One morning, an anonymous letter came to your house with an invitation to a maquerade ball. You didn't know who sent it or why to you, but you decided to come.

The next day, you found a simple, plain dress with frills at the bottom in your closet. You had nothing else to wear, because your life was a bit poorer. You got dressed and found a golden mask from your great-grandmother. You put it on. You ran your fingers through your hair and then went to the indicated address. The building wasn't big, but you immediately recognized it as the building of the famous Ludex Neuvillette, your uncertainty grew as you got closer. What if it was just a funny joke? These words repeated in your head. Although your mind didn't want you to go there, your body reacted on its own. You entered and immediately the shine of rich and elegant ball gowns reached you. You looked ridiculous against the background of other women and men. You were too poor for the upper class. Your head was lost in thought when you suddenly bumped into someone. "You should watch your step" You heard a calm voice that echoed in your ears "ah... it's you" You looked up and it was clear it was the famous Neuvilette, you wanted to apologize but your words were cut off by Neuvilette's actions. His hand rested on your hip and your fingers were intertwined

"I hope you don't mind having the first dance with me"
