"My lady?"
"AHH!" I screamed for a moment before composing myself. This is insane, I'm going crazy from thinking about such useless things, "My lady, please get up. You have to start preparing," Sasha says as I looked at her with dead eyes.
There is just no way I'm going to move. I'm too tired from thinking about yesterday that I couldn't even get a wink of sleep, "Today is the day of the royal banquet. Have you forgotten?" she questioned as I mentally gasp.
Oh crap. That damn king!
Last month, he sent out an invitation to every noble to join the party. Even the commoners who could afford the entrance fees are welcome to this grand party he's going to make, but I think the King is just so bored that he wants to throw a party.
Yeah, I should've expected that the king is also insane.
"Up we go!" Sasha helped me towards the bathroom as I slept while she prepared my look for the ball this evening. If I had to point something out about this world, it would be the fact that it takes almost a damn day to get ready. "Sasha, are we done yet?" I ask as she shakes her head.
I have no idea for how long she spent on my skin, but it took FOREVER.
Although, its understandable that I would have to get ready earlier than usual. After all, she's the only maid attending me in this horrible household. I wish I could let her stay at my manor, but I'm quite attached to her and I don't think I can find anyone else who will volunteer to be my maid.
Just as I look at myself in the mirror, I slightly brush my soft cheeks in amazement. Seeing this body over and over will never cease to amaze me. Her beauty is seriously out of this world, "Sasha, bring my glasses. Also, didn't I tell you to put my hair up?" I tell her as she entangled her fingers and sobbed, "My lady... Please just go out like this for once.. I worked really hard to make you beautiful," she told me.
"I understand, but I really don't-" before I could finish my sentence, she grabbed my hand and pleaded in a way that I couldn't refuse, especially because she mentioned a word that made me happy, "Please, as your friend? Just look good out there for once."
She looked at me with honest eyes while I stare at my figure once more. The light pink dress surely complimented my platinum blonde hair. With this milky skin tone of mine, I look like a freaking fairy.
"Alright, alright," I chuckled, making my way towards the palace. Compared to last time, the building that he's hosting this party was more grand and spacious. Every single detail in the room is probably made out of pure gold, and dear god... I thought I was as rich as the royal family but I must be insane.
The royal family has unlimited money! How could I get ahead of myself!
Insane. This damn world and its characters is just pure insane to the point that I keep reusing the word "insane" nowadays.
Suddenly, a horde of nobles came rushing to me like a bunch of little kids hurrying to buy an ice cream from the ice cream truck man, "What outstanding dress you have," one particular man say.
He was handsome, but who is he? Usually, only the male leads are the good-looking ones. Well, at least that's what I know judging from the people I encounter. While it's true that some men are still handsome, the beauty of the male leads are on a different level. But this guy... His level of beauty is on par with the love candidates!
"Do you think so? I'm glad, thank you," I replied with the same manner he gave. We chatted for a while, trying to get to know this mysterious handsome man, until the lights turned off. The room was extremely dark and I unintentionally held on to Leone's arm. That was his name.
"Ladies and gents! Today, I invite you all to play a little game with me," I heard the king's voice, "the rules are fairly simple. In this dark room, if you can grab the person you like when the light turns on, then he or she will be your partner for the night!"
"Begin!" the moment he said that, most of the females screamed happily, bumping into one another while fishing out the crown prince, and Keith and yes, two of them are here in the party, but regarding Kian... I'm not so sure myself since I didn't see him, "This is crazy," I mumbled while gripping tightly on to his arm.
I knew it, this party is just to hook people up.
I was about to let go of him until he embraced me and whispered into my ears, "Stay with me. I have something important to discuss."
"What? What is there to talk about? I don't even- Ah! Seriously, these people are insane!" I raised my voice as he chuckled. Boy, that was one hot laugh, but don't let him seduce you! Come on, me. At this time, I should be immune to hot guys already.
"Just talk to me. I have an important question to ask," he tells me as I sigh and nodded my head.
Fine, since you're so handsome, I'll gladly listen to you, "Alright, but where do you want to go?" I ask as the lights suddenly turned back on.
The sight of the room made me want to laugh. Most of the people partnered up with the same gender, but Keith and Margaret were paired up while the crown prince was surrounded by a large number of females.
Since some people had more than one person attached to them, it was settled through a mutual pick. The person chosen by multiple girls just needed to pick the person he favored among them, but knowing the prince, he obviously rejected them.
"Shall we go somewhere more quieter?" Leone offered his hand as I took it with suspicion. If ever, its better to leave this noisy ballroom.
I don't want to keep seeing Margaret anyway.
