Theo managed to recall the exact path he took and got back to the lobby. There wasn't a single other person there. Even the rows of maids and butlers were gone. Theo looked around for a clock, but he couldn't find any.

Just as when Theo was beginning to think he was late or went to the wrong place, a maid walked up behind him.

"Mr. Preston, are you done with your tour?" She asked.

Theo turned around. The maid was one of the two that guided him to the dressing room.

"Yeah," Theo said.

"Great. Will you follow me to the ballroom for the ceremony? The time is still early, but considering your current status, it is best for you to wait for others rather than the other way around."

"Sure, no problem."

The maid nodded politely and began leading Theo away.

"Wait," Theo said.

"Is there anything wrong?" The maid stopped and asked.

"No, but earlier you said this outfit was picked out by the princess. What did you mean by that?"

She chuckled.
