Evening finally arrived, and guests had already begun to fill the palace. Fiona had offered to help Lilith get ready after she was done preparing herself. Eldric had left the room earlier to attend to something important, giving the girls the privacy they needed to get dressed.
Lilith watched as Fiona slipped into a gorgeous green dress with short sleeves, matching green gloves, and delicate hairpins. She looked stunning—elegant enough to pass for a noblewoman. Seeing how beautiful Fiona looked, Lilith could only imagine how extravagant the noblewomen would appear in their expensive gowns.
Once Fiona and her sister were ready, Fiona followed Lilith to her chamber. Lilith could barely contain her excitement at finally seeing the ball gown. She placed the basket on her bed, opened it, and carefully pulled out the dress.
