Moon festival ball 2

So many had arrived at the castle, they were all so dressed, some even overdressed which entertained Olympia. Majority of them wore masks while those who she was sure were the same age and status as Patrick and Luana didn't wear masks.

As they got closer to the ballroom where the moon festival ball celebration took place, the sounds of music got louder.

Olympia bit her lower lips nervously, the thought of dancing made her face red, she couldn't dance, she loved playing instruments but couldn't dance thus she made the decision not to accept any request "May I have this dance?" Or worse one of the men may be the king.

"This is not going to be good, good thing all what I am thinking about is those mooncakes" Olympia thought to herself.

The pillars and walls of the castle caught Olympia's attention. Her emerald green eyes widened in curiosity. So many passed by talking and laughing, it was clear that most people present in the castle knew each other.

Olympia eventually got separated from Patrick and Luana who were ahead of her while she was taking slow steps while admiring the castle.

A lot of men couldn't help but to gawk at the golden haired girl behind the silver mask. Her dress alone caught a lot of attention up to her neck and collarbone that a lot wish to feel.

Olympia smiled as she started at the paintings on the wall and the nice cravings.

Suddenly, she noticed those familiar blood red eyes in the midst of the people. It was the vampire but this time he wasn't wearing the mask nor the clothes he was wearing earlier, he was dressed like royalty. He looked even more handsome than earlier when he looked like a gorgeous assassin. He suddenly wore a mask that covered only one of his eyes and waved quite excitedly at Olympia whose jaw clenched and he was gone.

"Why do I keep seeing him? It seems he is really someone special to the king, could he be the king?" She asked herself, her eyes widened in shock.

Olympia almost groaned and screamed but she was surrounded by people. She was so frustrated but she decided to focus on thinking about mooncakes.

"The king appears to those whom he wants to appear too, with the majority wearing masks no one will be able to recognize him" Said a random man to the woman beside him.

Olympia caressed her chin thoughtfully. Hearing that, she was convinced that that vampire wasn't the king.

There were four guards at the sides of the entrance of the ballroom. Olympia finally walked in and it was filled with so many people and amazing soothing music. The room was amazingly bright that it could make the blind see.

Olympia smiled, held her dress and succeeded in walking elegantly. Majority gawked at the golden haired girl in the white dress and behind the silver mask. Olympia was focused on finding the mooncakes other than the people around her.

"It's surprising that everyone dressed so classy and elegant, '' a random masked man commented. "Of course not, it's not surprising, coming to the castle for these humans is a once in a lifetime thing" Another commented.

Olympia wasn't surprised that there were mystical beings between the humans and strangely, she felt that she wasn't going to be safe. It was those beings that got jealous of the golden phoenixes and wiped them out, it was the main reason why her parents always went berserk every time she escaped from the mansion.

She looked around and saw that so many eyes were on her, she didn't like it at all. How were people still gawking at her when she was wearing a mask?

"Olympia, is that you?" A voice called behind her.

Olympia turned to see Mrs Jonas, the woman whom Luana bought her dress from. Mrs Jones knew Olympia very well not from the mansion but she saw Olympia each time she escaped from the mansion.

"How do you know me?" Olympia asked, she was stunned. The woman wasn't wearing a mask like her parents.

Mrs Jonas smiled. "I am Mrs Jonas, the dress looks magnificent on you, it makes my work look perfect"

Olympia was glad though she was fed up of compliments, "I am glad Mrs Jonas, the dress is really beautiful" Said Olympia as politely as she could even though she was still thinking about the mystical beings in the castle and mooncakes.

"Of course," Mrs Jonas smiled and looked around as if looking for someone. "Where are your parents? I haven't seen them around"

Olympia immediately realized that she had gotten separated from her parents when she was looking around the castle earlier. She looked around hurriedly and sighed deeply as she looked back at Mrs Jonas who was also looking around.

"I guess, they are in here, there are a lot of people which is why we can't find them now" Said Mrs Jonas to ease Olympia. Olympia nodded with satisfaction.

"Umm, Mrs Jonas?" She called and leaned close to the curious woman.

"What is dear?" The woman asked curiously.

"You have been here for a long time, do you know where the mooncakes are?" Asked Olympia curiously and excitedly.

Mrs Jonas laughed and shook her head negatively. Olympia moved away and pouted.

"I'm sorry, I haven't gotten the time to look around and as you can see, the ballroom is enormous but I am sure you will find mooncakes soon just don't cause any trouble" The woman informed with a polite smile.

Olympia was disappointed but determined to find those mooncakes, a moon festival couldn't hold without mooncakes. "See you around Mrs Jonas" She waved and walked away.

While the guests were still entering the ballroom, at the balcony of the ballroom were two men, one was very familiar, the mask covered one of his eyes while the other wore a golden mask that covered his entire face and his eyes were closed shut.

"The ball is quite festive, it's quite a celebration not like a road parade like you said." The vampire commented.

"Is that an appropriate thing to say?" The other man asked.

"Hmm, not to you." The vampire replied.

"You haven't told me anything" The man's deep pleasurable voice hardened.

"She is quite a trouble maker, she's brave and not your taste since she is the type that can push you into murdering her at the spot and even with her silver mask, you could tell that she is a beauty, a fierce beauty and a complete opposite of what golden phoenixes are said to be."

The other male's eyes fluttered open immediately the vampire ended his words revealing his blood red eyes that were darker than any vampire's eyes and had a dark shade of purple.
