I didn't like going to balls, it's a place for socializing and I started to feel left out whenever there were more than 6 people in a group. And a ball had hundreds of people. Of course the rule of survival was to find your own group of friends. It's not like I didn't have friends. I did. The tragic thing was one of my friends wa far away in another country since her father was a diplomat. The other was as sociable as a butterfly.
So I was left alone. But I had been to my fair share of balls and I had been once Queen. I learned how to disguise myself. I held my head high up and stood there, like I had a purpose standing there alone.
"Liana, surprise!" Someone shouted behind me.
I pretended to be surprised. I had my guess. It was Sally, my friend whose father was a diplomat. A royal ball for Lord Astor had not happened in my previous life, but Sally had tried to do something similar in a gathering hosted by Sebastian's aunt tomorrow in my previous life.
"Sally, you came back!"
