Chapter 335: Emmah amazes again!

It was good day for a lot of nobles houses in Eldoria, for the long awaited debutante ball had come. All day long, mothers and daughters had conspired, servants had perspired and fathers had drunk their wines or enjoyed their smokes as they pondered on the fates of their daughters after tonight.

The debutante ball was a deciding ball for most. Who would be joining the list of the most beautiful women in Eldoria? Who would be declared the beauty of the season? Who would have the most suitors? Who would fetch the most envious match of the season? Who would be a wallflower and who would be the subject of scandal.

A more important question for those that loved to relish in gossip. Who would fall prey to the dangerous charms of an Ashford?

All those questions would be answered by the evening which arrived very early. When the sun was starting to set, carriages filled the grounds of the royal castle. This debutante ball was unlike any other for it was outdoors and not inside the typical ballroom.

Guests were flown to the hunting grounds on magic carpets and the coachmen, or rug men, serenaded them with the most beautiful ballads as they sailed through the skies.

When the carpets arrived at the hunting grounds, guests were transferred to jeweled caravans for a five minute ride to the real venue, a beautiful desert, with endless sand, held together by magic. Even if the wind blew, the sand would not move.

One half of the grounds had tables under canopies and on the ground around the tables were lanterns. On each table were beautiful red or white roses. And the same roses covered most of the grounds themselves. On that same side of the grounds, beach bed under canopies had also been lined up for those that wished to rest or view the ball without being forced to stand for many hours.

The venue was brightly lit, to avoid mischief, Sigrid had been sure to be generous with the lighting. Every corner of the place had lanterns, there would no cuddling, kissing or secret groping.
