Chapter 41 - Lady Rubia

Once it was 2 o'clock I headed for Jeanette I mean Jenny's house and It was as grand as my house. The Butler opened the door and I came out, Jenny was waiting for me. She took my hand and led me to her room, although it was a beautiful room one couldn't tell because of all the designs and fabrics.

****************************

She put her fingers in a rectangular shape and examined me, ''What types of dresses do you like?'' I replied, ''simple dresses'' She clasped her hand and replied, ''Then we'll do an extravagant dress.''

****************************

Her eyes almost glowing. ''What type of makeup do you prefer?'' She asked, ''Light makeup''. ''Great we'll do medium size.'' She showed me the design, it was a typical ball dress but with a lot of net and the hand was like Snow white's dress hand.

****************************

The eges had laces and glitter and the skirt had designs not my style, the colour was pink and the mask was pink. She made me wear a very high heel and changed me into the dress, I felt like pukeing.

****************************

She added a black eye shadow and bold lipstick to my face and made me wear lace gloves and more jewelery. I didn't look like me but she wasn't done, she covered my skin with another skin tone and let my long black hair down.

****************************

''Perfect, if they ask you, your name is, Lady Rubia from the house of Barcelona alright?'' I nodded. We boarded a different carriage, Jenny's dress was also extravagant but the colour was icy blue.

****************************

We arrived at the masquerade ball, there was an announcer saying everybody's name and house.

''Lady Rubia from house Barcelona.''

''Lady Ellen from house Friedkin.''

I looked at Jenny, house of Friedkin huh, the music started playing. I saw Luther holding a lady by her waist, kissing her forehead. My eyes dimmed but I made it dissappear, sure enough he looked at me and strode over.

****************************

''Your highness.'' I greeted, he held my hand and kissed the back of my hand. ''Will you honour me this dance?'' I replied, ''Of course your highness.''

****************************

The music started playing, we danced just how we did at the first ball but I was under disguise as Lady Rubia. ''What's your name.'' Luther asked, ''Rubia your highness.'' ''Rubia what a pretty name.'' Luther replied with a smile on his face.

****************************

Although I was smiling on the outside but inside I was cursing this ba^tard, ''Hmm are single by any chance?'' Luther asked, this is not what I was expecting. The last hope I had was shattered with this sentence.
