Chapter IX
Lilith is finally ready for the tea party and gets on the carriage that was waiting for her patiently. The carriage arrived in front of the manor where the tea party held, the staff welcomed Lilith who was in the form of Darcy.
"Lady Darcy Pandora Blackthorn. 5th daughter of duke Joseph Elijah Arthur Davis-Williams and duchess Sophia Abigail Victoria Davis-Williams; fiancée of master Kim Namjoon". the butler announced.
A beautiful and radiant girl came in to hug Lilith, four beautiful women all greeted her, and they all look like Maria, Celestina, Giovanna, and Bianca's human forms.
"Nice to meet you I'm Maria Catarina these are my friends Celestina Marie, Giovanna Charlene, Elizabeth Diana and Bianca Swan". said the girl in front of Lilith.
"And I'm Darcy". Lilith nervously replied.
"Hey it's us". one of the girls whispered
"Oh... aish! you lot nearly gave me a heart attack". Lilith whispered in response.
The butler barges in startling the girls and was going to announce the hostess' entrance.
"Maladies' thank you for being patient, Lady Daphne Harmonia Galatas Beaufort". the butler proudly announced the main hostess' presence.
The main hostess entered with so much grace and elegance that the guests were all in awe with her radiant beauty. Daphne Harmonia sees Lilith in her Darcy's disguise and hugs her cheerfully.
"Oh Darcy dear! How are you!? you look beautiful as ever". said Daphne cheerfully.
"Yes... likewise". Lilith replies placing a fake smile on her face.
Daphne continues to greet the rest of the guest in a cheerful manner.
"Ladies the reason why invited you all for my tea party is because I am getting married tomorrow to master Jin one of the Duke and Duchess' son, and it would be nice if you all can come to my wedding ceremony". said Daphne.
All of the ladies congratulated Daphne making Lilith scoffed while rolling her eyes feeling jealous at Daphne's happiness, as soon as Daphne's head turns towards Lilith which made Lilith forced a sweet smile.
After the tea party was over and the carriage was waiting for Lilith in which she bid her farewell to the future wife of Jin the eldest brother of Namjoon because the next day it was their royal wedding ceremony that is the talk in the whole country; Lilith was angry that her father only had six daughters and her youngest sister Lamia Akuji didn't get the chance to take over Lorelei Callie's life due to becoming pregnant from Jungkook, and now they have to speed up the process of them getting married. Meanwhile, back in the enchanted forest the swans heavy heard footsteps walking across the forest making the swans to jump to the river, and it turned out to be a hunter hunting for foxes. The swans beauty made the man to retreat from his hunting sport.
"I don't think I can ever get to this lifestyle". said Darcy.
"Don't worry dear, the only way for the spell to be broken is for Namjoon to realise that Lilith isn't you and will look for you". said Celestina.
Another set of footsteps were heard, but these footsteps were a lot softer.
"She's here". said Elizabeth.
A beautiful woman appears in front of them and Darcy recognises her as Jungkook's fiancée who is expecting a child.
"Lorelei dear you came!" Bianca squealed happily as she waddled in her swan form.
"Hey girls". Lorelei Callie greeted.
"I am so happy to see you come and visit us".
"Wait how does she know that we can talk?" Darcy asked Giovanna.
"Well it's a long story" Elizabeth replied.
"Well... it all started when Elizabeth Diana was the first one who got turned into a swan and when she flew to my bedroom an hour before she turned back to her original human form". Lorelei explained.
"You see... Lorelei and I have been good friends since infancy and the only one who knows me better than anyone was Lorelei". Elizabeth explained further.
"There's another detail you need to know, you that manor where we arrived the night before?" Maria asked Darcy.
"Yes, what about it?" Darcy replied.
"Well... that manor actually belongs to Lorelei who lent it to use whenever we go over to her place". said Giovanna.
"So there is another reason why we were able to attend to the party without any issues is because Lorelei sent the invitation her manor where we normally stay at". Celestina continued.
"If Lorelei knows, how will we continue the secret of us turning swans at a certain time specially around Namjoon's younger brother?" Darcy asked all concerned.
"Well about that... he actually knows". Lorelei replied.
Darcy looks mortified that her future brother-in-law knows about them turning to swans.
"Oh I just realised that you are the latest edition of the warlock's curse spell, my name is Lorelei Callie Bogdan Morales future wife to be of Jungkook". Lorelei bowed as she introduces herself to Darcy.
"Oh yes, I'm Darcy Pandora Blackthorn betrothed to Namjoon future king of England". Darcy introduces back.
"Oh I know who you are... you are the cursed middle daughter of seven daughters of the Duke and Duchess Davies-Williams". Lorelei replied.
"Yes that's me unfortunately". Darcy nodded her swan's long neck.
"And I bet it was the warlock doings... he's a horrible man deceiving the people of England with his lies". Lorelei.
A while the swans and Lorelei were talking a new pair of footsteps were heard and stepped out another beautiful girl.
"Hi ladies". the soft voice was heard
"Daphne darling! How are you dear?" Lorelei greeted.
The two ladies hugged it out happily.
"It was a interesting tea party I'll you that much". Daphne replied.
"I apologise for not being able to be there I had the morning sickness that I simply couldn't attend". Lorelei apologises to Daphne.
"Oh that was the least of my worries, but I did had fascinating guests at my tea party this morning". said Daphne.
"Oh you mean the imposters pretending to be us?" Celestina asked.
"Those ones, their behaviour was so obvious because they were closer than glue... and there was one who gave me a dirty look and believe her name was Darcy". Daphne commented on Lilith's strange behaviour.
"Ah yes that would be me unfortunately... and the "Darcy" you met is the imposter one". Darcy replied as she waddled towards Daphne.
"Oh nice to meet you Darcy, I'm Daphne". Daphne introduced herself as she shook Darcy's black wings.
"So Daphne what brings you here at this time?" Maria asked Daphne.
"Oh yes I almost forgot... as you know that I am getting married tomorrow I want you guys to be there and the ceremony starts at 6 pm and the wedding invitation was left at the manor where we normally hang out". Daphne smiled.
"Even better the time when the imposters don't appear as they turn back to their original forms". Celestina cooed.
"But we have to be very careful that none of the enemy finds out about our secret". said Giovanna.
"Last time Namjoon couldn't stop staring at Darcy at the engagement party and I hope that this time we continue to be careful so that no one suspects anything strange". Bianca added.
"I have an idea since we are all bridesmaids I have a new piece of fashion that might work, let's go to our usual boutique find it together later?" Lorelei suggested.
They all agreed to Lorelei's brilliant idea, the two human ladies left the forest and the swans all flew towards Lorelei's parents home and flew into Lorelei's bedroom window and waited to turn human.
