Kapitel 2: Ball night
Two days had passed since the encounter in the woods – two days of ceaseless contemplation, and yet Lilith had seen no trace of the enigmatic stranger. The memory lingered like a wisp of smoke, elusive and ephemeral, leaving her yearning for answers that remained just out of reach. The castle walls seemed to whisper secrets, and Lilith found herself drawn to the shadows, as if they held the key to unraveling the mystery.
The day of the grand ball had arrived, casting an air of festivity throughout the castle. As Lilith prepared for the evening's affair, her reflection in the mirror seemed to hold an unspoken story – emerald eyes veiled in contemplation, lips painted with a hue of rebellion. The maids fluttered around her, their praises woven into a symphony of adoration. "What a beautiful princess you are," they exclaimed in hushed tones, "you're so beautiful, you almost look like you're the one who's going to be betrothed."
Lilith's response was as flat as her expression, her voice carrying an undercurrent of bitterness, "I wouldn't want to be in my sister's shoes. I hate demons, and their future queen in particular." The maids exchanged hesitant glances, taken aback by her frankness. But Lilith paid them no mind, her thoughts consumed by the approaching event and the emotions it stirred within her.
She wears a white gown that flows elegantly around her slender figure, matching with her white hair that cascades over her shoulders. The gown has a low neckline that reveals her fair skin and a slit that exposes her long legs, which are accentuated by silver heels. The gown is adorned with silver embroidery and lace, giving it a delicate and refined look that sparkles under the light. She accessorizes her outfit with a silver tiara that rests on her forehead, a pearl necklace that drapes around her neck, and diamond earrings that dangle from her ears. She looks like a fairy tale princess or a celestial being, radiating beauty and grace.
Once her preparations were complete, Lilith swept down the corridors, her gown trailing behind her like a river of moonlight. She found her sister, Lila, in her own chamber, adorned in resplendent attire that befitted a princess. Lilith's gaze swept over her elder sibling, a mixture of admiration and concern dancing in her eyes.
Lila is a stunning young woman with green hair and red eyes, which give her a unique and exotic appearance. Her hair is long and wavy, falling over her shoulders and back. Her eyes not so bright , reflecting her emotions and personality. She wears a really beautiful dress that suits her perfectly. The dress is made of silk and chiffon, with a deep green color that matches her hair. The dress has a fitted bodice that hugs her curves and a flowing skirt that reaches her ankles. The dress has a sweetheart neckline that shows off her cleavage and a thin belt that cinches her waist.
The dress is embellished with silver sequins and beads, creating a dazzling effect. She wears silver sandals on her feet and a silver bracelet on her wrist. She has lightly made up her face, enhancing her natural beauty. She has applied some mascara on her lashes, some blush on her cheeks, and some gloss on her lips. She looks elegant, graceful, and confident. She is ready to impress everyone with her charm and style.
"You're so beautiful," Lilith breathed, her voice sincere and softened.
Lila's smile was bittersweet, a mask that hid the weight of her impending destiny. "You're just as beautiful as me, little sister," she replied, her words carrying a hint of warmth that belied the tension that lay beneath. Lilith's keen eyes didn't miss the stress etched onto Lila's features, the subtle paleness that spoke of sleepless nights and hidden worries.
Without another word, Lilith took her sister's hand, the bond between them unbreakable despite the differences that set them apart. "Let's go," she said, her voice gentle yet resolute. Together, they made their way towards the grand ballroom, the strains of music reaching their ears long before they crossed the threshold.
As they entered, the sight before them was nothing short of enchanting. The ballroom glowed with a warmth that matched the flickering candles that adorned every corner. "Wow," Lilith whispered, her emerald eyes wide with wonder. The decorations were elaborate, a tapestry of colours and elegance that transformed the room into a realm of its own.
Lilith's gaze then fell upon the dance floor, where guests swayed gracefully to the rhythm of the music. She watched as couples twirled and spun, their movements a dance of finesse and grace. For a moment, the weight of her worries lifted, replaced by the allure of the festivities. But even amidst the beauty, her thoughts were never far from the stranger and the cryptic aura they had carried.
A gentle hand on her shoulder pulled her from her reverie, and Lilith turned to see her father – the King of Humans – approaching with a smile that held a mixture of pride and affection. He enveloped both his daughters in a warm embrace, his eyes filled with paternal love. "You are both extremely beautiful," he proclaimed, his voice resonating with pride.
His gaze lingered on Lila, the intended bride-to-be, and his expression softened even further. "I'm sure you'll be happy in the future with the Demon Queen," he added, his words meant to reassure and console. With a gentle hug, he conveyed his support for Lila's role in the upcoming alliance.
The atmosphere was serene, a calm before the storm of formalities and festivities. The king's suggestion for Lila to dance with him was met with a nod of agreement from his eldest daughter. As the music swelled, the two shared a dance that transcended the steps and gestures. Emotion flowed between them, unspoken words exchanged through the language of movement.
The world around them seemed to blur as the music swirled, and for a moment, time itself stood still. The bond between father and daughter was palpable, a connection that spoke of shared experiences and unbreakable love. And then, as if guided by an unseen force, the music ceased, leaving the room suspended in a moment of suspended anticipation.
It was then that the royal family made their grand entrance. The king, the queen, and Ava – the future queen of the demon realm – stepped into the ballroom, their presence commanding the attention of all who were in attendance. Lilith's rubies eyes widened as she took in the trio, each figure a pillar of authority and power.
Ava short black hair was neatly tied up in a bun, revealing her sharp features and her piercing mauve eyes. She wore a black suit that consisted of a tailored jacket, a vest, a shirt, and a pair of pants. The jacket had a single button and two flap pockets, and the vest had four buttons and two welt pockets.
The shirt had a pointed collar and a placket, and the pants had a straight cut and a crease. The suit was made of fine wool and had a subtle pinstripe pattern. She wore a red tie that added a touch of contrast and flair. The tie was made of silk and had a small knot and a dimple. She also wore a pair of black leather shoes that matched her suit. She exuded a seductive aura that drew the attention of many, but few dared to approach her because of her cold and aloof expression. She was a woman of power and beauty, but also of mystery and danger.
