I walked into the ball, my tummy filled with twisted knots and my heart beating rapidly.
From the moment I had walked the steps leading up to the ball, my body felt on fire.
The stairs were quiet and lit up with beautiful candelabras that helped to illuminate the way up.
I took in a deep breath and gently walked up ahead.
There weren't servants by the left and right sides of the stairs but instead well dressed omegas on guard.
They didn't say a word to me, their face remaining motionless while I ascended the stairs.
Unknown to me, the moment I went past them, they would turn their eyes to stare at me.
I ascended the stairs anxiety building up as there was no one else.
How late was I?
I considered turning back to leave, but told myself that Nanny Nia and Hildegard would have me strangled if I never went in the first place.
After all, I couldn't turn this down.
It would see as though I was ungrateful.
