As Charlotte was helping me put on my corset along with five other maids, I was screaming my lungs out while blurting out random words such as " Help" , "SOS" , or even sentences such as " beauty is pain" . After I finished putting on my magnificent dress which will surely attract alot of attention tonight, the maids started arranging my hair . The dress I had on was a gown fit for royalty, with intricate layers of satin and lace that cascaded like waterfalls. The bodice was adorned with shimmering gemstones that sparkled in the light, creating a mesmerizing effect. The sleeves were long and flowing, made of delicate chiffon that floated gracefully with every movement. The skirt was voluminous and dramatic, adorned with elaborate embroidery depicting scenes of myth and magic. The overall color scheme was opulent, featuring shades of deep royal blues and purples, accented with touches of gold and silver thread. This dress embodied elegance and grandeur, befitting of an empress. My family was in awwww in front of my looks .The gown huged my curves in all the right places, accentuating my feminine silhouette. The bodice was tailored to emphasize my slender waist, adorned with intricate lace that contrasts beautifully against my smooth, pale skin. The neckline was elegant yet modest, drawing more attention to my hourglass figure. My brown curly hair cascaded down my back, styled in soft waves that framed my face delicately. It brought out my green doe eyes , and highlighted my long eyelashes . The voluminous skirt of the dress flowed elegantly around me , swirling with each step I took , creating a mesmerizing spectacle of color and fabric. This ensemble not only complemented my natural beauty but also enhanced my presence . My mother was wearing a red puffy gown that contrasted with her green emerald eyes .The bodice was structured and adorned with intricate embroidery in gold thread, creating a striking contrast against the vibrant red fabric. The gown hugged her tall slim figure while still emphasizing her feminine curves , and the bodice was tailored to accentuate her small waist .The skirt was voluminous and puffy, made of layers of luxurious satin and tulle that billow out dramatically. As my mother moved, the skirt swayed gracefully, creating a mesmerizing silhouette. The red color is deep and rich, exuding confidence and passion as well as love and warmth. My mother and I were probably going to create a sensation tonight. My brothers and father were matching as they were wearing a black suit that showed off their muscled sculpted chest and made them look even more attractive, hot and sexy. As we reached the venue, we were asked to take out our tickets 🎫 . We entered through the enormous ballroom door while our names were announced by an usher " Duc Charles and his family have arrived".
As time passed , my mother and father were gone socializing and I was left with my older brothers who were flirting around, playboys they are !!! Bored, I went to the balcony to get some fresh air but when I turned around to get back inside I heard Alessandro's name being announced and decided against my earlier decision as I found it wiser to stay in the balcony for a while to avoid awkwardness.Some minutes passed, I heard someone entering the balcony and guess who joined me , "The one and only Alessandro" , our self obsessed crown prince. He was wearing a black suit that embraced well his six pack abs making me drool over him. I guess that black is his color because it made his bloody colored eyes look even more mesmerizing and attractive, as I realized that I was starring for quite a long time I said :
_My Greeting, your highness
_Greeting Lady Alicia
After two long minutes of silence , I decided to talk to avoid the awkwardness that was building up :
_What made our PRECIOUS crown prince come out to this lonely balcony?
_Nothing special, I just wanted to get some fresh air but your presence and STARES ended up suffocating me even more.
_And your arrogance couldn't reach a higher
level, I mumbled while glaring at him .
Upon hearing me, his smirk grew wider making him look even hotter .I sound like i'm in heat but I was indeed loosing control over my knees and the butterflies in my stomach were swirling making my feeling even more intense . My attraction for him was on it's peak so I tried saving myself
_Well your highness I wouldn't want you to suffocate to death so I will take my leave, I declared while going back inside.
I began searching for my brothers and found Henry talking to a gorgeous looking young lady named Fiona Delancia , I teased him and then asked him about the whereabouts of Luc and yeah he was making out with Tessa Marijassa, his fiance apparently also one of the four beautiful stars of the empire. As I was going to socialize alongside my parents, Dione lavipia approched me, she was wearing a glittery purple dress that didn't compliment her body type at all as it was kind of to tight making her slim figure look fat. It also only reached her mid thigh attracting the glares of old insecure women and the attention of old perverted men , the dress was revealing her whole cleveage portraying her as a slut overall. At least now I know that the rumors were true , that she changed her tailor upon hearing that Alexander was also styling my dress :
_ Oh , it has been such a long time since I have last seen you in this kind of EVENTS Lady Alicia .
_ It's a pleasure seeing you too, Lady Dione
_ I'm so jealous of your looks Lady Alicia .
_ Oh , there is no need to be jealous, you are PRETTY too.
_ I really want to be the Prince's first dance partner.
_Oh Lady Dione , YOU are a MODEST young woman , don't worry he will chose you
Ignoring the meaning of my words she just nodded and said while a grin of victory formed itself on her face. A wise man once said discussing with a person of high intelligence is difficult nevertheless discussing with an idiot is even more difficult some may say impossible :
_With that being said have a great night Lady Alicia .
_Hoping the best of nights to you too.
The time for the first dance of the night that was going to be performed by the narcissist jerk , Alessandro and a partner of his choice has finally come. Dione had that fake smile plastered on her face as she waited proudly for Alessandro to come toward her . But unexpectedly, he started walking toward me and invited me to dance " As one of the four beautiful stars of our empire would you mind joining me on this dance Lady Alicia " I cringed at his choice of words but still smiled and refused politely.
