faes did her normal routine along before leaving mystic fog castle. she didn't asked kai anything and he didn't said anything either. faes realised that though she told kai everything trusting him unconsciously he had lots of secrets and wont tell her. she still trusted kai enough to not ask him anything and wait for him to tell her himself about anything he knows but she also decided that until then she was going to keep things to herself that doesn't concern him or till she needs his help. faes also knew it was not a reliable plan as he was practically living in her subconsiousness and had access to what she do but he still cant read her mind.
faes also didn't wore nightlight yet as she was going to study more about it and bloodstone first in case she doesn't set them off accidentally while keeping them together.
she was late today as she also ate breakfast with kai and then was lost in her thoughts and others were already waiting for them in the living room. they were aware that sky sleeps with faes so they didn't asked anything but faes was late and they were about to enter the room and check on them after not getting any reply for a long time! they checked her for any illness but when they found both sky and faes fine they calmed down.
"your highness her majesty have sent dresses for you to choose from for the ceremony and the welcome ball that is today" robin said
at faes nod the dresses and many jewellery was bought in the chambers making her eyes go wide. 'what the hell! they are beautiful but too many!' faes exclaimed in her mind amazed by the dresses but didn't let it show outside. she was supposed to be a good princess after all! she should be used to them by now according to everyone. 'only if they knew that i am not from this world' faes sighed as she glanced at various dresses.
"your highness you should try all of them then choose it will be better that way!" emma said making faes go alert. other than spiders the thing faes hated was shopping and trying dresses along with makeup as her skin was sensitive to various chemicals.
now that emma suggested trying the dresses robin and others agreed right away making faes to stare at them in horror. even before she can argue she saw sky noding.
'traitor' faes glanced at sky who just giggled in return.
submitting to her fate faes agreed as she didn't want to make others sad. in her past life, she just bought whatever she found necessary and didn't had anyone who would go shopping with her. she also didn't had enough money to buy expensive branded clothes but it didn't matter as she didn't had any friends to invite her to parties. but now in this life, she was a princess and was supposed to dress up nicely especially for a welcome party for herself and her sister.
faes glanced at the seven people who looked excited and expectant to see her well dressed so she didn't had the heart to refuse. they were getting to grow on her now.
emma, robin and sarah took the clothes and jewellery in her room while the boys waited outside. they made faes try various dresses and she did a little catwalk for them increasing their enthusiasm. faes was happy as she saw the others watching her happily. they can only dress her as sky was still in her dragon form and they can only dress her after the ceremony so that they know her measurements correctly.
faes was tired after trying all the dresses as she laid on the bed while everyone was watching her with a smile. it was the first time they had seen faes act like her age girl and were happy. but they also sensed that she did that for them so they were also grateful that a princess was ready to do something she didn't liked for servants like them.
"your highness which one would you like to wear?" robin asked
faes glanced at the people waiting for her answer and sighed getting up. she was feeling hungry after trying those dresses!
"i would like to wear that purple one" faes pointed to the dress she liked the most. it was a dark purple velvet dress that faes found was most comfortable and to her liking. it had a plain top with full loose sleeves and v neck and harem pants. the neck area were decorated with white gems arranged in such a manner that it looked like there was snow falling. the lower area of the harem pants was also decorated with white ribbons. there was also white ribbons and gems on her waist but it was comfortable. there was also a big snowflake at her back.
faes found it easy to move around in such dress and it was fine to wear too! she might just begin wearing similar things other than pants and shirts daily but that will have to wait for now.
everyone agreed and after deciding on the jewellery and shoes her lunch was prepared. her shoes were white plain flats while she was just going to earrings that had small snowflakes hanging on thin platinum threads and a silver chain bracelet that had purple snowflakes hanging from them.
faes actually suspected that robin and emma actually knew that she would choose the purple dress hence they prepared the similar jewellery in advance as there wasn't much similarity to the other dresses and jewellery with them.
but faes wasn't complaining!
after lunch sky took a nap while faes did her study and paperwork that she have to do now being a princess. faes already hated the paperwork but she just treated it as her homework and finished it as soon as she can. then in the evening robin knocked on her door and told her that the party and ceremony will start soon.
they made faes take a long herbal bath and helped her get ready. faes directly refused any makeup they tried to put on and told them about her sensitive skin which left no room for argument and they let her be. after they decorated her long black hair and she put on a purple mask that covered her upper face and matched her attire she was ready. her half hair was left to freely hand on her back while other half was decorated in a braided bun. there was a simple snowflake shaped pin attached to the bun to keep it in place, even though it was a simple design it looked good on faes.
faes was quite irritated as what took her maximum half an hour to get ready took about two hours with robin emma and sarah.
sky was also given a nice herbal bath and her head was covered with a white scarf.
with both of them ready they headed to the ballroom where faes was going to be annoyed till the nobles weren't satisfied by befriending her. faes was only attending it because it was hosted to welcome her and sky and sky was going to transform into her human form which was an important event for both of them.
faes took a deep breath staring at the royal family standing in front of two massive closed doors all dressed nicely. the king was dressed in a suit with a big red golden cape on his shoulders and a crown on his head, the queen was dressed in a similar yellow long gown with a similar cape on her shoulders and a tiara on her head. aiden and blake were also dressed in dark blue and black three piece suits respectively with their own capes in their shoulders though instead of crowns they wore golden diadems which had the dragon kingdom's symbol on it.
as faes approached them they smiled at her beautiful appearance while at the same time they found her cute. sky was sitting over faes shoulder as she cant walk properly till now for long distances.
"you both look beautiful dears" the queen said after faes greeted everyone.
"thank you aunt nuri you all look good too" faes replied making others smile widen.
"now we need to get going if we don't want to make everyone wait the nobles can be quite irritating at times" the king sighed.
"wait!"
