It's two o clock in the afternoon, mrs.martha had gone to the market to get some things from her regular seller when she heard some females gisting and decided to join them .
m. " So, what are u lovely ladies talking about
ooh, nothing dull, "one of them said."
it's just the King decided to have a place ball
m. " Well, that's nothing new
exactly, but this is different,
m. " pfft how ? tell me ,we all know it's not today. The King does have place balls at least a few times in a year, to be precise.
really well, Martha, it's cos u don't know what's different this time
exactly u don't, another woman said
m." Well, tell me
the king is inviting everyone .
m." Are u serious, ladies?
yes, exactly, this is a chance for our daughters and sons to find matches u know?
yes, yes, true, haha
m." Martha was in deep thought .
well, isn't it interesting, right laddies ?
"All together ": right right, yes
m. " I'm not sure Maria would be interested, cos she's more of an introvert, and who knows why exactly the King is hosting a ball .
you're right ,but whatever the reason may be, it's beneficial to everyone .
and besides, you should ask her .She's a good girl she wouldn't say no to her parents.
m. " Hmm, I'll ask her .
mrs.martha had gone home and placed all the vegetables she bought on the dining .she called Maria to come help her and decided to ask her if she was interested in attending the Palace ball .
m. " Dear, please come .
ma. " Yes, mother.
m. " Come help me with this vegetables ,and I'd like to ask u a question .
ma. " Okay .
m. " Darling, I hear the king is hosting a place ball, and everyone is invited. so I'd like to ask , would you like to attend with I and your father? ,I'm sure it'll be fun, right ?
ma. " Hmm, I'm not sure I'd like to intrude your privacy, and erh ... I'm not so comfortable in public eyes.
m. " Well, that's why you should go
ma. " Hmm, I prefer to just rest, do house chores, and study .
m. " Maria, you have to socialize
ma. " Ma, I know you have my best interest in mind, but what if my abilities start surfacing . and some of the people we know would be there with Judgy eyes, and i might get nervous and freak out.
m. " You won't know or else you try , pls darling .
Maria gave a slight nod in approval . Mrs. Martha was glad, and she decided to call the family tailor ," Mrs.fauls, to make beautiful attires for the three of them .
one afternoon on a monday morning,
The tailor , Mrs.fauls, had come to take measurements and ask for their preferred styles of fabrics and dressing.
m.fa. " Heey , Martha, you at home.
she said as she knocked at the door to the jornas family home. few seconds later , the door was opened by a smiling Mrs. Martha.
m. " mrs.fauls, you're here .
m.fa. " How are you darling ?
m. " I'm great . common come in .
she led the way to the sitting room.
m. " Pls Sit . as u already know, I invited you to come because i and my family need exquisite attires to attend the upcoming palace ball . and I'm guessing you're attending too ?
m.fa " Why yes ! darling .
so now that I'm here, how about you choose styles you'd like.
so there are different ones but I must warn you even though I know you're husband is well off , you should choose wisely so you won't go bankrupt , as u know fabrics are expensive ever since the warehouse flew into disaster.all because the workers slacked off and made the near by farm animals chew on clothes of fabrics,oooh my ..some excreted ,some peed , the pigs had mud all over the clothes and to top it off the whole ware house burned with the animals in it. uuuugh now meat is expensive.
Gosh, it's still a mystery how they even got there in the first place . Anyway, let's drop all that.
BUT, you know what I mean by u coating your coat according to your size, and since everyone except the children is going, work is going to be tight and which means sewing is more expensive.
m. " hahaha I know mrs.fauls, but you don't have to say it like. .that.
A whole two hours went by ,contemplating which design to choose . finally, mrs.martha jornas picked the designs she wanted.
m. " Okay, I'd like a black Toxedo suit for my husband and a golden brown backless royal A_ circle dress for me .and for Maria ,a royal purple backless A_ flare circle dress with a length just below the knees.
m.fa. " Oh my gosh, it'll be so pretty.
the Palace ball isn't until spring, so that's a month from now .
you should receive your attire two weeks from now .yes, and I'll receive the payment when ?
m. " Wednesday.
m.fa. " Great .
mrs.martha walked mrs.fauls to the door.
THE KINGS POV :
" it's six o clock evening time.i had just finished attending to the council members, and now I'm here sitting , drinking, and thinking about the dream I've been having. uuughh ! for goodness sake . I threw my glass cup across my bedroom .
Your highness " the king's right hand man "Fedric goule" said
" I don't believe I told you to enter now. Did I ?
f.g." Yes. but it is my duty to attend to His Highness, the king
" Are you Deaf ? did I give you an order that I need something? Go now , leave at once!.
f.g. " As you wish, sire
" I've been having this same dream for the past eighteen years now . this same image flashes and plays repeatedly in my sleep ,over and over again!!.
" holding a bloody heart in my hands, bright orange eyes shining so bright it could blind anyone, a girl laying life less on the floor, different occurance, hearing a loud scream of agony and pain which on a normal day it's soothing to me but this , this is different it's affecting me, i always feel something drawing me closer and closer And a sense and feeling to protect this person and when i actually try to inch closer i always wake up .
" But today it's different, i saw a little girl crying on her bed and her parents comforting her, and when i inched closer,I saw her true form . her eye they're.. mesmerizing, drawing me closer to her, addictive , a strong feeling. but then again, as always, I was disturbed by reality going back to my duties as king. with an upcoming ball on its way ,I'm going to be busy, or should I say my subordinates are going to be busy , hahaha .I keep forgetting that I could dump all the work on them, and besides, they're having too much time and freedom. seems they need a reminder.
" Fedric ?
f.g. " Yes, your highness ?
" Report to me the incident this morning
Fedric contemplating whether or not to say the full matter
f.g. " Well, the king has been gentle than usual these days, could it be because of the nightmare he's been having. and what's the worst that could happen ? he thought.
" Cat, got your tongue? Speak
