A/N: this is going to be kind of short cause the last one was long and there's a specific point this has to end at.
As I pulled off my mask a collective gasp rang through the Theater of Tales... so the rumors were true. I looked around bravely and bowed, almost sarcastically. I looked at all the shocked faces around me, Sophie looked appalled, and the most shocked of all was Tedros. He was convinced that he was dueling a boy by my skills. That's when the whispers started.
"There really is a girl in Valor Tower"
"What's so special about her?"
"Ugh, and it's the reader!"
"Tedros still has his rose who is he giving it to?"
The last question was from Beatrix, obviously. Sophie started screeching for him to give it to her from her seat in the pews of Evil.
Still star struck, Tedros extended his hand, holding out his rose. A small smile played on his face. I hesitantly took it.
"So," he asked quietly, "Do you have a name?"
I turned around figuring to announce it to everyone, "My name is (Y/N), and I am the girl living in Valor Tower!"
A/N: that was really short but it made sense to end it there... the other parts will all be longer.
