The Masquerade Ball (2)

The sun had just set and Gladiolus and I got to the ballroom just in time. Inside was filled with nobles invited for the said event. They were all wearing their masks with different decorations.

"I guess we need to wear our masks now." Gladiolus said and waved to his servant.

Not long the servant came back with a box. When he opened it, there were matching white masks with gold accent inside. Gladiolus took out the female mask and looked at me.

"Here, let me help you." Gladiolus said. He gently placed the mask on my face and tied it. "I am a little sad that I cannot fully see your beautiful face." He placed a kiss on the back of my hand. Gladiolus then wore his mask on.

At the entrance of the ball room the herald announced our arrival.

"Crown Prince Gladiolus and Crown Princess Alicia." The herald said with a loud voice.
