Chapter 140 - The Party (1)

I pushed the grand doors to find myself in a ballroom full of glittering lights and chatter of people in suits and gowns. I, myself was dressed for the occasion in the design of the starry sky that dripped down to my thighs. The theme of the party was stargazing inside a field of flowers.

Baskets of flowers hung down from the roof as its petals filled the air. Its wreaths were placed on each member in the neutral fraction to display the hosts for the evening. Beside me was Luke who escorted me towards the center of the room.

"You're finally here," Sienna reached out to me.

Sienna and Cillian greeted the guests as the main hosts since we were inside one of Cillian's family mansions. She held both of my hands with hints of tears welled up from her eyes from the misery of having to continuously greet everyone. During the meeting, Sienna accidently stretched her arms into the air when Alice had asked who was willing to volunteer to host the party in their mansion.

"No, it was a mistake," Sienna frantically waved in denial.

"Let's go onto the next item in the agenda," Alice wrote Sienna down in her notes.

Sienna sunk back into her chair as she glanced at the others for help. I shook my head since I had no property in the first district while Delia had her family mansions being cleaned that day. With no other choice, Sienna accepted the results as she pouted in her chair while staying alert of what was going on this time.

It did seem tiring to greet every guest. Fortunately, around fifty people from our school were able to come. The invitation was given out to the few representatives of every major fraction in school. Charles came to the event with Miliana as one of the representatives to his fraction while Jules and Yulee came to represent Luke's fraction.

"You're the last one to come," Sienna swung my arms with her.

"Yeah, things happened," I winced from what happened a few hours ago.

I looked through the many dresses in my closet abundant with party dresses with all the luxurious precious metals, ribbons, and fluttering laces carefully sewn onto each craft. In my eyes, every one of them appeared to be the same. I grabbed a random dress from one of the hangers to prepare myself for the party.

I opened my drawer full of gloves, hair accessories, belts, necklaces, and bracelets. I pulled out the ones that caught my eye first and placed them on top of the table. For my shoes, I chose the ones with flats so I didn't have to suffer from heels.

When everything was laid out on my bed, it didn't look too bad. Some didn't exactly match each other, but I doubted anyone would notice from all the dazzling jewels. I was too lazy to pick out some other articles of clothing anyways.

"You're attending in this outfit?" Luke came into the room after changing into his suit.

I nodded my head as Luke frowned and shook his head. He quickly went to my closet and pulled a dress that had the night sky draping down. He walked to my drawer and pulled out black lace gloves and a hairband with a big layered bows dunk in diamonds. For my shoes, he picked out medium-sized heels with a ribbon around the ankles.

It was almost magical how he came up with the perfect outfit that matched the theme within a few minutes. But, the outfit appeared terribly painful with the tight waist and heels.

"There's no way I'll fit in that dress," I argued at the corseted ribbons on the back.

"It's the best option for now, as one the party's hosts, you have to match the theme," Luke countered.

"But there's no way I can wear the dress alone," I cringed from imagining tying all the ribbons on the back.

"I'll tie the ribbons for you," Luke urged me to change.

I panted from slipping my body into the dress. It was tough pulling the dress up to my shoulders since you had to be almost malnourished for the dress to go up easily. When I barely managed to breathe from the tight dress, Luke pulled on the ribbons to make it even tighter.

I almost screamed when a mass wave of dizziness hit my head when he finished tying all the ribbons together. While I was barely conscious, Luke worked on my hair and put it into one big braid. I wobbled as I tried on the stiff heels that fit my feet perfectly.

In the mirror, I didn't appear human from my sacrifice. My reflection was a celestial being who came from the moon with the light makeup done. When I checked the time, the party had already begun as both Luke and I were already exhausted.

I really needed to get rid of some dresses in my closet no matter how pretty I looked. I grabbed onto Luke's arm and didn't let go for my dear life. Without his support, I knew I was going to fall down. I was almost tempted to put off my heels if I wasn't one of its hosts.

After Sienna let me go, I stumbled onto Luke's chest. I immediately took one of his arms to stand up properly again as I pretended to be fine.
