Chapter 68 - The Ball

While eating Lilith started to wonder why everyone was mistaking Cosmo for someone else but due to Cosmo's present state, he tried her best to ignore it and pass it off as a coincidence. 

Rex noticed that the princess was uneasy and he knew she was raising questions in her mind but he could not do anything to avoid her from asking herself them, he knew it was about time she was told the truth.     

"Lilith" Rex called out as she ate and he looked at her. 

"Mm.. what's wrong?" she asked and he smiled. 

'Are you okay?" he asked and she sighed then smiled. 

"I am fine, don't worry about me" she responded. 

"That's impossible for me to do," he said and she laughed. 

'Try because I am fine..." she replied and he held onto her hand as she looked at him. 

"What's the matter with you?" she asked. 

"What questions do you have?" he asked and she gasped. 

'They are better off if they are left alone" she responded. 

"Sure you don't want answers?" he asked just to see what she would actually say. 

"I do want answers but there is no way I would get them without having someone to force themselves to tell me" she responded. 

"Thinking about others before yourself is not always healthy," he said and she smiled. 

"Your hands are really cold" she replied then he moved his hand away from her. 

'Warm it up" he said. 

'It's fine" she replied then they continued eating. 

After everyone finished eating the woman brought the dresses to the castle but the girls didn't see it for they were all covered and were only to be opened when it was time for them to wear it. 

'Your highness I had the maids take the dresses to your respective rooms" the woman said as she walked into the dining hall. 

"Thank you for getting it done in such a short time" the queen replied. 

"You are welcome, besides I had help," she said. 

"Well do you want to join us?" the queen asked. 

"I would love to but I have to get back, I have more dresses to take care of" she responded. 

"Okay," the queen said then the woman left and Lilith sighed. 

"I will go get ready it's already night and the guests will be arriving soon," the king said as he got up. 

"We will do the same too," Lilith said as she got up with the others and the queen smiled. 

"Lilith a lot of people will be looking forward to meeting you tonight," the queen said as she got up and Lilith smiled. 

'And I them" she replied then walked away with the others. 

After they left the dining hall Lilith went to check up on Cosmo in the living room. 

"Cosmo" Lilith called out as she sat beside the girl with a frown. 

"You know Cosmo I am not going to hate you just because you are lying to me," she said as she held onto Cosmo's hand. 

"She will be fine, come on," Vivian said as he walked into the living room and grabbed onto Lilith. 

"Let's go," Vivian said as the girl moved Cosmo's hand away from Lilith. 

"You go get dressed Vivian, I will be fine" she replied and the girl sighed. 

"Are you sure?" Vivian asked and she smiled. 

"I will be fine, don't worry about me" she responded then walked away as Vivian looked at Cosmo the went to her room to get dressed. 

Upon entering her room Lilith saw the dress laying on her bed and beside it was little blue. 

"You are a really cute little guy," she said as she sat down and pet him and the dragon rubbed himself at her then she got up and went to take a bath. 

When the princess finished taking her bath she noticed the guests started arriving and she frowned. 

"Well let's see the dress now," Lilith said to herself as she got changed and as she put on the dress she noticed that it kept sparkling. 

'Woah" Lilith said as her body started glowing along with the dress and it changed color to Navy blue at the top and silver at the bottom that sparkled. 

The dress was long, the sleeve was short, and down by the side of her shoulder, it was a  Mermaid Evening Dress Reflective Fish Tail. 

"This is pretty," Lilith said as she put on her silver heels and fixed her hair into a simple french style twist. 

When Lilith finished the dragon roared and she smiled. 

'I am all done" she said as she walked out of the room and met the others in the hallway. 

'Woah you look pretty in that dress" Sunny said. 

"Thank you, you guys look well in your evening gowns too" she replied and they smiled. 

"You girls ready?" Ash said as he came along with Rex. 

"You girls look pretty," Rex said as he winked at Lilith and she laughed as Ash came to her and brought forth his hand then she smiled and grabbed onto him tightly. 

"You look pretty dashing tonight," she said as she looked at him in his blue tuxedo. 

"Vivian," Rex said as he went to her and she sighed. 

"Want to accompany me to this ball?" he asked. 

"Syre" Vivian replied as she held onto his hand and they all left to the ball. 

"Welcoming his royal highness Rex accompanied by princess Vviaian, princess Marlene, princess Sunny, and princess Jasmine" the guy at the door announced as they entered the ballroom and the queen smiled. 

'Thank you" Rex said as they went to the queen. 

"You guys look great," the queen said. 

'So do you mom" Sunny replied. 

'Announcing her royal highness princess Lilith and her fiancee prince Ash" the guy said as they walked in and everyone left staring at the girl. 

"Woah," the elven king said as he stared at Lilith as she walked down the stair.
