Juliet was overjoyed that Luna was returning to the kingdom today because she had missed her terribly.
Juliet sat on a bench in a castle garden, staring at the main big gate as she waited for a car.
Juliet was lonely because Alyssa was ill and Alexander was with Jace in their private house.
Loukas and Ronin were preoccupied with the ball's preparations, which irritated Juliet because she couldn't play or talk to anyone.
Juliet was well aware that no matter what happened, Luna would always listen to her rants and complaints.
“What are you doing over here, beautiful?” Ronin inquired as he sat beside Juliet, who sighed and rested her head on Ronin's shoulder.
“I'm bored and I miss Luna a lot, so I'm waiting for her and Draco,” Juliet said, staring at the gate, hoping the car would arrive soon.
"They won't be here right now." Ronin spoke solemnly as Juliet sighed and inquired, "When will they arrive?" Juliet pouted, Ronin replied, "They would be arriving at midnight."
"I am bored," Juliet sighed, as Ronin laughed and drew Juliet in for a hug as he spoke, "I know my princess, and I am sorry because we are all busy with preparations, no one can give you much time."
"What are you doing over here?" Juliet asked, perplexed, as Ronin smiled at her.
"Well, my princess, I thought you could go shopping for your dress with all the girls, so I just came here to tell you to get ready because I will be dropping you all there at the mall," as Juliet squeaked happily while hugging Ronin and kissing his cheek because she loved shopping.
“I can hardly wait.” Juliet laughed as she looked at Ronin, who smiled and nodded.
“Yeah, so just get ready,” Ronin said as he stood up and extended his hand to Juliet, who took it as they walked back to their room.
“Does this ball have any importance?” Juliet inquired, perplexed, as Ronin hummed, to which he replied, "It's really important because we'll all be announced as kings and queens."
Juliet stammered out, "I-I will be a queen," as Ronin opened their bedroom door as they entered.
“Yeah, because you're my mate,” Ronin said as they both went inside the wardrobe to find a comfortable outfit for Juliet.
“It would be difficult, and there would be so many responsibilities,” Juliet said as she matched her jewelry to her outfit.
While Juliet took out her heels, Ronin hummed as he replied, "Yeah, but we're all divided into north, south, east, and west, so if dad tells me to rule for the south, I'll only care about their matters."
“Oh, Jace will look after one, right?” Juliet inquired, grabbing her dress, to which Ronin replied, “Yeah, but we will be taking care of everything until Alexander is okay,” as Juliet entered the washroom.
Juliet exited the restroom while wearing a blue spaghetti knee-length strap dress, sat on a chair, and wore white heels.
“How about Sam, Amy, and Kim?” Juliet inquired as Ronin sat next to her and assisted her in wearing her necklace, to which he replied, “Well, I and Lou are investigating them.”
Juliet nodded, saying, "I'm worried because I'm sure they'd attack Luna first," as she wore her earrings and bracelet.
“Luna is a strong girl, and breaking her is the most difficult, so just stay strong and nothing will happen,” Ronin said as he watched Juliet re-apply her make-up.
“No, she may appear strong, but she is extremely weak,” Juliet said after applying lip gloss.
“So, I'm assuming you're the strongest?” Ronin inquired, and Juliet responded, "No, Luna and Alyssa, including myself, are weak because, even if Luna is stronger than us, Sam, Kim, and Amy are vampires."
Ronin knew Juliet was correct because, in the end, Luna, Alyssa, and Juliet were still humans, which meant they weren't as strong as Kim, Sam, and Amy.
“That is true, but I promise I will not let anything happen to you,” Ronin said as Juliet grabbed her purse and kept her necessary items in it.
Juliet laughed as she said, "says the person who is so busy and can't keep me company," which made Ronin laugh.
“I hope all of our problems are solved quickly.” Juliet sighed as she looked at Ronin, who smiled and nodded while holding Juliet's hand and saying, "Hey, don't worry, all of our problems will be solved."
Juliet trusted Ronin, but she was still afraid of being hurt or witnessing others being hurt.
“No, Ron, can't you see that our problems have only just begun?” Juliet said as Ronin looked at her, puzzled but concerned.
“What exactly do you mean?” Ronin asked, perplexed, as Juliet sighed and replied, "The way Kim, Sam, and Amy were talking about getting rid of us scares me," causing Ronin to sigh.
Ronin rubbed his forehead and said, "I can tell, but they won't do it," which made Juliet frown because Ronin had sided with Sam.
“How can you be so certain?” Juliet asked, irritated, and Ronin replied, "Well, because if they wanted to do something, they would have already done it," to which Juliet sighed and shook her head in disapproval.
“You won't believe how strong and evil they are,” Juliet said as Ronin turned her around and looked her in the eyes once more.
“Look, Jewels, I dated Sam before, and she is not this type of girl,” Ronin said, while Juliet clicked her tongue and mumbled, “I knew you would say that.”
Ronin's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at his sad mate which now bothered him because he was the cause of it.
“I'm not saying you're wrong because you have evidence, and that evidence is that you all heard them, so not all of you would lie,” Ronin said, proving his point as Juliet pushed Ronin a little while she sadly stood up.
Juliet asked, "Why aren't you siding with me if that's not the case?" Ronin responded, "I won't side with anyone unless I find solid proof, but I know you all aren't lying," as he stood up.
“Do you believe me?” Juliet inquired as Ronin hugged her from behind and responded, "I never said I don't believe you, I just meant that we need to be cautious and wait to see what they want," making Juliet smiling.
“But what if they injure us in the process?” Juliet inquired, concerned, and Ronin replied, "They won't be able to come near you all if we are with you, so we will make sure to be with you," as Juliet turned around and hugged Ronin.
“Ronin, I don't ask much, but all I want is for all of us to be safe from whoever is behind all of this,” Juliet said honestly, while Ronin hugged her tightly and said, “And I will keep you safe because it's my duty.”
