CHAPTER 8
Two hours before the ball, invited individuals enter the palace riding beautiful carriages. Each carriage represent the representative of an official or the official itself, in each carriage there are two maximum people who have their invitations checked by the guard because the officers implemented a policy of "No Invite, No Entry".
Loreine and her workers rented three carriages so beautiful enough for the guards to consider them as princesses of a powerful family. As the six of them enter the party, wives swarmed them asking them about the dresses they're wearing; what fabric they used, what gems are used on its jewels, and how much is it.
The adviser of the king announced the entrance of the royal family, "ATTENTION TO ALL, NOW ENTERING THEIR ROYAL MAJESTIES AND HIGHNESSES". The eyes of all point towards the indoor balcony. The King enters accompanied by his queen, four concubines , and five children with two princes and three princesses that does not include the princess who will hold her debutante. As the royal children greet everyone in the ball, a very close customer of Loreine's boutique asked, "Where's your apprentice, dear? Did she not received an invite?". " Forgive Senora Capiz, who are you talking about?, Loreine replied with a worried face. The countess was in shocked, then she thought , "Then again I don't blame her to cover for her apprentice, after all not attending to a ball where one is personally given by an invite by a royal official result to death in other words you'll get executed".
