Carriages pulled quietly to the maze, people stepping out and going in. Women, men, all together were going. Some looked to be nobles, some of rich families.
They walked around the twisted maze until they got to the center where a medium sized box-shaped covered by large cloth. Next to that was a broken down, stone gazebo.
They gathered, sitting on the chairs that were set out for their arrival.

"Mini!"a teenaged looking boy with blue hair and matching blue eyes where a white suit whispered loudly.
"Gemi, quiet,"a blonde girl hushed, putting her finger to her lips.
"I'm sorry," he sighed,"Did Princess get away?"
"Yes, she's on her way to Hargeon,"Virgo stepped in,"For now, Lord Everlue will be expecting Miss Mini to be waiting for him. She is to escorts him to put him up with high class."
"Lord Everlue has no class, nor will he ever,"Gemicrossed his arms,"But as long as the Princess got away."
"Stop throwing out that title without thought,"Mini hushed him again.
"Sorry, sorry!"he put his hand over his mouth,"By the way, I got something to cover you face a bit more so no one notices those fake eyes you're using."
"Contacts,"Virgo corrected.
"Whatever,"Gemini handed Mini a fancy black lace hat and a black lace fan,"They should do."
"You're being quite helpful for once,"Mini teased, putting on the hat, casting dark shadows upon her pale features. She too the fan to open it, beginning to move it lightly creating a small wind of elegance.
"Never knew you could look so high class,"Gemi admitted.
"Of course,"Mini grinned but then frown, hearing a carriage arrive,"Gemi, it's time to hide yourself now, Lord Everlue has arrived."
"If anything happens, I will be there,"he assured and casually walked away.
Virgo and Mini watched as the pint-sized man got out of the carriage. His shirt, stubby legs just barely touching each step as he went down to the next one.
"My Lord,"Virgo bowed as Mini bowed her head down to his presence.
"Let us go, they will not be waiting for us to begin,"he spoke rudely, walking past them. Virgo staid put as Mini walked just behind him.
"You are lucky, peasant girl. You are the most ugliest girl I've ever seen, but you are of 'good' blood and many here wish to meet you,"Lord Everlue grumbled, wobbling on his small legs attached to his rolly-polly body,"Don't try to run off, I will punish you severely if you do."
Mini nodded, glancing around under her hat. Her eyes gazed over to an unfamiliar woman, her face covered by a purple, plum fan. Her skin pale, and she looked fair and beautiful, almost innocent except her brown eyes that gazed with a fearful stare. It was intimidating to look at them for more than a second.
Mini looked away when the woman turned her head towards her. She remembered how she looked and the boy she talked to. She had Scarlet hair that was loose upon her shoulders that were adorned with purple fabric of a long Victorian dress. The man she was talking to was a pale male with Raven hair and dark blue eyes, almost of black coal, he wore a black suit, most of the men did with a ruffled tie that he did not seem to fancy.
They both gazed around, as if scanning the area. Mini immediately became curious, but to shy to approach. She let out a soft sigh, moving her fan a bit faster to create a stronger breeze to blow on her face.
The two didn't seem to fit with the rest of the men and women there, they did not suit their clothing at all. It was as if it was only costume. They only stood around awkwardly looking around as if analyzing the ones around with a harsh glare.
Mini looked down to not see Lord Everlue near her, making her sigh again, but in relief.
She tilted her head down to cover her eyes by the hat as she turned and walked to the awkward couple. As she did, they didn't notice her as she was stopped by another couple walking in front of her, but it was accepted.
She felt if she did walk straight to them without stop, they'd take it as an attack. She began walking again, her heels crashing the dirt and grass below her feet.
"Fine evening it is for such a gathering, is it not?"she spoke elegantly, hiding her eyes with the hat and the rest of her face with her fan. They jumped once they looked at her, not expecting to be spoken to.
"Y-Yes, very,"the Scarlet lady spoke first, fanning herself in a weird fashion.
"I believe I have not seen you before, may I ask your names?"Mini asked.
"I am Gra-"
"My name is Titania and he is named Prince. We do not live in towns near the area,"the woman interrupted, stepping in front of him.
"I see,"Mini nodded.
"Now that we have shard our names, it is polite to give your own in return."the man, Prince stated a bit rudely. The woman, Titania glared at him.
"Of course, my name is Lucille,"Mini stated, giving a small courtesy,"I must leave and return to the man who I am to accompany. I will see you then, good day."
