I took a deep breath and took a step through the painting. I was new to a inter-universal spying job. So as I stepped through into the ballroom I calmed the nerves threatening to blow through my chest. So I straightened my light blue ball gown and dark blue masquerade mask. I looked through as the announcer asked what to announce me as. I said,” A royal dignitary from partiana. He immediately announced me as I stepped through. I was a spy for a different kingdom but my alias is a dignitary for an allied country with us. I puffed up my dress as I saw an enemy of my real kingdom approach and ask me to dance. A waltz can sometimes seem gentle and kind, but with some people it is close contact war.
