So, the suitors have to be prepared to face the shocks.

"Yes, Your Highness." Katherine answered and bowed before Elora left the room.

Later she looked at the Cultural Minister, Sir Martin and asked, "What's the theme? Normal one?"

"No, Lady Katherine, this time Prince Edward selected the 'Masquerade Theme'. His Highness wants to protect the identities of the contestant from the rebellions. In order to do that, His Highness came up with this theme. This way, even at the time of competitions, your identities will be unknown." Sir Martin explained and after wishing her good luck, he left the quarters.

Meanwhile, Katherine is shocked.

Masquerade theme?? Seriously??

Well, Prince Edward is worthy of that struggle.

Katherine shifted her attention to her assistant and ordered "Inform the House of Lykaios to prepare everything that I need and ask them to send the mentors depending upon the schedule. I want to be prepared for everything." she ordered.

She knows she's gonna have a tough time ahead.

…..

A day passed by..

"Harry, please think where Brina might go when she is upset." Charlotte urged him.

They are now in Louis's penthouse, working their ass off to find Brina.

From three days, Harry, Charlotte, Rhianna, Luke, Daniel and Hailey are searching for her.. but all in vain.

Even Layla is helping them but even she couldn't find any clue of where Brina might be.

She is that expert in hiding her trails and staying invisible.

"We need to hurry up, guys! Just in three days are left for the masquerade ball to start and if Brina couldn't make it by then. She will lose Louis forever." Daniel said.

"And, we must help her to get prepared for it. First impression is always a good impression." Charlotte agreed with him.

"More than your ball, I am worried about my sister! All you can think about is taking Brina to your Kingdom and make her participate. Can't you guys be any less selfish than this?!" Harry scoffed.

Only if he would have known that Louis is from the Royal family, he would have surely made his sister breakup with him the very next second he found out about it.

He would have taken her back with him and made sure that they won't meet each other again. Like this, her heartbreak wouldn't have been this intense.

He is worried how she is now. He already saw her when she lost her parents and now, she is losing another person though he is alive. It is more torturous for her!

His poor sister would have not suffered this much if he would have enquired about Louis more deeply.

"I am sure Brina wouldn't have eaten anything these days. If she is alone.." Rhianna gulped, her eyes filled with worry. She hugged Harry tight, her heart aching for her friend.

Why should this happen only for her!! All she wishes is Brina didn't faint!

"I am warning you now itself, Charlotte. We can't assure you that Brina would follow you people to your Kingdom and become your mere suitor to compete for that man." Harry said.

"And, if she is not willing to come with you people, you better not force her." he warned.

Meanwhile, Charlotte scrunched her eyebrows.

"What do you mean.. huh? Are you asking Louis to let go of his love just like that?" she asked, angrily.

It is not only Brina who is suffering. Louis is suffering as well. He literally went against most of the court members to accept the Masquerade theme.

From the day he went back to the palace, he has been making preparations to ensure Brina's security and hide her identity.

He even gave a strict warning to paparazzi and news channels not to dig information about the contestants or try to find their identities.

They can write about the competitions but they should not try to disclose their faces. No reporters or paparazzi from other countries are allowed to attend these events.

He has gone through a lot to make this happen despite how low and unstable he is. Keeping his heartache and sorrow aside, he did all these just for Brina.

And now, Harry is asking Louis to let go of Brina if she isn't interested to come?! Not in hell!!

Is loving a person and leaving him is that easy for these people??

"Yes, I'm exactly asking you the same. Don't you dare to blame Brina for that, Charlotte! It's Louis's mistake that he didn't come clean with his extraordinary identity. Even after knowing how my sister is. She gave Louis a second chance.. yet?!" Harry snapped back.

Charlotte gritted her teeth. "It is a rule not to disclose the real identities of Royal Families and Noble Families outside of the Kingdom. You can't blame him either." She retaliated.

"Yeah! One of the exaggerating rules of the Royal Families." Harry muttered.

"Just like how you guys have your own problem, she has her own too. Didn't she make clear to all of you that she can't afford to make public appearances? She has accepted Louis even after knowing that Louis is a CEO. That was a huge step for someone who has given away her CEO position just to stay low key."

"And, now you are asking her to become the centre of attention of the whole Kingdom?!"

"This is one of the luxuries my sister can't afford. Yes, we agree that Louis is suffering as well. I do know how much he loves her and how much he is going through a lot right now."

"But, you are asking for something out of her control, Charlotte. Brina might not agree to it." Harry retaliated.

Being a CEO is different from becoming a King. For Brina it is like going into a lion's den if she agrees to go.

"Brina is fragile by her heart. She would be suffering more than Louis right now. And, if she doesn't agree to go with you, it doesn't mean she is letting go of her love just like that. She has her reasons and we aren't even sure if she will be back to normal anytime soon, after this." Rhianna said.

Meanwhile, Layla, who was standing quietly, sighed.

She has already made a voice call to Louis so he could hear everything.
