Chapter 8. The Ball.
Minto and Retasu reached Retasu's room out of breath.
"Retasu, I'm so going to kill you. You made me ran all the way here. Do you know how painful my feet are!" Minto said grumpily
Retasu giggled.
"Minto-san umm could you..."
"what?"
"Help me pick a dress for tonight's ball?" Retasu blushed
"Ooooo, so you are going?" Minto teased.
"Shh, Minto-san."
Minto closed in and whispered in her ear "So, who's you're partner?"
Retasu blushed. MInto grinned.
"I-I don't have one yet,"
"..." Minto grinned
"Why, do you have a partner?" Retasu sneered
"..." Minto couldn't say anything as she blushed.
Retasu laughed
"OKAY ENOUGH! LET'S GET DRESSED!" Minto shouted,
They searched Retasu's cabinet for the best dresses, but finally after a 2 long hours of searching they found the perfect dresses.
Minto got hold of a sea blue dress with transparent cloth covering the first layer. There were ribbons colored dark blue on her shoulders and around her arms.
"You look great, Minto-san!" Retasu exclaimed.
"Now it's you're turn"
"Okay!"
Retasu put on a green dress with transparent cloth covering it. It had long sleeves and a V-neck.
gasp "Kawaiii!" Minto said.
Retasu, tied her hair to a french braid. And now they were ready for the ball.
And luckily they reached the ball room just in time. They were excused for not having partners that day. Thank goodness the king couldn't make it to the ball or he would have made Retasu go with Masaya.
The big doors opened and out came the princess. She slowly stepped in to the room and looked for the man she loved.
She didn't find him, only her fiancee drinking (unfortunately). She went down the stairs but she didn't walk towards him .
Retasu stayed in the corner and waited and waited for Ryou to show up.
Suddenly :
"Would you like to dance, your majesty?" a person wearing a mask offered a hand to her.
Retasu remembered Ryou as she looked at the man standing in front of her and immediately accepted to dance with him.
She smiled at him. He brought her closer to the dance floor.
"Excuse me, but I see your with my princess" Masaya butted in.
The masked man didn't say anything. Masaya took Retasu's hand and danced with her. Retasu didn't blush but felt disappointed instead when she saw Masaya.
Then suddenly the lights turned of. Shouts and screams were heard from every part of the room , mostly from girls. Retasu was too disappointed to even care so she stayed still.
"Kiss a person and that person will be with you wherever you are, and he or she will stay with you for the rest of your life. Good luck"
Masaya said nothing more and tried to kiss Retasu. He held her arms tightly so she wouldn't escape his embrace. But she managed to slip away. Masaya couldn't see anything in the dark so he grabbed the arm of a girl who was coincidentally standing beside Retasu and gave her a wet kiss.
The girl blushed. Little did Masaya know he didn't kiss Retasu but her advisor, Minto.
In the meantime Retasu was still running when she bumped into somebody. That certain somebody looked like he knew who he bumped into. Retasu looked up. Then she noticed an arm around her waist and a hand on her cheek. Retasu knew that this person wasn't Masaya because of his gentle ways. So she didn't reject him. She knew he was going to kiss her. The man leaned closer and closer. Retasu closed her eyes. The guy closed the gap between her with a soft and tender kiss.
Retasu blushed as she kissed back. Then the lights started to flicker and turn on. Retasu opened her eyes as she broke the kiss. Suddenly :
"R-Ryou?"
