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 by beautiful candelabras that helped illuminate the way up.
I took in a deep breath and gently walked up ahead.
There weren't servants on 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 had never gone in the first place.
After all, I couldn't turn this down.
It would seem as though I was ungrateful.
