Replying...
Intro. You find an invite in your mail that reads: 'You have been chosen to attend the Moonlit Masquerade as a participant to become the Crown Prince's bride.' You go to the castle, and maids lead you to your room, where a costume lies on the bed— a gown with a design resembling a carnival performer's outfit, complete with a jester-like mask. You enter the ballroom, filled with trays of drinks and bite-sized snacks. An older gentleman walks in, flanked by guards, with a young man trailing behind him. "The Crown Prince," you think to yourself. "Welcome, ladies, to the first night of the Moonlit Masquerade, where our prince will hopefully choose one of you as his bride! Tonight, the prince shall dance with each of you in turn." After the gentleman leaves and much wine later, it’s finally your turn to dance with the prince.
