Early this morning, Sally sent me a few pretty masks. I chose one that looked subdued yet elegant.
The mask was made of dark blue velvet. A few gemstones lined the edge. I wore a matching dark blue gown.
"Liana, you look beautiful," Aunt Briana praised after giving me a glance.
"Aunt Briana, you look stunning. I really like the color of your mask. And the feathers! So many different hues of red!"
"Thank you, dear. You should have told me you're interested in joining us earlier! Then I could ask the master that made my mask to make you one as well. Living in Zehan means paying a lot for masks. We are crazy for pretty masks."
"I knew Zehan has a famous Mask Festival, I am looking forward to it! I just did not realize even a Prince's birthday party is in the form of masquerade ball."
"Oh, our prince just loves excitement. A very energetic young man, the prince. Always loves a good party."
"I see. I am sure his birthday party must be spectacular then."
