"Any idea why do I have to wear this-" I gasped as one of the maids pulled on the strings of my corset.
"Because, it is to show our feminine frame." Elizabeta said while sipping her tea.
"Whoever said that wearing these things, should go die in a pyre." I muttered as they have finally pulled the last string. I gave a sigh of relief and sat down beside my friend giving her a 'are we done yet?' look. She chuckled, set her tea down and made her way to the closet that is filled with beautiful dresses of different colors. She then pulled out a beautiful (f/c) colored dress. I stood up and touched the soft fabric.
"It matches your skin tone, doesn't it?" I nodded speechless. It is my first time to be mesmerized by just a piece of garment. Sure dresses are the last thing I wanted to wear in public, but this was an exception.
"Now, we don't have all day. Let's put this on shall we?" She held it up and I widened my eyes. Alright I admit I would rather be hanged instead of wearing that.
Unfortunately, after a few minutes of loud cursings, horrible motivation to go on, and pained groans, the dress fit me well. I looked at the girl in the mirror. She wore a (f/c) colored dress matched her skin tone perfectly. Despite her short choppy (h/c) hair, she was beautiful. 'Is that really me?' I thought to myself.
While I examined myself, I heard Eliza gesture the maids that they may now leave us be.
"Do not worry" She says as the maids hesitated. "I can take care of this myself" The maids nodded and exited the room. "Now where were we?" She said as she took some objects out of her table.
"Sit here" She gestured to a chair in front of the table. I obliged.
"Close your eyes." Then she put a small powder on my face. "Done." She announced
I opened my eyes and saw my face, I looked at her uncertanly. Naturally I see a lot of pretty women who has color on their eyelids. She seemed to read my mind. "There is no need for the other. You are very pretty, we don't want to let all that make up ruin you, is that clear?" She said with a bright smile. I marveled my self, true I now look pretty much simple but instead of rudely denying it, I just nodded. "Come now, we're almost done." She said. While she took out a long haired wig that matched my own hair

Arthur was bored once again. He was just there dancing with random masked ladies. He was glad that it was a masquerade ball or else his annoying siblings or anyone he considered annoying would pester him in this event. He bowed down to his partner as their dance ended and he made his way out of the room. He took a seat in one of the empty tables gazed out the window. He saw few more carriages unloading more people in fancy clothes. He longed to go outside and wear more comfortable clothes instead of this monkey suit. Then one guest had caught his attention. As she stepped down from the carriage. He looked down at his table as he young girl saw his gaze at her.

As Eliza, Lovi and I stepped down the carriage. I saw her gazing looking through people as if finding someone.
"Looking for someone?" Teased as Lovino helped me with regaining my balance.
"I'm looking for Roddy." She muttered.
"Who?"
"Eliza's boyfriend and one of potato bastard's cousins." Lovino said as he crossed his arms. I shook my head looking at them. He sighed in exasperation. "Potato bastard! My idiota sister's boyfriend-" As I was about to reminisce who they are Eliza interrupted him. "Look there they are... and he brought Gil too..." She groaned as she seemed to hesitate on going inside or bail on them.
