Arrival
The moment the carriage that brought me inside the imperial palace reached the building where the Winter Ball would be held, I felt like running away.
Seriously.
But I steeled myself, especially my nerves and kept moving forward.
I was greeted by Kai who helped me off the carriage he commissioned to fetch me from the Celestine Residence. I couldn’t help but fidget since I could feel the stares of everyone in the area.
“Nervous?” Kai asked.
“Very.” he chuckled in which earned him a glare from me. “This is my first time to a ball, or any formal party actually. Not to mention this one is hosted by the imperial family. All sorts of people will be here to gawk at us.”
He led me inside the building and we crossed hallway.
“Why would you think people would gawk at us?” he asked again.
“You’re the white headed cursed prince. Plus, this dress is definitely eye-catching.”
