The next morning, Lilith was awakened by a joyful Aideen.
"Today is the day of the ball, Miss. Get up."
Aideen was then halted by Melian as Lilith took her time removing her drowsiness. She was subsequently accompanied by her Aideen and Melian, with Aideen attempting valiantly but failing horribly to hide her happiness. She then stepped outside to find Twyla keeping an eye on the maids and her sister, who were surrounded by a slew of cosmetic artists and maids. She could sense her sister's annoyance and couldn't help but giggle. Liliana glanced at her twin with wrath in her eyes as she heard her laugh, but it quickly became joyful.
Lilith saw a shift in her sister's emotions and turned around to find makeup artists and maids standing nearby. She cursed herself inside. Then a stern-looking woman approached her.
"Miss, we have been sent by your parents to teach you the basics of dance and other manners. My name is Cara. You will both be taught individually. Your sister is now going to learn to dance while you bathe and put on this outfit." Clara handed Melian a gown. I searched for Liliana to help me, but she was nowhere to be found. Aideen took me to the bathroom, followed by a swarm of maids.
Twyla filled the bathtub, which can accommodate at least 12 people, with boiling hot water before adding some herbs, which smelled good and removed tiredness from one's body. Aideen assisted me in taking off my clothing.
Many maids were blushing seeing the young miss body.
When I stepped into the bathtub, gasps could be heard.
"Miss, do not enter the hot bathtub."
"Yes, Miss."
Twyla and Aideen were used to seeing me bathe in boiling water, but the new maids were surprised. They were taken aback by the young lady's lack of red complexion and her calm demeanour. She was genuinely having fun with it. So, it was true that eat does not affect the purebloods. They were taken aback, but returned to their senses when they saw Twyla and Melian assisting her with her bath. She had her shoulder massaged and her hair cleaned.
Twyla and Aideen wrapped her in a towel and brought her to the other side of the bathroom, where Melian was waiting with the dress. They assisted her in putting on the dress. The other maids had already left. She walked inside her room, where Clara was present. Clara nodded in agreement as she looked at Lilith. She let her hair open after applying something to it to allow it to dry naturally. She was then led outdoors to view a group of males. She was advised to pick anyone from among them to practice with as a dancing partner.
"Lady Clara, I am uneasy among strangers."
"Then, miss, do you have any men in mind who could be your dancing partners?"
"Of course I do."
"Dusan!" said Lilith.
A black-cloaked person appeared in front of Lilith. His face was hidden below the hood of his cloak. Only his curled lips in a smile could be seen. Only by looking at his jawline could one tell how attractive he was. Clara, like the rest of the maids, was flushing excessively.
He bowed down to Lilith after making sure there was no danger near his miss. Lilith did nothing except nodding.
"I have a job for you."
"Just say it, miss, and the job will be done."
Many maids were on the point of passing out simply from hearing his voice.
"Be my dance partner." Dusan was in a very awkward condition, while the rest of the individuals in the room were staring at Lilith as if she was something else. "But, Miss, I'm your soldier."
"That's why I'm asking you to be my dancing partner instead of those strange males."
He nodded his head after a few moments of deliberation.
Lilith had finished her lessons about 5 o'clock in the evening. The beginning of lessons was in vain since Dusan was as rigid as a rod. Slowly, he became accustomed to it.
She was told to bathe again in the evening. After showering, servants assisted in dressing her while make-up artists worked their magic. Lilith asked make-up professionals to apply little makeup.
Her off-the-shoulder baby pink dress with a flowery pattern complemented her purple eyes. Her hair was down with some curls in it.
"Miss, you are really attractive." Clara, Cara's sister and a make-up artist, complemented her. Except for the twins, Clara had never seen someone look so gorgeous with minimum makeup in her whole life. Liliana glanced in the mirror at herself and thought she had never learnt about worldly issues or politics in her former existence.
To satisfy Prince Agnus, she mastered four skills: painting, magic, chess, and music. She never considered learning about what was going on in the world, which was her worst error because she had no understanding of anything in this lifetime. She is entirely in the dark and must be vigilant at all times. This ball happened in her prior life as well, and she made a fool of herself. But this time she'd be the one playing them like puppets, and she'd be the puppeteer.
She stepped outside and waited for her sister to come out. Liliana appeared in her white gown, resembling a goddess.
"If you weren't my twin, I'd definitely marry you."( italics= thought)
Liliana couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She didn't care whether anyone complimented her. Only her sister counts in this life. Her maids were perplexed as to why their mistress smiled so brightly and unexpectedly.
Lilith abruptly extended her hand towards Liliana. " Shall we get started, my Lady?" Liliana smiled brightly and clasped her hand in hers as they walked together as if they were a couple. Their servants were taken aback when they saw their miss behaving like a couple. Lilith and Liliana exited their courtyard and walked into the communal courtyard, where everyone was present. There attention was drawn to them when they heard two people laughing melodiously, who turned out to be Lilith and Liliana.
" Greetings, everyone."
Old Madam Feng gave them nod filled with attitude as if she wass looking someone below her. When Ivy and Crystal looked at them, they were envious.
" Greetings, sisters."
Lilith simply stared at them before turning to face Frostine who was standing there silently.
"Sister, you appear to be incredibly lovely and etheral. Many women would be jealous of you."
When Ivy and Crystal were ignored, they became enraged. While Frostine, who was complimented, appeared calm.
"This one is nothing compared to you, third younger sister."
Lilith only smiled coldly, making Frostine sweat a little. Frostine could help but shiver a little while looking at her cold smile and eyes who make her feel that they know everything about her. Except for the twins who were chatting telepathically while Old Madam Feng was oblivious to everything, it quickly became an unpleasant mood for everyone.
"You know what"
"What ?"
"The amount of makeup they wear is equal to their body weight."
Liliana gave a little smile.
Soon after, a soldier reported Carriage's arrival. We all walked outside to look at the three carriages.
Dusan and Vidar moved closer to Liliana and Lilith. Everyone was surprised to see a major rank soldier there. They both assisted the twins to the largest carriage and then departed without waiting for anyone. Old Madam was enraged, but when she saw the commoners, she calmed down and boarded the second largest carriage. Ivy, Crystal, and Frostine must ride in the tiniest carriage, which is painfully tiny.
After a half-hour trip, Lilith and Liliana's carriage came to a halt. Vidar and Dusan shielded them in the darkness, while Storms awaited them in front of the ballroom.
Lilith and Liliana hold their hand. .
"For eternity." " For eternity."
And stepped outside of carriage.
