Chapter 326: Winter Solstice Festival (Part Three)
The second and third days of the Winter Solstice Festival were just as fun and energetic as the first one. Just like it was predicted, the festival did bring happiness and positivity in the world and in the hearts of people who had been suffering under the fear of dark energy.
And after three long days of beautiful and successful celebration of the festival, it was finally the night of the great Winter Midnight Ball.
Annalise stood in front of the full-length mirror as she stared at her reflection, making sure that she was properly dressed for the night.
She was adorned in a sumptuous ball gown, crafted from rich, royal blue velvet. The gown’s bodice was exquisitely fitted, accentuating her hourglass figure, while the neckline was modestly square, framed with delicate gold embroidery and intricate beadwork. The sleeves were long and flowing, tapering at the wrists, with cascading layers of sheer, shimmering silk that billow with her every movement.
The voluminous skirt of the gown draped gracefully from her cinched waist, pooling around her feet in a sea of opulent fabric. The skirt was adorned with ornate patterns of gold and silver thread, depicting intricate floral motifs and medieval heraldry. Each step she took created a mesmerizing dance of fabric and color.
Completing her ensemble, she wore a regal, golden headband adorned with gemstones, and her hair, a cascade of platinum-blue curls, spilled elegantly over her shoulders. Her look was a breathtaking blend of timeless elegance and power, a vision of beauty fit for a grand midnight ball.
She heard a knock on the door of her room and then her husbands stepped in one after the other.
The first Prince who caught her eye was the Autumn Prince who was clad in a regal doublet and hose, both made of rich, deep crimson adorned with intricate gold embroidery. His outfit featured puffed sleeves and a high collar, indicative of the fashion of the nobility. A golden chain draped across his chest, giving his attire a boost. His short dark brown hair was pushed back to show his entire forehead and was styled simply.
Kenric carried himself with an air of authority and grace, just like the Prince he was.
