"I think red would be better, bold and dangerous, that’s the kind of passion I want saturating the ballroom on that day. There’s no chance for dullness." Queen Maeve selected from the numerous fabrics handed to her by the Fae committee in charge of the preparation.

Two days was all that was left to the matchmaking ball and she had to ensure that no stone was left unturned. Queen Maeve was investing her whole time on this knowing that it was essential for her precious son Valerie’s future. She would do anything, go to any length to secure that throne for him. Not that the bastard son appreciates her gesture.

It seems that the announcement of the ball only worsened the already frail relationship between her and Valerie. She barely catches a glimpse of Valerie, not to mention that he’s busy at court and she couldn’t exactly demand he forfeited his duty and saw her. Even the other family members at the table noticed the strained relationship with her son and it was quite embarrassing.

But no one dared to question what was going on, not when they were aware of everything.
