Hellbound With You novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Frozen in time

Abi and Kelly roamed around the Kingdom's capital that day. They visited a lot of places and ate different varieties of food. The place was very pleasant and just lovely and clean - the cleanest city Abi had ever been to. There were no towering skyscrapers and no heavy traffic, no pollution nor chaos. Trees that were lined on either side on every road and highway were blooming that day and it just looked majestically awe-inspiring.

The place was just filled with beautiful people and beautiful things.

The two best friends had taken countless photos of each other as they continued their joyful tour until night finally came.

Abi and Kelly went back to their hotel early because their whole day escapade tired them out.

Abi was also happy because she didn't feel much of the loneliness from missing Alex that day. She felt like their adventure had soothed her heart so for the first time since she last saw him, she slept soundly that night.

Before they knew it, the sun was already shining brightly up in the sky when they woke up.

The ball that they had to attend was not until 6pm that night so they had plenty of time to spare. The two girls went shopping for the most gorgeous dresses they could find and then found matching shoes. After that, they spent the rest of the day getting massages, manicures, pedicures and getting their hair and makeup done closer to the time.

A lot of preparation had gone into their persons for this occasion which was why, even though this country was known for having the most beautiful people in the world, Abi and Kelly fitted right in.

Once the girls were finally dressed up, they headed out of the hotel.

The trip towards the palace was unexpectedly long. Kelly told Abi that they were heading to the country's palace, the place where the King and his family resided so Abi was excited and she was anticipating to see such a dreamy place.

However, once the palace came into her view, Abi's mouth hung open like a little kid who was on their way to Disneyland and just had caught their first glimpse of the magical place. Her expectations drastically failed in comparison to the beauty she saw at that moment.

It was exactly six in the evening when the two absolutely stunning girls entered the ballroom. All eyes turned to look at them, causing Kelly to smile inwardly. Although she knew that most of these eyes were drawn by Abi's beauty, she was still overjoyed because her friend had easily outshone these beautiful natives just by dressing up.

However, Abi didn't care and didn't even pay much attention to the looks she was getting because she was too amazed by the scene before them.

The ballroom was just breathtaking. The two walls along the rectangular room had big, beautiful windows beneath arches at 2 meter intervals. Golden chandeliers, with 24 candles on each one, hung from the roof on either side of the room as well as through the middle of the room. But the creme de la creme of the room was its ceiling. The big arched ceiling that joined the two walls together had many pictures that looked to have been painted up there, akin to Michael Angelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel. If one wanted to know what life was like back in the renaissance, they would only need to go to this room and look up to be instantly transported back in time.

Abi could not take her eyes off the intricate display until Kelly pulled her back to the present by taking her arm and walking towards a different spot to stay in which was near the open terrace overlooking a beautiful lake from afar. They stayed there for a bit to enjoy the out of this world view.

The sun was already gone and the sky had started to become grey, but the breathtaking view inside and outside the palace only became even more blindingly beautiful.
