THE VILLAINESS’S BEST FRIEND
Chapter 10-At The Ball
Diana with much pride and Esmeralda with much surprise walked gracefully into the large and beautifully lit castle of the royal family of Winchester after stepping out of the white carriage.
Diana’s eyes were solely fixed on her front while her evil mind calculated the many ways she could stop Esme from speaking to the love of her life,Sir Cyrius.
To her a dumb person like Esme wasn’t worthy of a dashing and passionate young man like Cyrius.
It was someone as fine,graceful and elegant as her that deserved him,he was hers and only hers.Anyone who stood in her way would perish mercilessly in her hands even her so called step sister.
Esmeralda’s attention on the other hand was solely fixed on the little fairies that flew around hanging decorations like flowers and their light on it while going around to make the place look like a star lit ball.
It was magnificent and she’d surely keep this forever in her memory.
They walked side by side until they reached a closed up large red curtain which sprayed open and to their sight was a crowd of nobles as they stood on the balcony.
Diana Dorothea D’Silvia
You seem excited my dearest sister.
Diana Dorothea D’Silvia
*Smirks*
Esmeralda Ciara D’Silvia
Of course I am,aren’t you?
Esmeralda Ciara D’Silvia
We finally get to properly chat with Sir Cyrius.
Diana Dorothea D’Silvia
*Thinks*Yes,If you last long.
Announcer
May I introduce the daughters of the great duke of Winchester,Sir Gregory.Lady Diana and Lady Esmeralda!
The announcer announced and all eyes were glued to the beauties that separated and came down the different sides of stairs.
They were both equal,equal beauty and grace yet people’s attention seemed to be fixed on the lovely Esmeralda as the violins gracefully played their tune with the magic of the fairies of course.
Esmeralda Blushes,she truly wasn’t used to this much attention and the whispers only grew louder when she got to the last step.
Voice
Isn’t that the marquis’s daughter?
Voice
I believe that is Lady Esmeralda.
Voice
She is by far the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
Voice
What a goddess in form of a human.
Voice
I have never seen her before.
Voice
She’s even more graceful than Lady Diana.
Voice
I simply love her dress and her bow.It’s unique.
Diana only boiled in rage when she heard the comments that were only meant for her.
How was it possible that on her first outing she managed to steal her spotlight.
Diana was equally beautiful dressed in a long sleeved free dress and her dark hair was naturally straight and long.
It wasn’t styled just brushed to perfection yet people still looked at her.
She glared murderously at the girl who men looked at with much interest and ladies with envy but some were kind to say hi.
Lady Jasmine
You brought her along?
Diana didn’t need to turn her head to know who were behind her.
Diana Dorothea D’Silvia
I didn’t want to but father insisted.
Diana told her two close friends Lady Jasmine and Lady Raquel who were the nasty twins of the countess of Winchester,Lady Vega.
Lady Jasmine
Why isn’t she dead yet?
Lady Raquel
Yes I thought you and Violet already had it planned.
Diana Dorothea D’Silvia
There’s been a change in plans girls.
Three three envious girls stared enviously as men tried their level best to talk to the shy Esme.
All heads snapped upwards to the balcony once again when they heard the announcer blow the loud trumpet.
Announcer
The arch duke of Winchester,Sir Cyrius of the D’Alessandro family is gracing us with his presence!
All eyes glued to the balcony mostly of that of the determined women who just wanted to see the legendary and handsome young duke,whose charms were known to make women beg for his love at first sight.
Others were with determination,seduction and excitement but Esme’s was with care and friendship she didn’t want to define as love.
She just wanted to see her Cyrius again.
It wasn’t long before a dashing and tall figure graced the balcony with his presence.
He was dressed in a white robe while his beautiful golden orbed eyes scanned the ballroom with uninterest and boredom.
His presence alone was enough to make women have dirty thoughts and even thoughts of marriage but that would forever remain dreams.
The ladies gathered eagerly watching him grace the steps with his feet,giggling and gasping at his every action.
He was really one to admire with his well refined stature and jet black hair styled till perfection.
Immediately he reached the last step all girls parted the way down the smiling lady that came through.
