Chapter 41. a waste!

I stood gaping at the scene before me. Why the heck was there a party going on in full swing in the palace?

Noah seemed to share my confusion, though, he didn't look shocked. If anything, he seemed used to it.

"Why is there a party all of a sudden?" I asked Noah, as he walked towards me.

We had just come back from that horrific interview, and instead of witnessing an angry queen at least that's what I was expecting, I was face to face with grand decorations and lighting.

"It's a ball, by the looks of decoration," Noah replied, after assessing the surroundings. "I don't know, what for."

Before I could say anything else, I saw Alice, strutting towards us from the palace entrance. Her glimmery pink gown blinded me for a moment, and I had to look away to give my eyes a break.

She beamed at Noah, upon reaching us and threw her arms around his neck. "Noah! I missed you!"

"The feeling is...not?mutual," Noah muttered under his breath. I?had?to snort at that.
