Two days had passed, and the bustling of activities in the castle had intensified. The masquerade ball was to be held in two days, and everything needed to be perfect before then.
Lilith had not been able to train for two days now because Lucian had gone to another town at the request of the prince. She was not told the reason, but she assumed it had to be quite important for Lord Lucian to put a pause on their training.
She had also not had much encounter with the prince either—something she was somewhat pleased about. Instead, she spent her days with Fiona and her sister, listening to them talk excitedly about the ball. Fiona had told her that they would be going to the market by evening. Since neither the prince nor Lord Lucian was anywhere in sight, she decided to ask permission from Madam Thalia, who granted it.
