Iza had been on her way to find Sora when the lady appeared with her mysterious announcement. The woman's words had a strange effect on her and she felt a little dizzy. "Too much champagne..." she murmured to herself. Her eyes searched the crowd again for Sora. But then the lights went out and she had a slight moment of panic. When they relit, the room seemed changed, and so was she, but she had no idea of it. She was the Duchess of Kaua'i and always had been and she was here at the event of the season in the finest gown from the House of Worth. It had cost a small fortune but then, she could well afford it.
Another quick scan of the room and she saw her husband and quickly rushed over. "Oh darling! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!" She smiled and waved her fan at him as she approached. "Where have you been hiding?" She was all a twitter about the events of the ball, the selection of fine sweets, and the latest fashions she'd seen on the other guests. "Have you seen what the Viscountess is wearing? I would never have picked that color, but.. well," she waved her fan in a 'you know' sort of manner before attaching herself to his arm. "Have you seen the prince yet?" She scanned the crowd. "Have you had the champagne? I overheard it was shipped from Paris especially for tonight. I must get the name of their supplier... Have you seen the Viscount? I was thinking perhaps we should invite them to our estate for the summer, he's terribly nice."
When she paused for a breath, she noted that he'd been unusually quiet. "Is something the matter my love? You haven't been quarreling with the Count again, have you? He always puts you in a foul humor. Come, would a dance with your beautiful wife cheer you up?" She gave him her sweetest smile and flicked her fan open, hiding all but her eyes, so she might bat her lashes at him.

He sighed deeply tidyng his hair one last time while looking at the driving mirror. The usual gross feeling of his hands getting cold and sweaty because of the nervousness really bothered him at that moment.
A mysterious invitation appeared on his doorstep before the New Yearsâ Eve. Since then he had been thinking about this intriguing fact in the back of his mind. There were just a few people that knew his address because of security and privacy reasons, so probably it came from an acquaintenceâŚ. But who?
He tried to drop some hints for the people close to him, but nobody seemed to know about this mysterious ball. Before getting out of the car, he murmurs to himself âI hope this isnât one of Yuuchinâs pranks or I will feel very stupid.â.
If something happened at the party, he already had sent a message for the manager saying where he was that night.
After coming all the way here, the only option was enjoy yourself, right?Â
Maybe he would even meet familiar faces on the ballroom? Maybe it was just a big prank? He secretly wished so.Â
As expected, after the reception room there was a stupidly big staircase.
Why chateaus didnât had elevators these days?
Walking down any kind of staircases without falling or missteping at some point was a really big challenge for him. Just remembering about falling many times at the Music Station stage was a thought that made him shiver.
After entering the place, he couldnât focus on that one thing anymore. His easily distracted nature was overwhelmed by the decoration, the guests and the impressive ballroom. Everything looked like a scenario straight from Hollywood.Â
That was the exact moment when he bumped into someone and almost lost his balance.
Aika arrived at the large Château; Château Ohana where the anonymous grand ball was being held. She got off the car that had driven her there once the door was opened for her and then looked around. She felt happy with her dress choice upon seeing all the suits and fancy dresses and smiled confidently as she turned her head to her date. They came together for lack of other dates and to have someone to go with. And because Aika was young it would not be a good idea to go alone. Well that is what her stepfather had said. She didn't mind going with Tamamori at all though, she knew it would be fun.
Without any hesistance the young, petite female grabbed the man his arm and hooked theirs together. "Let's go!" She said happily as she already started to walk and pull him along. She wasn't a follower, instead she always did whatever she wanted making people trail behind to follow her. Or try to.
Purposely isolated from the rest of the guests, a man stands on the balcony and observes the crowd as the men and women devote themselves into an elegant yet seductive dance. The young King sighs in boredom and fiddles with one if his sleeves when a knight approaches him, carrying a silver tray full of snacks. The amount was too much for the King, it was obvious that he wouldnât be able to eat it all, yet he refused to share it with his Knight. âYou may leave now,â he shooed the Knight away in a polite yet strict manner immediately to have his peace. He didnât need to be under protection at such an event, nothing could go wrong.Â
The young Kingâs mannerism was sometimes comparable to that of a child. How he was stuffing his mouth with various delicacies without a care in the world as he watched the show from his balcony. Little did he know, there was someone lurking out there who wasnât from his world.
Tora had been waiting inside his car for about 10 minutes now. The raven had been trying to calm himself down a little for  the party. He took one more look at himself through the front mirror. âAlright, you can do this.â He whispered to himself; a little bit of motivation.
With one last deep breath, he got off his car and started to walk to Naoâs place. He had in his hand, one white rose. A little something to give to his date for the party.Â
Hopefully, Nao will like it.
He rang the doorbell, waited for a minute or two before the door opened and Tora smiled at the other. Nao looked amazing in his suit. âHey,â Tora started as he gave the white rose to Nao. âYou ready to go?â

As they entered the ballroom, she could only stare in wonder. It was magnificent! And she squeezed Sora's arm, in an effort to temper her excitement and to keep from jumping up and down. In her heels she'd probably break an ankle or two. Not to mention it was unladylike. Izanami had been in lavish places before, but this was a delight to the eye and she could not stop staring. So far the promise of something extravagant and luxurious had been delivered. And she wanted to fully avail herself of all the joys such an event had to offer.
So engaged by the sights and sounds of the ball, Iza hardly heard her date's words as he asked if they should wander around and get the lay of the land. She nodded absentmindedly and fully intended to follow him, but she caught sight of the lavish tables filled with champagne and food and sweets. In no time at all, her feet carried her in that direction.
There was so much and it all looked delicious. She took a glass of champagne and walked around it, wondering where to start. For one so incredibly petite, she had an appetite that could rival a sumo wrestler. Sora assured her before they'd arrived that there would be so many people here, no one would notice how much she ate. As sweets were her favorite, she decided to start there.
"Well.... maybe just one..." she picked up a macaron and then piled three or four more onto her little napkin.
It was unusual for him to attend a party where the identity of the host was unknown. Yet something about it made him curious. Extravagant event? He had heard the rumors but he wanted to see it himself whether they were true or not. Lucky enough his schedules had given him a day off this specific day which made it possible for him to travel to this place .. Chateau Ohana.Â
With a well mannered posture the idol greeted the sophisticated man, bowing politely as he faced this stranger together with his wife, his arm linked with hers securely. âThe name is Sakurai Sho and this is my plus one guest, my wife Satomi-san,â he waited patiently until the man found his name on the list and allowed him to enter the hall.Â
âI have to admit Iâm impressed,â he spoke in a soft tone to his wife, âI almost feel like we have traveled back in time. What a beautiful place, donât you think?â He scanned his surroundings, the hall was still quiet and empty. âI hope that we get the chance to meet the host, soon. It would be rude of him not to show his face after arranging a party like this,â he said bluntly.Â
At that moment he couldnât have known of the future events. This party was going to be a blast, but not exactly in a way he expected.Â
That was all the explanation that the Duchess got when she was told about the incident. No more details, just that he was âkilledâ during hunting. She couldnât cry because she was at court at that time and everyone was anticipating her reaction. Would she break down and lose herself or would she stand her ground?
She held her head up and gave a short nod to the messenger so he would leave. It was suggested that the Duchess be escorted back to her chambers but Chaerin protested against it. She wanted to finish the court meeting instead of putting a halt and giving these people a chance to gossip about her. They can do that on their own free time.
That night, the Duchess indulged herself in alcohol, talking relentlessly to her handmaiden about how she ended up marrying the Duke of Hanelshrine.
She is the only daughter of the Kingâs third brother, Prince Charles Lee. She has no hold to the crown as she has five older brothers. But since sheâs the only daughter, she was sent off to a wealthy and known noble family. Strengthening their hold not only to power but also to fortune and fame.
Despite the arrangement, Chaerin never loved the Duke of Hanelshrine and the Duke has shown love for hunting more than to his wife. This lead the Duchess to turn into "extra curricularâ endeavors. Not too long, the Duchess found out that the Duke has his own extra curricular activity and the two has settle down into an agreement; theyâre secret stays safe between them and they will protect their reputation and marriage for the sake of their name.
2 weeks, the Duchess endured the mourning, the black and the fake sympathy of their so called friends. The death of the duke made her sad, of course, he was good to her after all. But his loss doesnât affect her as much as everyone thought; everything was named after her, all her riches and his combined made her a very wealthy woman on her own. And itâs hard to enjoy that fact when youâre in mourning.
Purple Reign. Her time has come. She stands on her own, playing the game that men usually swims in. Because in this life, all that matters is money, her smile, her beauty and sex. Love has no place to be.
