          The following morning, was cold and rain had begun to fall. Lillian got dressed and headed down stairs for breakfast. Lord Ralf was already there, much to her dismay. 

          “Ah here is my bride to be now” he said, as he walks over to her. “I brought you a present” he motions for his servant to bring something over. “Here you are my love, a nice, warm fur coat”. She looks at it and gives Ralf a smile. 

           “Thank you my lord, I shall think of you when I wear it”. To this, Lord Ralf replied with a grin 

          “I think it would look marvelous on you if you would wear it to the Ball I’m having later this evening”. 

          “What ball my lord?” she asked, and quickly Ralf said, 

           “it was a bit last minute my dear. A colleague of mine convinced me to have one open to the public, anyone dressed for the occasion may enter as a way to get in touch with the… eh… lesser individuals”.

             Lillian felt enraged at this comment. It was not long ago when her family was associated with such a status, and still would make frequent visits to friends who were not so fortunate to move up in the world. Still, she sustained her composure. 

            “Yes my lord, I shall wear my finest dress to it”. With that said, Ralf moved in for a kiss, but Lillian pushed her check to his lips instead. Slightly disappointed, he bid his farewell and left. Lillian had started to walk away when her father called her over. 

             “Lillian, about last night, I’m sorry about yelling at you. It’s just that, Lord Ralf can offer you so much, I just want you to be happy. 

             ‘No father, he has much to offer YOU, and you want YOURSELF to be happy’, she thought, but replied, 

              “I know father, I know your heart is in the right place. Now if you will excuse me, I think I shall make my way into town to meet with Molly”. She did not wear the fur coat as she did not feel comfortable in such rich attire. She found Molly near the produce merchant. She just had to tell her about the man of whom she had met! 

              “Molly! Molly! I must…” she saw Molly had a concerned look and immediately Lillian asked what was wrong. 

                “You didn’t hear? Sir garret of krokos was assassinated last night! They found his body not too far from the cemetery! His body had 2 slashes in the chest, done by some wicked blade! It was horrible! I’m sorry to ramble on; I am just a bit hysterical. What were you saying?” Lillian has completely forgotten for a moment, all she could think about was that she was at the cemetery last night.  

                 “Lillian?” Molly asked, “Are you alright? You seemed to have drifted off for a moment”. Lillian shook her head a round as if to snap out of it. 

                 “Yes I’m fine. Are you going to lord Ralf’s ball this evening? I would hate to not have close friends to talk to”. 

                  “Yes I am” replied Molly who perked up, as if to completely forget that she just shared some horrific news. “How could I not? I actually just bought a dress for the occasion. Well it was great talking but I must head home and start getting ready. Farewell my dear.” And with that, she hugged Lillian and went on her way. Lillian went home to get ready for the ball as well. She got dressed, grabbed her coat, and went on her way.
