The next day.
The sunlight was already streaming through the curtains landing on flora's eyelids. She creased her brows and rolled on the bed as her eyes adjusted to the brightness to the sunshine pouring through.
"Its morning" she yawn as she stretch her body.
She hurried to the bathroom take a warm bathe and put on a simple gown despite the simplicity of the gown she still looks beautiful and breath taking.
Flora ate at the dinning table alone, the whole place was so silent and scary at the same time like a graveyard,nobody to chat with or talk to.
"Argggh" she murmured.
"Miss we will be sneaking out of the house. Don't forget our plan"Hope whispered into flora's ear.
The butler was standing not too far from them looking at Hope in a suspicious way.
"Hey go back to your quarters" he ordered witg his eyes fixed on her.
"Okay"
She was about leaving when flora held her hand.
"I need her to show me around the house " she lied.
" okay but i can also show you around this place" he said boldly.
"No you are boring to move with " she responded in a harsh but low tone .
"Is that an insult or a compliment " he asked
"Both"
"Thanks miss"
"The pleasure is mine"
Hope led flora to the south wing monarch room.
"I don't think this plan will work or what do you think"
" it will flora"
" The old fog is a maniac,he is only the obstacle on the way i know a way to get rid of him. No need to worry" Hope said boastfully.
Hours pass by,time for the mission is at hand. Hope brought out two gorgeous gown one was designed pure gold while the other one was diamond.
"This is the cloth we are putting on to the party" she handed the diamond one to flora.
"Wow so beautiful "
" am glad u like it . Well he is the love of my life that bought it for me"
" this will cost a fortune"
"And here are maskes we will be putting on" she raise two face mask,same color with the cloth.
" we are gonna rock it." Hope yell in excitement.
They sneak out of the house with the help of some maidens. They took a cab it took them hours to get to the events.
Hope brought out a green card and show it to the person at guiding the entrance to the green palace
"confirm"
Unfortunately they were not allowed to put on a face mask because it was already getting dark. The large opened wildly revealing the beauty of the environment.all eyes were fixed on flora and hope as they stepped into the palace. Hope was scared,Arlong must see her ,she bacame more scared when she realized she won't putting on a mask.
Many people filled the palace with their look one could tell,they are highly respected people,just their outfit could coukd feed a generation or beyond. The palace looks like a museum, the hallway of the palace had a large and beautiful molded panels which looked very expensive. As they walked further, flora gaze fell on the sculptures, she could even bet that this sculpture might be built in the 1700's cause it looks old and beautiful also it looks neat.
" babe keep admiring,i want to go look for my man. Wait here please"
"Okay"
Hope left leaving flora alone, flora continued staring at the beauty of the palace just then a hand dragged her holding unto her hand taking her somewhere in the palace.
" why are you here?and how did you get here?" Ziel asked confusingly
" i came here alone" she lied.
" That is not true it is impossible, am taking you to Arlong this minute" He said as he grabbing her hand . flora was losing her mind. This is never going to happen,i can't let this opportunity pass me by, i need to see my father. This guy is a demon,how the hell did he see me among the crowd. I need to do something. Many thought was running through flora's head as she bit ziel hand hardly and ran away.
