'Well, off we go', mother said cheerfully as we stepped into the carriage. I lifted my dress a bit to prevent accidently stepping on it. It was as blue dress, as blue as the sky on a sunny day, with a white corset and light blue details. My lightbrown hair was loosely tied into a ponytail with a small dark blue ribbon. My mother wore a more golden brown dress with a very wide skirt that reached the ground. Her darkblond hair was tied back into a perfect bun. My father wore a traditional black suit. His hair was pulled back, which made him really look like a gentlemen. A friend of my father, Lewis, insisted to bring us to St. Paul's cathedral, where the ball will be held. He has got a beautiful black carriage with crimson upholstery. Two beautiful brown horses were ready to pull the carriage. Lewis helped us to get into the carriage, which was very kind of him. After we all sat down, we set of to the Cathedral.

My mother and father were talking the whole ride, while I was stroking the suitcase of my violin, an old ritual of mine. It's not because the suitcase feels nicely soft, but it helps me to concentrate. To remind every note I have to play, every count of the melody. And while I recall this, I stroke in the same rhythm over the suitcase. My eyes stared absently to the many buildings and houses. Because it was already dark, every light on the street and in every house were on. Every carriage you could see carried an small lantern, which I think it's really lovely. As I continued to admire the city, I wasn't aware of the carriage which was passing us on the left side.

'I'm so excited', said Evie. 'Who would have ever thought we will be invited for an exclusive event? By Her Majesty herself!' She was wearing a red-orange dress, which looked a bit like the dress she wore at her last ball, but with tiny black details that functioned as the finishing touch. For once she didn't put her hair tightly into a bun, but into a braid that was made sideling on her shoulder, accenting how long her hair really was. It reached just at her waistline. There were still a few bangs that loosly hing around her face like always.

'I'm also looking forward for this,' said Henry, who was holding Evie's hand. 'Who would have thought we would become Knights of the Order of the Sacred Garter? And you know what I'm most looking forward to?'

'No', said Evie curiously, looking at Henry. Henry smiled at her and squeezed her hand softly. He wore a grey suit with a red bow tie that was matcing Evie's dress.

'To dance with you,' he said tenderly.

'Awww Henry, that's so sweet,' Evie said while blushing. She put her free hand over Henry's which was holding hers. They smiled warmly at each other, a nice and comfortable silence lingered around them.
Someone was unexpectedly chuckling. Evie was brought back from cloud nine and looked at her younger brother annoyingly.

'What's so funny Jacob?'

'I'm sure the only thing you're looking forward to is to eat all different kind of cake the will have there,' answered Jacob teasingly.

'I do not,' said Evie. 'I actually want to dance with Henry too.' And to emphasize her statement, she leaned against Henry, while Henry carefully freed his right hand from Evie's and put his arm around her shoulders carefully, while placing his left hand into Evie's hands.

'Sure you do sweet sister. Sure you do.'

Evie sighed heavily and leaned her head into her neck.

'You're not letting this go anytime soon are you brother dearest?'

'Not a chance dame Evie Frye.'

The last time they had seen the queen, Evie was invited to stop by at Her Majesty home. All three of them remembered that day as clear as if it only had happened yesterday.

'Arise.'
All three stood up once more. After beating Mr. Starrick, they have received several bruises and scratches, but to them it was all worth of it to this specific moment. The Templar was in power of London way to long. It's people had suffered long enough. Crawford Starrick let the citizens starve in order to increase the wealthy among every templar. At the top of that. Parents were forced to let their children work in dirty and very dangerous fabrics to earn enough money. There wasn't a day passing without hearing screams of pain or cries from exhaustion. The children were very skinny and had huge bangs underneath their innocent eyes. This went on for a whole century. At last, last night, the first step to recovery of London was taken as soon as the Shroud fall from Crawford's neck and the Frye twins drilled their hidden blades multiple times in his body. And when his blood flowed across the stone floor, they knew that they saved the queen and saved whole London from making anything worse. Preventing the Templar Order from dealing more destruction into the society. And now, at this very moment, the trio is getting one of the highest rankings you possibly can get:
'I invest you all in the Order of the Sacred Garter.'

'Miss Frye?'

'Yes Henry?'

'Uhm. Well... Uhm..'

'You do know you can call me and my brother by our first names right?'

'Yes of course miss Frye! I mean, Evie! Well... I have to say that you look very beautiful tonight. And I like the new hairstyle you have. It really suits you, although, their isn't really wrong with your usual hairstyle. But uhmm..'

'Just tell my sister what you want to tell her Greenie,' Jacob interrupted Henry's attempt to say something. 'It isn't that hard! How long do you know each other? One year?'

'Jacob!'

'Evie!'

'Jacob, quit it already! It's not funny!'

'I know that! I'm just trying to man up Henry and get this over with!'

Henry had a very good idea as soon as Jacob said that.

'Well, in that case, is a certain brother of my sweat girlfriend a bit jealous?'

'Jealous? Why should I? Sure I love my sister as a brother, but honestly I have a different interest than yours Henry. No offence dear sister.'

'None taken Jacob. I'll always love you too as a sister, even though you're as stubborn as ever, but I must agree with Henry. What's with you today? Do you need someone to hold you?'

'You know perfectly well sister that's not the case. I do however prefer, Greenie, that you make your compliment towards my sister a bit more proper. Otherwise I need to rethink about my blessing for you two.'
Evie shot her brother an angry look. Henry however let go of Evie's hand and hold it in the air as sign of surrender. 'Oke, I promise, but I'm still curious,' said Henry.

'Maybe this will be you're chance to find you're soulmate.'

Jacob, who was leaning with his elbows on his knees, relaxed and leaned back against the couch, dropping his arms backwards like he Always did. 'Who knows Greenie,' answered Jacob playfully. 'Even so, I can't wait to prove my right as soon as Evie will be rolling on the dancefloor from all the cake she'll be served from Her Majesty's recommendation.'

Henry was more than glad the trip won't take that much longer before they arrive at their destination.
