Ophelia and Dante soon arrived at the ball, which was held outside to accommodate all the guests in attendance. Areas of the castle were opened to the visitors, allowing them to get a glimpse of the inside of the castle.
Ophelia's eyes scanned her surroundings, ensuring that all was well before she could relax and enjoy herself.

Ophelia relaxed as the ball was off to a good start.
"Lady Hastings," a greeting came, followed by a crowd of women surrounding Ophelia.
"I, yes," Ophelia said, uncertain as to who she should look at first.
