"Why though?

" Kizy asked, not understanding why he would not recognize her after dancing with her for this long.

n

"You don't know?

" The man asked.

n

"What?

" Kizy asked, still confused.

n

"This is the first time that a masquerade ball is being organised in all these years. But the main reason is to let people reveal their true faces beneath the masks.

" The man said.

n

"What!!

" Kizy asked, finally letting him see some different emotion other than the polite smile.

n

"Yes.

" He replied calmly.

n

"But aren't we not allowed to reveal our identities? I mean wasn't this a rule?

" Kizy asked, talking two complete sentences for the first time.

n

"Yes. Definitely that's a rule. That is why we are wearing masquerade masks. To not let others see our true faces.

" The man replied.

n

"But we will be wearing those on bare faces?

" Kizy asked, confirming her doubts.

n

"Yes.

" The man replied patiently.

n

"But won't that-

" Kizy was asking when she saw Jason shaking her head, while dancing with Rose behind this man.

nThat's when she realised that she had talked too much unnecessarily and immediately shut her mouth.

n

"Won't what?

" The man asked.

n

"Nothing.

" Kizy said, and went back to her original silent mode.

nThis whole time, Jason was busy looking at Kizy while Rose only had eyes for him.

nShe was content dancing with him, alone in this romantic setup, even when he wasn't paying any attention to her.

nJason saw that the man was still trying to speak with Kizy, thus he signalled Victor.

nVictor immediately understood his gaze and went walking towards Kizy and that man.

n

"Can I have her for sometime?

" He asked the man.

n

"Though I don't want to leave you, but fine. You can dance with her.

" The man said, removing his hand from her waist.

n

"Hope we will meet tomorrow, beautiful!

" The man said and was about to go but he turned back once again.

n

"Can I call you Hazel?

" He asked Kizy.

nKizy paused for a moment, not understanding what was wrong with that man.

n

"Don't take me wrong but your Hazel colored eyes are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Can I call you Hazel?

" The man asked again.

nKizy now understood why the man was calling her Hazel. She was wearing Hazel colored lenses so that she won't give out her identity based on her eyes.

nShe just nodded her head, not caring what the man said.

n

"Meet you tomorrow Hazel.

" He said and finally left the dance floor.

n

"Was he troubling you?

" Victor asked as soon as the man was going, his voice protective.

n

"No.

" Kizy replied.

n

"First brother, since you are already here, why not dance with me?

" Kizy asked with a grin.

nAnd anyone from Black command knew that Victor had a soft spot for this little sister of his.

nThough Victor appeared to be the calmest member, who had a nonchalant attitude and nothing could spark his interest, in reality he cared for his team a lot.

nIt was just that he had matured earlier than the people his age, making him more calm and silent than the rest of his group.

nThough all the members were loyal to the group, Victor was a step ahead, ready to kill or even put his life at risk for the teammates, especially Jason, who was his idol, his saviour.

nThe only word which could describe him was - Tsundere.

nHe would appear to be cold and dominant, being strict with the members but he would never deny any wishes made by the members.

nThus Victor ended up dancing with Kizy, and Victor was no commoner. He swirled Kizy on the dance floor, turning and twisting, as if dancing was his profession.

nBecause one thing you need to know about Victor is that he is a perfectionist. No matter what he does, it has to be of utmost perfection, including the dance he was performing with Kizy.

n

"First brother, you are great! Where did you learn those moves? Teach me.

" Kizy said excitedly.

n

"You are talking a lot.

" Victor said in a reprimanding tone and Kizy immediately stopped talking, remembering how Jason had warned them to not speak much.

nSoon the dance was over and all of them went back to their seats. The main course was served while games started.

nBut this time Jason and his group didn't participate, knowing they were already being watched for being on the dance floor for the longest, that too with those spectacular moves.

nLuckily no one noticed them.

nFinally the dinner came to an end, with Jason receiving three invites from people to meet.

nBut Jason wasn't here to create contacts. He was here because his stubborn teammates insisted and he never wanted to contact anyone from this place ever.

nOnce they were back near the gates, Kizy asked Jason.

n

"I heard that tomorrow, nobody's allowed to wear skin masks, but only masquerade masks with bare skin.

" Kizy said, surprising all the members.

n

"No such thing is present. Where did you hear this from?

" Jason asked, knowing the rules about Gala.

n

"The man who had asked me for dance.

" Kizy said confusedly.

nAfter all, why would the man lie to her, when he didn't even know her identity.

nJason just nodded without commenting.

nThe group separated at the gate. But no one noticed a man and woman who were silently present behind them, hiding themselves.

n

"Keep following her. Nobody should harm even a single hair on her body.

" The man ordered the woman, who simply nodded and followed behind Kizy and Rose.

nThe man was none other than the one who had asked Kizy to accompany him on the dance floor. He looked at the direction where Kizy had disappeared before smiling and going towards the main base of the Green Triangle.

nHe entered through the huge gates while no security blocked him. He directly walked inside the mansion-like house, being greeted by an old man, sitting leisurely on the couch.

n

"I want your help.

" The man said to the old man.

n

"What is it?

" The old man asked.

n

"Make an announcement saying that nobody is allowed to wear facemasks tomorrow.

" The man replied, making the old man widen his eyes.
