Taegan dedicated considerable effort to prepare for the ball, an annual event they eagerly anticipated. With an undeniable fondness for such occasions, they relished the chance to showcase their opulence and noble stature.

Taegan made their entrance adorned in an exquisite [url=https://www.pinterest.com/pin/844565736372570939/]gold gown[/url], which they would promptly correct you not to mistake for yellow. Enhancing their attire were intricately crafted gold jewelry pieces, harmoniously complementing the regal aura they exuded. Adorning their head was a resplendent gold tiara, an unmistakable symbol of their esteemed status. While they had lost the Illuminaire title this year, Taegan’s genuine nobility resonated throughout the school, and they ensured that no one would dare overlook it. Since this was a masquerade, they also wore a golden mask. Even though they preferred not to conceal their features.

Taegan arrived to find a queue of students waiting outside the ballroom. Good, they would have time to make a showstopping entrance along with his date. They had asked Fasha to accompany them to this ball. It was clear to them that she was using them for their wealth. So Taegan figured it must have been ok to use her for Illuminaire status, if they couldn’t be Illuminaire themselves. It was a mutually beneficial relationship, no?

While he waited for his date to arrive, Taegan decided to have a chat with another familiar face who had made it their. [color=gold]“Kaspaan, wonderful to see you here.”[/color] They patted the younger student on the head. [color=gold]“I adore your ensemble!”[/color]

It was then that he noticed that Kaspaan had someone with him. A girl who appeared close to him in age, and had a black and gold Cait mask on. [color=gold]“Ah, I see you bought a date as well.”[/color] Taegan noted, looking at her up and down, not sure what to make of her. [color=gold]“My date is on her way, I’m sure.”[/color]
