The Married To Prince

Chapter 4

Ellise walked along the road, her left hand holding the horse rope, leading the horse to follow her. His right hand was used to hold a robe that helped him ward off the cold weather.

Feelings of despair whack as the streets are getting quieter. He did not come home, did not want to go home, after 8 years more, finally this was the first time he could set his foot out of his residence. Although he did not succeed with his plan, at least he did not want to go home with a perfect failure. Ellise wants at least she can enjoy tonight, a night that will not necessarily come to her again.

Ellise looked at the shops, restaurants, and others, all closed without any activity, if it was still daytime, maybe she would enter every building.

Ellise continued to walk, enjoying the bright moonlight, until she passed by a dark building, but it seemed that the building still had activity at night. Ellise read the plank in the building, SECRET PARTY.

A party? Isn't it just a noble who can make a party? Curiosity knocks Ellise's heart out. Ellise went to two guards who seemed to be guarding the entrance. The two guards saluted when they saw Ellise coming.

"Miss, how can I help you?" ask a friendly guard.

"Which noble is throwing a party?" ask Ellise politely.

The two guards looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

"Miss, this feast is not held by the nobility, you do not need an invitation or status to enter. Anyone can enter. "

" If so, I will respect if I can enter this place. "

" Miss, but there are conditions that you must know and obey. "

Ellise scrunched her forehead," What conditions? "

A guard called for a masked man, the masked man sent Ellise through another door of the building, while the other guard helped Ellise keep her horse.

Ellise entered the room of medium size, the masked man she was following turned around slowly. Ellise sat down after being invited.

" First, you have to wear a mask that has been provided, of course you can choose it according to your taste, we have a lot of collections.

Secondly, all your identity or anyone else at this party is confidential, if you divulge who you are especially you divulge information about the identity of other people, he said, then we will pursue you wherever to account for your actions.

Third, remember one thing, the key to the first and second terms is the secret, everything that is here is a secret except the freedom to ask questions between each other. "

Ellise gulped down her saliva, it was like a tantalizing game, Ellise was very challenged.

" Miss, are you able to accept all these requirements? "

Ellise nodded quickly.

"Well, just call me Zen, of course that's not the real name." Zen said, giving pen and paper.

"What'sthis? " ask Ellise in wonder.

" aa.. How do you know if I can read and write? " ask Ellise stammered.

Zen's smile deepened at Ellise's question, "Miss, from your dress, your behavior, the way you look at and respond to this, I believe you are a noble of high standing. Even a lowly nobleman can learn basic ethics, let alone just reading and writing. I think you have the ability. "

Ellise chuckled, "Your instincts are amazing Sir Zen! "

" I take it as a form of your compliment miss. "

"And I assume also you are not just any class considering your basic ethics are very perfect! ." replied Ellise did not care, she was busy filling in the paper given Zen.

***

From the room, Ellise followed Zen into one room of the other room. I don't know how many doors and hallways he went through. Ellise was happy, she walked as if in a mysterious labyrinth. This building looks simple, but has many secret doors.

"So, have you determined your pseudonym miss? " ask Zen who keeps walking on foot.

" Sadia"

"A unique pseudonym. "

" If you've read about my identity, you know, it's just an abbreviation of my name and my noble name. "

"Even if it's unique, you're the missing lady, everything about you is very interesting."

"I take it as a compliment, sir! "

Zen chuckled softly, "And the mask you choose perfectly matches your charm miss." praise Zen sincerely.

Ellise smiled faintly, ever since she entered the room filled with the collection of masks, she was instantly attracted to a mask that was on the very end of the shelf. A beautiful shelf for a very beautiful mask, it's just that Ellise realized it looks like the mask is a pair, and the other one is invisible. Ellise wondered who was wearing the pair of masks she was wearing.

"Sir, it looks like I saw the mask I was wearing had a partner" Ellise said, unable to hide her curiosity.

" Yes... Of the thousands of masks we have, only those masks have a partner. The mask is the most special and valuable compared to any mask. "

Actually Ellis wanted to ask, about who chose the other one, but Ellise preferred to undo her intention to ask further, because she remembered everything that was here was a secret.

Zen opened a last door, a bright ray signifying the luxury of the party in sight. Ellise glared at what lay ahead, This feast is really a party of the bourgeoisie...

"Welcome to the Secret Party, Miss Lisela, a party where freedom is in your hands regardless of who you are and what you do, please enjoy it. Tonight is your night" said Zen.

Ellise entered the floor, admiring everything. Freedom, let tonight be his.
