After all her preparations she only had to meet the crown prince when they were in the royal hall for the welcome ceremony.
The beautiful green dress she wore was very similar to the current coat of arms of the kingdom of Madoga an eagle on a lotus flower with wings spread wide. It signifies great power and strength.
Her face unaccustomed to wearing make-up, she was adorned by the palace maids with the color of her dress.
She was still imagining how they would be the center of attention with matching dresses that she had dreamed of. Before that, she wondered how he would look at the suit she had placed on the bed in the pavilion.
Ah, if only she could capture that rare moment, she would remember it for the rest of her life.
She couldn't wait to attend this big event, she waited for it and started preparing carefully.
She was probably even happier when he picked out the dress when she offered him the choice. Even though he didn't remember this incident, Matyelda was still happy that he said he left everything to her. That way she was involved in this.
This stupid girl still doesn't understand, she who is ignored openly, sometimes Dave's words can be very painful, she who cares alone is still blinded by Marlin's doctrine towards her. To be dutiful somehow she was treated.
Fully prepared, she began to walk with the servants to the palace hall. The event had already started, she realized it was late but somehow she just needed to be near dave.
Her face broke into a smile as she entered the palace's grand hall. The crowd of nobles was dense but still within reason as it only invited certain ones without the commoners.
Her feet ached from stepping on the high heels, her hands were tired from holding her dream dress that was troublesome.
To her, it shouldn't be that hard to find a dave, she just needs to see the same dress as him.
But in this crowd she had the wrong idea. The green color that Madoga is known for, she was not the only one wearing it, but there were several nobles wearing this color.
She didn't swear, but instead scanned the hall corner by corner. Her concern for the anxious Dave was that he was not yet in his deck.
People would question how their marriage was going. So she should meet him as soon as possible before any nobles noticed and asked him.
Her feet went back to walking with heels that hurt even more.
Tired. Well she felt exhausted. But keep looking, as her feet started to move again after pausing for a moment, she faintly heard Dave's voice talking.
"cahtrine, you changed the look of your hair." dave seemed to be talking to the same woman in the room earlier this afternoon.
Matyelda saw clearly at that moment.
"I need a new look." Her reply was exactly what she expected.
The first thing she noticed was that his suit was not the same as hers. He even looked good when the two of them were together.
Matyelda began to notice the woman's clothes, she was not as excited as she was, the girl from earlier was wearing a suit that symbolized her profession.
She didn't use thick makeup on her face, her skin wasn't as pale as hers, her hair was in a regular bun not like the one in the full bun.
When he called out to her it sounded cozy and warm, her name was pretty, not like she was too old-fashioned and frumpy.
Slowly he realized what the difference was between the two.
Seeing how she spoke to the other person and smiled softly even she seemed to be used to doing that. he might be able to imitate her, but they would still be different even if he changed his appearance just like catrine.
Her lips began to tremble. In the place where she stood when the ball started, somehow her consciousness responded to her dancing together with the dashing count.
Her mind drifted blankly.
"Hy miss, what dance can you do?" The man asked as their feet stepped instinctively.
She paused and then noticed how the contemporary suit was being worn by the man currently dancing with her.
"I've only been learning tanggo for a few days, please understand if it's not good." Matye spoke with his mind still filled with jealousy towards Catrine.
As he finished his sentence, their movements slowly came to attention. Both of them were enjoying themselves without thinking about how others would see them.
In the middle of their dance, dave suddenly saw her and he knew how his girl was dancing with someone else. He was being a spectator for his girlfriend at the moment. he felt a little upset seeing that.
With a feeling that was hard to explain, his face began to blacken with anger. How could she do that at the ball, the other nobles would ask and even her romance was almost hot news that he almost heard.
