Chapter VIII
Once all of the carriages arrived at the final destination the chauffeurs helped down the ladies come out of the carriage and since Elizabeth Diana's carriage was the last one to arrive they made sure that their masks were tightly secured for the ball. They all stared at Darcy and were in awe with her strikingly perfect bone structure of her beautiful face and how her purple eyes can make any guest melt under her gaze with her mask on.
"I think you are going to be the girl who will steal the show and the talk of the town". said Celestina Marie.
"Let's go and have fun". said Giovanna Charlene cheerfully.
The girls all went inside, they saw that everyone was wearing a mask, Darcy's eyes locked with a lonely Namjoon who was talking to one of his brothers while teasing Jungkook about the woes in a marriage.
"Our boys are looking handsome as ever". Celestina Marie sighed while looking at the boys that were all hovering over Jungkook being chaotic.
"They always do whenever they're together". Maria Catarina replied while sweetly smiling ear to ear.
A lot of men started to surround Darcy, Maria, Celestina, Giovanna, and Bianca by a lot of men who were all captivated my their mysterious aura and many asked Darcy for a dance which caught Namjoon's full attention to the corner of the ballroom.
"Looks like there's something interesting going on over there". said Jimin as he pointed out the corner of the ballroom.
Namjoon sees a group of men surrounding Darcy and the girls and walks over to them.
"Hello gents, is there anything interesting happening over here?" Namjoon asked the men that were there in the circle.
"Oh we are trying to ask that princess over there for a dance". one of the men replied.
The men all moved out of the way to give way for Namjoon to walk over to Darcy, making Darcy nervous that her husband-to-be. Namjoon was mesmerised by Darcy's piercing purple eyes.
"May have this dance young maiden?" Namjoon asked in his seducing deep voice.
Darcy nodded her head and took his hand, all eyes were on them with beautiful music they danced across the hall that even Namjoon's family looked confused because the way Namjoon is looking at the mysterious girl lovingly. After the music was over the girls waved Darcy over in which she bowed Namjoon and went back to her friends. Namjoon was left
mesmerised by Darcy's sweet scent that feels so familiar which made him curious about her and was about to follow until his family called him over in which he sighed in disappointed after being interrupted his motives.
"Well that was a sight to see". Taehyung teased.
"Mum was about to give that girl a stern talk because you kept looking at her as if she was your woman". Jin explained.
"Something about her intrigues me which she is familiar, but I can't just pinpoint what it is". Namjoon replied as he took a sip of his drink.
"Either way you're already engaged to Darcy and this is the time for you to settle down". Jin scolded.
The girls danced and had a good time, Namjoon ignored his brothers and carefully watched the girls enjoying themselves. The ball went on until 5 am and the girls quietly all entered the carriage, and they were the first ones to leave, Namjoon noticed them leave and decided to follow them home without saying anything to his family who were busy with the guests. Namjoon gets on a horse and follows the carriage a few metres away so it doesn't draw any attention; after the carriage arrived at the destination Namjoon halted his horse where he parked it near a gate of a farm and hid himself behind a tree.
Darcy entered the bedroom sighing at the mirror that she was going to turn into a swan again at 6 am.
"Do we have to return as a swans again?" Darcy asked sadness in her tone.
"Well we are under the spell so we have no choice but to live with this curse for a bit until Namjoon realises that the imposter is not his true bride". said Giovanna Charlene.
As soon as the clock struck 6 am they all turned back into swans and the main large window was still opened and flew out, Namjoon saw the five swans and was intrigued with the black swan as it was the only one that was black while the rest of them were all white, he stood around for a few more minutes; he gave up on waiting for the girls to come out and rode on his horse back to his family.
The swans returned to the river they felt a loud thunder and started to rain hard. Lilith was sleeping peacefully until her father appeared waking her up.
"Father..." Lilith jumped up.
"Why are you here sleeping?" The evil warlock asked his daughter.
"Father I wasn't feeling well". Lilith lied.
"Oh right and why aren't there any mirrors in your bedroom?" he asked his daughter.
"Oh about that father there seem to be an inconvenience to the mirrors... it seems that mirrors shows my true form not this form of this Darcy that I have to pretend". Lilith explained.
"Right that would be a problem". he sighed.
"But don't worry about it father I have it all under control, I have demanded the staff to get rid of all of the mirrors in my area". Lilith replied.
"And what about the rest of the house?" he asked.
"Once I marry Namjoon I will order getting rid all of the mirrors so that I can continue my façade". Lilith grins evilly.
"Well my dear my take my leave and remember don't fail your mission to seduce the future king of England". said Blackwood.
Blackwood disappeared in a blink of an eye and Lilith hears the door knock.
"Who is it?" she asks.
"It is I the butler, may I come in?" the butler asked.
"Yes you may come in". Lilith replied.
The butler comes in with a elegant letter in his hand.
"Good morning Lady Darcy, I hope you had a good sleep?" the butler greeted at the same time he asks her.
"I slept very well thank you". she replied.
"A letter from Lady Daphne Harmonia Galatas Beaufort". said the butler as he handed her the letter.
"Ah right thank you, you may leave now". she replied while taking out a letter opener to open the letter.
The butler left the room leaving Lilith alone as she reads the letter where Lady Daphne Harmonia is inviting her for a tea party in her manor. She calls for staff and helped her bathe and dress her for the tea party.
This was the dress that I would imagine Darcy at the ball.
Hair in the front.
hair in the back.
I don't know why, but I also imagined her with black lips instead of the typical red or pink lips.
Her mask.
