Alyssa smiled as she exited the washroom after a bath. It was now 4’0 clock as one hour was left before the mating ball started which now didn’t make Alyssa nervous anymore.
Alyssa noticed Loukas reading a book as she sighed. “Why are you pretending to read a book? Just don’t read if you don’t like it” Alyssa spoke as she shrugged sitting on the bed making Loukas confused.
“Who is pretending?” He questioned trying to cover the fact he was which made Alyssa sigh. She shook her head as she stood up and spread the towel on the sofa while she spoke “well one you don’t like this book...” She turned around as she grabbed the book and turned it around “...and two you are holding it upside down” Alyssa giggled as Loukas frowned closing the book since he knew his mate caught him.
“Okay you got me darling so why don’t you settle and sit right here next to me” Loukas chuckled out as Alyssa did what she was told while she rested her head on her mate’s shoulder who sighed rubbing his hand up and down her arm.
“What’s wrong?” Alyssa questioned making Loukas sigh yet again as he spoke “It’s just that after we mate you will feel pain and it would hurt like almost every single day” averting his gaze from Alyssa in the end because he never liked hurting her ever.
Alyssa shook her head as she wrapped her arms around Loukas’s chest while she gave him a toothy grin.
“I can handle any pain you know” Alyssa tried brightening Loukas’s mood as he gave her a weak smile.
“You don’t understand sweetheart, I will drink your blood every day and give you mine a bit so you can turn into a vampire” Loukas now explained that scared Alyssa but she just smiled.
“Well, if drinking my blood would mean I will forever be yours...I am down for it” Alyssa whispered as she pecked Loukas who smiled kissing her back while he pushed her down.
Loukas broke the kiss as he spoke “Aren’t you being sweet today” while he went for another one but got interrupted by a knock on the door which made him groan as he sat up straight.
Alyssa giggled as she kissed Loukas’s cheek while she sat up straight as well.
“Come in” Loukas yelled as the door opened revealing a butler and a maid. “Sir it’s time” The butler named Steve spoke as Loukas hummed standing up.
“I will meet you soon” Loukas smiled as he pecked Alyssa’s cheek and walked inside his walk-in-cupboard while Alyssa stared at him.
“Come on Princess Alyssa” The maid spoke while they went to the walk-in-cupboard that belonged to Alyssa. They entered as the maid pointed at the sofa while Alyssa hummed and sat on it which was placed nicely in the middle of the room.
“Princess, have you decided what you want to wear?” The maid questioned as Alyssa nodded her head and shyly pointed at a red full sleeve off-shoulder mermaid dress while the maid smiled nodding her head.
Alyssa took the dress from the maid as she went inside the changing room to change while the maid matched the jewelry and shoes to go with the dress.
Alyssa walked out all shy as the maid smiled gesturing her hand which Alyssa grabbed and sat on the sofa.
“Princess, I think the combination of silver will look great with the dress you selected as it had a hit of silver color touching” The maid spoke as she hoped Alyssa agreed since Loukas’s ex-girlfriend always screamed at all the maids for being in lower rank and touching her.
“I think your idea is amazing. If you don’t mind, can you help me with the makeup as well?” Alyssa questioned making the maid smile as she knew that Alyssa had a pure heart and wasn’t like those people who treated her badly because of greed.
“Sure princess” The maid agreed happily as she gave Alyssa silver heels with silver hoop earrings and a small delicate necklace to go with the dress.
Alyssa hummed in approval as the maid combed her hair making a fishtail in the end.
The maid gave Alyssa a red lipstick which she applied after that the maid did her make-up.
Alyssa stood up as she stared at herself in the standing mirror while she hummed all happily. “I look amazing and it’s all thanks to you” Alyssa spoke making the maid smile who cleaned the mess they made.
“Can I know your name?” Alyssa questioned while the maid nodded her head happily “It’s Flora” Alyssa smiled as she nodded her head while she kept on staring at herself.
“Alyssa I am going first. Make sure you don’t fall and embarrass yourself” Loukas laughed out as Alyssa giggled while she heard the door close.
“Are you ready, princess?” Flora questioned as Alyssa took a deep breath nodding her head.
Flora opened the walk-in-cupboard door as she held it for Alyssa to walk out. They walked out of the room while Flora took Alyssa to a small room as she gave her a water bottle.
“Just sit and relax. Your sisters would be here soon as well” Flora spoke as she waved at Alyssa and walked away.

Juliet was sitting on the bed while she was cuddling with Ronin who very much enjoyed it a lot. “Nervous?” Ronin whispered in Juliet’s ear who shook her head to a no.
“I like balls and always wanted to attend one so I am just happy I get to go to one as a real princess” Juliet giggled out making Ronin laugh while he cuddled her from behind.
A knock on the door was heard as Juliet glanced at the time. “Come in” Ronin spoke all sad knowing he had to now separate from Juliet for a while.
A different maid and butler entered the room around 4’0 clock making Juliet happy as she knew it was time to get ready for the ball and the fact, she gets to see Ronin in his role as a prince.
“Are we disturbing you?” The butler named Jake questioned as Ronin nodded his head. “it’s okay. Would you mind telling us what’s wrong?” Ronin questioned as he flashed a cute smile at Steve who bowed a little.
“Um sir, it’s time. Princess Juliet needs to get ready.” The maid named Shimmer spoke as Ronin nodded his head letting Juliet go.
“Shimmer you can go inside Juliet’s walk-in-cupboard and wait for her there while Jake, you go inside my walk-in-cupboard and wait. We will be there in a second” Jake and Shimmer nodded their head and did what they were told to do.
Juliet turned around as she smiled at Ronin who smiled back. “See you after some time. Don’t be nervous when you enter the ball at the announcement and if you get nervous just look me in the eye and forget everyone else” Juliet nodded her head at Ronin as she kissed his cheek.
“Thank you, Ron, but can’t we see each other after we change?” Juliet questioned as she kissed his cheek while he stood up shaking his head.
“We can’t because we aren’t supposed to see each other at least for an hour. It’s a rule that we aren’t supposed to break no matter what” Ronin explained making Juliet frown but nodded her head.
Ronin went to his walk-in-cupboard leaving Juliet who took a deep breath hoping the maid isn’t rude.
Juliet entered the walk-in-cupboard as the maid bowed her head.
“Princess my name is Shimmer and I would be helping you today” Shimmer spoke impressing Juliet who bowed down a little in respect as well.
“Well, I hope I don’t disturb you much” Juliet giggled out making Shimmer giggle as well.
“Any dress you selected?” Juliet nodded her head as she skipped towards the dress and showed it to Shimmer who hummed happily.
“You can change into that while I will match everything with it” Shimmer spoke as Juliet hummed taking her dress and going to the changing room.
After few minutes Juliet walked out wearing a white, blue, and black ombre ball gown dress that was sleeveless.
“Do I look okay?” Juliet questioned Shimmer who turned around as her mouth dropped. The dress suited Juliet perfectly which made Shimmer smile and nod her head.
“You look beautiful my princess” Shimmer spoke as Juliet’s cheeks turned light pink in embarrassment.
“T-Thank you” Juliet stuttered out as she sat on the sofa while Shimmer gave her white and black heels that had dark blue glitter on them.
Shimmer helped Juliet wear her heels while Juliet sighed thinking how her sisters would be doing right now.
