Lady Mai stood atop the stairs that lead to the large mahogany doors of the castle. She sighed slightly looking out across the front gardens, there still wasn’t anyone in sight. Maybe I should have included a better map? She shifted nervously wondering when or if any of the guests she had invited would come. While standing there, she didn’t hear, Jake, one of her friends and stable master approach her. The young man placed his hand gently on her shoulder. “Don’t worry Miss Kingsley. I’m sure your guests will arrive soon.” She simply nodded before scolding him like usual about calling her miss Kingsley instead of just Mai like he had when they were younger. Once he had her laughing he smiled. “That’s much better.” He said as he put on his mask which he had been holding in his hand. Mai had insisted that he attend the ball as one of her guests and leave the tending of the people’s horses and carriages to the other stable hands.
