The Royal ball
Today the gate of the Palace was opened to every lady in Avalo Royal city, noble or not. Originally this should be the first royal ball held in honor of King Sébastien but it has been turned into a wife choosing an event.
Even if the many commoners that were allowed into the Palace knew that the king's uncle will not choose them, they were still happy to be given this opportunity.
Today, lady Catherine was also planning to attend the Royal Ball, she was going to attend in the company of the young man from the Ryon household.
This was the best way to announce her engagement to him. This was necessary because a few lords have been sending their sons over.
Of course, this was not because they loved her, after all, she has already been married once. It was because they wanted the power and wealth of the Thompson household.
"My lady someone is at the gate to see you," a maid walked in just as lady Catherine finish dressing up.
