xxxxxa masquerade ball, apparently this was ro's time. it had been a few months since she'd finished her sword training, a few months since she had been kidnapped and blackmailed by a nobleman. she still didn't know his name and, honestly, she didn't care to. all she did care about was getting out of the situation she was currently in. she was being held hostage by the man, who refused to let her go until she had helped him carry out his dirty work. he had told her that he would kill both her and all of her family if she didn't assassinate the queen. to ro, this was extremely idiotic. why did he think she'd be able to take down the queen more easily than a trained assassin? she had no idea, all she knew was this was the only way.
xxxxxshe began to change into the dress the man had provided for her, with that help of one of the many maids in this manor. once she was dressed, ro pulled her dress up and tied a small sheath around her thigh. she slipped two throwing knifes into this sheath and, after wrapping them in cloth, also slipped two knives into her bra. ro was quickly escorted by her personal guard and hopped into the carriage that the man had provided for her. this was her one chance for freedom.

ADELAIDE

xxxxdark brown eyes stared fixed on the ceiling, and adelaide audibly gasped when her corset was pulled tight. upon her body was a beautiful, slim gold and white dress that flowed past her feet. though thicker than most dresses, it let her move swiftly and didn't restrict movement in case something were to happen. placing her white, gold laced masquerade mask upon her face and applying dark red lipstick, adelaide knew that something always happens. and why wouldn't it? a ball was the perfect opportunity to do such things ─ mass royalty, rich families, important figures. all of them could be wiped out in a second, leaving only the maids to clean up after.

xxxxadelaide looked in the mirror, furrowing her eyebrows. "the ball starts at sundown, your majesty. sundown is ten minutes away." the queen nodded, and turned to look at the servant who addressed her. "thank you." she said softly, and the servant left. adelaide left her room shortly after, her shoulders back and her lips in a frown. the disciplined expression and nature of her made servants scramble out of her way, sometimes causing her to let out a little giggle.

xxxxxthe man's wife rode in the carriage with her. her name she did know, it was adelaide. ro had a deep hatred for her. she had been the one who approached her offering her a job. she had been the one who locked her away, starved and threatened her until she agreed to be their personal assassin. "your name, for all purposes tonight, is katherine winthrop, you are from london and your father is a famous artist. also, you are no way tied to this family. still, if anyone asks you who you are, dont answer. this is a masquerade ball, no one should be asking," adelaide told her in her high pitched snobby voice. ro nodded and shifted around in her long dress. "you should feel lucky you know, no peasants every get into royals balls," the noblewoman said to her. that sentence alone made ro want to strangle the woman in front of her.
xxxxxsoon the carriage pulled to a stop and the footman helped both adelaide and ro out of the carriage. the two ladies walked up the wide marble stairs to the door of the victorian castle. the castle was huge, bigger than any of the surrounding buildings. it was even bigger than the training school. as they neared the announcer, her stomach began to churn. would she even make it into the building?

ADELAIDE

xxxx adelaide stepped out onto her balcony, located in the center of staircases on either side of the large room spiraling into a magnificent ballroom the masquerade was being hosted in. food and drinks were set up, and guards were posted, ready for anything. adelaide’s eyes moved to the band that was getting ready to play, their colours complimenting the white marble stage and gold lace that surrounded it. beautiful, colourful paintings hung from the walls near the entrances, drawing your eyes towards it. adelaide may not love the royal lifestyle, but everything was gorgeous.

xxxxshe smoothened her dress, before putting her hands on the balcony and offering a smile to some servants. the top of the staircases and all around the balcony were being guarded, for no one should be able to get close to the queen; but the rest of the top floor was open for wandering, all rooms being guarded. adelaide barely worried, but an uneasiness was in the air tonight. she raised a hand, and her voice rang out clearly in the empty’s ballroom, ”open the gates.” and so, they did. a stream of people flowed into the ballroom, and adelaide began to smile and wave; a mask, sitting beneath the masquerade one that sat on her face.
