As days went by, everyone became more and more busy with preparations, safia still meets up with hunter, but not at their special place because since Anthony found the place, it has become risky for them to meet there for the soldiers can come back anytime.
         
    So instead hunter found them another special spot in the forest, a little bit away from the lake, a unique tree hidden among long grass and fat trees. The beautiful tree has white,pink,and purple flowers, it has long branches that swept on the floor around the small tree, circling it and making a roof that covered the entire tree, looking like a little home and for anyone to enter they'd have to crunch down low, as small and fat as it looks on the outside, its very wide on the inside and can house a reasonable amount of people.
 Hunter explained to safia that the tree is called pixie home, upon hearing that safia jump with excitement but it all died down and vanished when hunter said pixies are not real, the tree is just called that because of its size and the ability to hold a lot on the inside.
There used to be many pixie homes in the forest but they were destroyed during the war, so now to come across a single pixie home one has to venture very deep into the forest, and the one they found now was only due to luck and how hidden it is.
    and of course again, saifia asked hunter how he knows so much about all this missing history, and his answer was the same as always, that its an old story the king doesn't like to tell, but when she press further he told her that his uncle is the one that tells him too, (it is partially true,). 
     while safia meets hunter at night, she endures the pain and annoyance of trying on a dozen dresses during the day, and many people she doesn't even know nor do they care about her are always touching her hair and face, telling her to smile like this, laugh like this, walk like this and that, its frustrating.
     She understands they are just doing what the king ordered them to do, but she still doesn't like it, so one day when her father came to bid goodnight like usual to her she asked him.
     * father, why am I trying on a dozen things when the ball is only for one day anyway* her father chuckled and replied * one day, how can you choose the right prince in one day*
    and safia thought "oh yeah, that's sadly true" but its not like she really cares, she's just  waiting for the ball to come so she can execute her plan, which is apparently  to look for an easy target, choose him then trick him to dump her, and then she'll hide behind a fake heartbreak so her father doesn't organize for another ball immediately.
  she replied *of course I can, its a whole day after all* her father just smile and replied * maybe you can, but if we do that, what kind of hospitality that would be, inviting important royals and lords, to make them come all the way from their respective kingdoms just to attend a one day ball, that would just be ruining our reputation, the ball will last for a week*
    
    safia shrieked *a week!!!* her father nods and explained * yes a week, the first day would be for their arrival, while the other days you will show them around the kingdom, and every night they'll be a formal ball so you can get to know them better and understand which one is right for our kingdom
    all that will be for 4 days, while in the fifth day you will choose a prince and get engaged, finally on the last day they will leave for their kingdoms after we shower them with gifts and gratitude, during those 7 days you will not only chose a suitor but also form alliance with the others, hope it is clear now*
 Hearing all that detail safia felt tired already,but still she manage to answer * yes father...unfortunately I understand* shaking his head at his daughter's confusing behavior, king Travis head out closing the door behind him and leaving safia with her thoughts which she wonder out loud * okay then...since I want to take charge of my kingdom I might as well just get to know the other kingdoms, figure who's my future friend or fue, and to get that done I just need to be my formal self, easy peasy*
  
 So she informs Hunter that when the ball starts she can't come to the forest to meet him again, because guards will be doubled and people will be everywhere, that she'll also be very busy since after all she is one of the princess " maid" hunter assured her its okay and he will wait for her.
 Through safia's reason for not meeting hunter receive new information about the ball, it will last a whole week and everything will be under great inspection, which will make it dangerous for any werewolf to wonder outside, they do not wish to ruin the ball or interfere with it, they decided to patiently wait till its over and all the innocent guest are gone then they'll proceed with their little plan.
             
     __king Travis 
 The king himself was busier than ever, he had to make sure everything is planned and is ready for the ball to go smoothly, assigning all the officials he trust with important task while he was dealing with more important stuff, like making sure his "weapons" are under perfect control and well fed, with the palace about to be filled up with humans he made sure they won't lose control and burst up from that underground to ruin the ball.
 He found another source of food for them, which are literally his own palace garden animals, but instead of taking from one he would take a small unit from all so as not to get his daughter suspicious again. 
     
  __Anthony
Anthony, as the general he's the one with the responsibility of arranging the best security that will ensure the safety of everyone during the ball, and of course he's using that power to his advantage
 Since he needs to slip in a werewolf into the kingdom for his plan to start, he made sure to assign all of his most trusted men with more authority than the rest to make sure no one gets suspicious of him.
And not just with security he also made sure he influenced the arrangement of the guest chambers by placing prince Liam's chambers close to his to avoid any obstacles when meeting with the prince.
His only problem is that he has not found a werewolf yet.
  
The days pass by quickly with not only the royals preparing for the ball but also the masses who are very excited to receive royal guest, and knowing the princess will personally give them a tour, they plan to help their princess In every way possible and to show their gratitude to her for opening the palace market for them all free of charge.
She gave them a chance at stepping foot into the world of quality products like they've never seen before, priceless items given to them for free, so they made sure to decorate the kingdom and their homes to their very best, and aim to give the guest the best of all they had to offer, for their princess and kingdom sake.
And finally the awaited day is here, the ball starts tomorrow.
