The Masked Ball Upon Your Return - Episode 24 On the evening of the ball, she stood in front of the mirror as she prepared to leave. She wore an emerald gown with a matching glittery, feathered mask, which covered part of her eyes and nose. Her flame-colored locks were piled atop her head in a coronet with the other half falling like a cascade down her back. She wore emerald slippers and toted a like-colored bag. Donning a black shawl against the cool of night, she went to join Rosalie and Helene downstairs.

If she genuinely likes her mate, if that warmth is real, then why is she causing so much trouble for him? Mallory glances over her shoulder and lifts her hand in a graceful gesture.

They were not expecting something like this. Adam takes out the card and reads it. “Congratulations! You’ve been invited to the ball of the year.

But everyone here is wearing a mask, making it difficult to recognize anyone.

With their appearance, some one could easily tell they are no set of good people.

Jasmine's blush pink gown was as light as air, her mask adorned with tiny pearls, making her look every bit of the fairy-tale queen she had always dreamed of being. They entered the ballroom together, their bond unspoken but strong. Tonight was fun, mystery, and being part of something magical. The grand ballroom was magnificent, crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling high above their heads, casting a golden glow on the masked guest faces. The soft hum of conversation mixed with strains of classical music as the guests danced and mingled beneath the glittering lights.

I “My Swan, let us go to the venue now; I guess they are looking for us already.” Dareon held her hand and guided her until they reached the opulent Ball hall where the Masquerade Ball in celebration of the Wedding Anniversary of the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Gold Valley will be celebrated. The Ball hall was already full of visitors; no one could really recognize the other visitors unless they removed their masks. Even the King and the Queen wore masks. They wore Peacock masks.

Each attendee is directed to select a mask from the counters, setting the stage for an evening of mystery and style.

Politicians, heirs, foreign investors. Masks mandatory. Names optional.
