Alyssa's POV
The next few days were a complete blur.
We have been getting ready for the ball that was tonight. People scuttled across the castle day and night, transforming it into a beautiful sight. Fairy lights had been strung up across the ballroom, with a beautiful crystal chandelier hanging in the centre. The floors had been scrubbed clean and newly polished. Floral arrangements filled several corners of the room, and of course, on the tables that were placed around the room. The air was floral and smelt of vanilla.
A large portrait of Jayce and his family was above two thrones. No doubt where Jayce intended for us to sit for the night. I wondered if we were allowed to dance. Is that allowed? Or would it ruin our image?
