"Final III" Chapter 7

I might do side stories, so keep reading!

Also big thank you for those who waited for the chapters! 

P.S. School is starting up again so I might not upload for a while and I have plans for a week or so. So, if I don't upload it does not mean I quit. I mean that is if I don't finish this book first.

Finally we meet two end's and the driver asks us opening a mini speaking whole to talk from. "Excuse me you're highness and lady Jenette. Sorry to disturb you're precious time together but do you plan on going to the dukedom first or the castle?".

Jenette replied for me "To the castle first please" she said happily.

I looked at her for a moment and asked "why?" and she replied "Because you're highness palace worker's might be worried since you didn't inform them when you shall return!".

"Right!" I instantly replied.  

Time skip few days... Sorry but I have an good plot idea for the side stories/story so I got to end it now....

It was finally the day of my ball I spend the last few days with Jenette buying, preparing, and just talking. She was a very good distraction. Well in a way I think she purposely tried her best to make me avoid having thoughts. 

But now I was remarkably worried. Lucas said he'd come back before my birthday or on my birthday. But I still haven't seen him anywhere! I guess he'd be at the ball? The ball was in the evening and it would carry on past mid night.  

"Princess! It's time to get ready!" I heard a maid call out...

'Oh- no- nonononononononono' as I made my way to hide I felt multiple glare's being throne at me.  "Princess~" .... 'shoot-'  

Soon enough the maids got me and began the dressing up transformation. It was and still is a painful process but I kept that to myself as Lilian and the maids seemed more than excited for this event. After all it only comes once in someone's life. 

Lilian and the maids put me me in the dress I chose. It was made of soft fabrics and silk translucent fabrics. It looked a bit mature. something I was going for. The inner layer way a pink piece of soft fabric so, I didn't seem naked in the dress. The outer layer's were all silk translucent fabrics the top only had 1 of two layers and bottom was nicely made some layers had beautiful flower print.. The sleeve's we're see through and thin as the end's we're decorated in lace. The whole outfit was maid with pink and some contradicting colours that put the outfit together.

Then they moved to my hair. They carefully brushed my hair and than began curling. Each curl carefully done. They made sure some curl's stuck out at the front as they placed two beautiful flower head piece's decorated with gold strands on each side of hair. It really pulled the whole hairstyle together. and I began staring in the mirror in awe. 

Soon they began on my makeup. They decided to keep it simple so I could look natural. They added a slight bit of blush and some pink eye shadow on my eyes. They finished my face of with some light pink lipstick which really made my face glow. In terms of beauty. 

Now they just needed to add the last accessories and shoes. Not trying to overdue the look the maids placed a small pair of golden earrings and a few bracelets on my hands and arms. They asked me if I would like to put some more jewelry on and I declined I myself thought this much was more than enough. Going to far would ruin the whole aesthetic. Then they placed my shoes on my feet. It was a pair of heels made to match the head piece and dress itself. As the colours of the heels contradicted the dress and was decorated with the same flowers and gold strands from the headpiece. The strands covering the shoes in a elegant design and the flowers looked like they were growing of the strands.

(A/N - Sorry if the description was bad)

When the maids finished they looked so proud of their work and I thanked them a lot especially Lilian. I felt so much older in this dress and that made me feel a bit better. Maybe it's because I'm not a child anymore and therefore I should not be treated as a child. 

(Mini time skip) 

I waited outside Jenette's door. She was changing in a different room. I knocked on the door and said "Jenette! Are you done? If so may I enter?". It took a few seconds before I got a reply back. "Yes. I'm done you can enter!" It was Jenette's voice. 

I walked in to see Jenette fully dressed up. 

(A/N - sorry in advance for my explanation because it sounds messy in my opinion. Plus I tried changing some things in the picture in the description. And sorry if my design knowledge is trash.)

Jenette's dress was much more simple than mine yet elegant. It was a shoulder less, sweetheart neckline dress in blue. The bottom layer was a normal skirt and the front area was covered in ruffles. The bottom was finished off with many layers of translucent blue fabric covering the ruffles. The sleeves were two simple straps of blue silk fabric ending with the same blue translucent fabric to form a slight ruffle finishing with a silk cut to add to the design. 

She wore two simple silver chains one small and one larger and then some nicely maid pearl earrings ending with a larger pearl at the end of each earring. 

Her hair was made into two buns. One small and one large. The larger one was laid at the bottom and the top was a small simple bun. The front hair was maid into larger curls which really suited her dress. She wore no head piece but even so she looked wonderful. 

Her makeup was a bit of blush, a very light shade of peachy pink eye shadow, and the same light peachy pink shade lipstick or lip-gloss to finish it off.  

The whole combination looked very nice. 

"You look wonderful!" Jenette said. Her words snapped me back to reality and I immediately replied "You too!" In response. She smiled at me and we began to talk about the ball as we waited for the carriage. We would be entering together. 

It felt nice to have her around to talk to. She was really understanding and an amazing friend although I kept that to myself. 

"You're highness and my lady the carriage had arrived" a maid said right after bowing. 

We nodded in reply and signaled her to go as we made our way outside to the carriage. We we're both excited for this day and I felt so very happy. 

(Mini time skip) 

We had reached the main castle and entered the ball together. And soon enough we we're immediately swept apart. Many nobles tried making advances on me. Some knowing I had reached marriageable age talked to me about their sons and some noble boys asking me for a dance which I respectfully declined. Many noble ladies tried making connections with me and when that didn't work. They went to Jenette trying to get closer to me through her fully aware of how soft hearted she can be. 

One hour had passed and I was annoyed. Not to mention, that Lucas was not here at all. I went out to the garden and sat at the empty bench far deeper inside the garden. I was a bit annoyed until I saw a similar dark black haired figure near. 

"Lucas?" I said. 

"Hello princess~" He replied in a teasing tone.  

He was in a red and black suit. Very different compared to his usual black cloak he wears but in a way the colours contradict each other. 

"What took you so long?" I asked a bit annoyed at his abrupt entrance and the fact that he immediately began teasing me. 

"Well um.." He looked as if he was struggling with words and his face had been painted with a light shade of pink. "Well what? Just say it!" I was getting angrier and my curiosity got the best of me as I let my emotions take over. 

"Well you said..." He paused for a minute, most likely not knowing how to approach the question. I looked at him dead in the eye. Until finally he gave me an answer. 

"Well you said you wanted a dragon... So, um... Getting one was a bit more difficult than I had thought it would be in the past you see... And that is why I was a bit or very late to you're ball..." He paused in-between sentences but eventually finished and told me why. I felt a bit shocked until it hit me. 

Flashback 

(I re-wrote this. So, it wont be as accurate as the old chapter's because I already explained that those chapter writings is very bad. Since I just started out making a book back then and this was my first book.)

"Hey princess! What would you get for a person you like's birthday?" Lucas asked me not even hesitating on his words as he continued to tease me with the whole 'princess' name. 

I glared at him for teasing me as I processed the words he said to me. I started feeling a bit jealous. I mean I didn't have feelings for him... He was like a brother of mine! This was just a sisterly instinct. I began lying to myself as a way of comfort. 

Soon I realized I needed to reply but instead of answering I questioned him instead "You have someone you like?" I looked at him with curiosity. To my horror his face turned a visible shade of pink. 'Just a sisterly instinct.' I lied to myself yet again. 

"Well answer my question from before first!" his words knocking me out of my strain of thought. I picked the first words that came in my mind "I don't know a ... Dragon?". 

He looked at me for a moment. We both just stared at each other. "Well now are you going to answer my question?" I asked fully aware of what his answer would be. He opened his mouth to say something but ended up making a very obvious excuse to leave. 

I took amount to think to myself. 'Well it's not like he's actually going to find a dragon and bring the girl one'. I laughed at the answer I gave him. 

Although it would be nice to have a pet dragon... 'Gah'... What am I saying! 

Flashback ends

"Wait you LIKE me?" I asked in dire shock. I swear my face was beginning to heat up. 

"The dragon is in the magic tower I can give it to you later....?" He said avoiding my question as he began to flush up. 

"Answer my question!" I asked. I was anxious for an answer.  

"Well...I do... like you! I've had a crush on you for awhile now!" He replied with a few pauses sounding a bit embarrassed. 

"I-...I also like you! It took me awhile to realize that I did so um-" Before I could finish my sentence Lucas hugged me. I hugged him back. It was a relive knowing he liked me to. 

He held me in his embrace for quite a while until he regained his prosper and his teasing tone. 

"Then may I have this dance Princess~" He said in a much more flirtatious tone. 

Although this time I didn't retaliate instead I replied with "You may!". 

We made our way to the ball room. 

And he once again offered me his hand as we began to dance. 

(Pretend their wearing the outfits I showed before for each picture.) 

My first dance as of my coming of age to my crush. 

"Crush? Crush!" The end ... (See you in the side stories/story) 

Sorry if Lucas didn't sound like the story one. I'm not that good with romance.
