Trapped In The Mating Games

The royal ball

~Veronica's pov

During the queen's speech a guard came along and escorted me out of the room

"I'm sorry ms but I was informed to take you out to get fitted for your gown. Since your last name is Clarkson you are first on the list" the guard said to me as I was taken back to my room

Great I have to go to this stupid ball but this also could be a good time to escape when everyone is busy.

I was taken back to my room to be greeted but 3 Middle Aged woman. One who had long red hair that made her green eyes pop and the toner two look almost identical except their different hair colours. One with a light brown and the other platinum blond

"Hello ms Veronica. I'm Stacy in charge of fitting you for your ball gown for the ball tomorrow. These are my twin sisters Megan and Lucy who are also here to help" the woman called Stacy said whilst observing me and the others smiling widely at me

"Oh well hello. I would introduce my self but you seem to know my name already. You don't need to bother with this you know. I'm not one to stand out in the crowd" I say with a small chuckle

"Oh nonsense Veronica. Every girl deserves her time in the spotlight and I'm gonna get the perfect dress for you"

With that she comes closer to me and grabs my shoulders skimming her eyes all over my body

" well you have a wonderful body shape and curves all in the right places. This does make my job easier. Now I need some measurements and then we will go off and make your dress and come back tomorrow"

With that, all three of them woman were measuring all parts of my body for the next 20 minutes also having discussions about design types and what makeup would look best

Once they were done the dismissed themselves and left the room in seconds

————————
It was the next day and the whole palace was going mad for the ball. Lords, ladies, dukes and Dutches were coming to the royal palace to visit the one and only king and queen in the whole world

The world today believes that there should only be one royal family to show them respect

With so many important people coming everyone was rushing around everywhere. We have finally been able to communicate with other people and I can already see potential mates bonding

Girls were squealing about their amazing dresses and how the guess choose their dresses well. This left me curious as I was told everyone's dresses would be custom made.
But what is it to bother me.  Today was the day I escape. My plan was to stay at the ball for a bit and when the dancing starts I will silently slip away gaining my freedom

I was in my room on my phone texting my friends as they were off doing other things getting ready for the ball when I heard knocks at my door

Before I could even go to open it. The 3 people from yesterday who got my measurements came into my room. If I remember correctly their names are Stacy and the twins are Megan and Lucy.

As the entered my room they were holding a dress zipped up in a cover to protect it meaning I couldn't see my dress for tonights. The others were holding all sorts from makeup to hair supplies

"Hello Veronica lovely to see you again. Me and my team spent all night making your dress and if I do say it is magnificent" Stacy said with a massive smile on her face

I could tell she would proud of her work just by the passion she talked about the dress

"So ms Veronica we have 2 hours to get you ready for the ball so I suggest we get started now," one of the twins said to me
