[ Aluma ]
Making it to the dance floor the pair began to waltz through out the dance floor. The two have been practicing for months and the two performed flawlessly. The nobles who have never seen such an elegant dance were speechless.
“ But I can't wait I want my delicate flower now” [ Charlotte ]

“ Father, Mother how do you know how to dance” [ Aluma ]
“*giggle* oh darling did you two really think you could hide your little practice sessions?
The only place you can hide is in Charlotte's little lair, where only she can enter because of that nasty door , it kills anyone that isn't her.
We even tried going in with a bit of her hair the only thing left of that spy was the lock of hair the rest of him was ashes in the wind.” [ empress Tatiana]

“ I challenge her right!” [???]
