She was brought to a room by a gentleman in a tuxedo. The mask she received was a white veil.
Surprised, the gentleman in the tuxedo said respectfully,
"Princess Matilda specially prepared this for you."
Shen Fanxing took it and said in French, "Thank you."
After that, the gentleman in the tuxedo left the room.
She took off her coat and touched up her makeup. Her black hair was scattered because she had tied it into a simple bun when she came in. Now that it was loose, her hair was naturally curled. She rummaged through the dressing table and found a red hairpin. She then tied her hair back with a hairpin and put on the white veil that Princess Matilda had given her.
The white veil covered the face under her eyes. The faint fragrance it emitted made her smile. Her bright eyes glanced at the mirror before she turned and left the room.
She lifted her skirt and went downstairs. The lights in the palace had already lit up.
