Well, you're all probably sick of me in the BC tags by now, but this is something that i came up with when I was looking at some aesthetics and thought a Masquerade type ball would be fun in the Black Clover setting.

BRIEF OVERVIEW
What is Masquerade?
Masquerade is an event in the Clover Kingdom to happen every three years. It is to celebrate all the victories and achievements of the Kingdom.
NOTE: From the reign of Augustus Kira Clover X through Augustus Kira Clover XIII, Masquerade didn't take place, as the rule of Masquerade is to invite the entire kingdom, no matter one's class. The beloved Wizard King, Julius Novachrono, pushed for it at the next date it was supposed to take place as a morale booster for the public and the Magic Knights, as they had been the ones taking the brunt of the demon attacks.
How Does Masquerade Work?
Everyone picks a mask upon entry to the Royal Capital. The masks were made by skilled artisans with the magic to transform oneself into the image of a new person. The mask even changes voices! Masks are either half or wholes, mostly everyone picks the half-masks.
Once inside the ballroom, with the orchestra from the University playing dancing music, you're free to mingle with whomever, but you are not to reveal your true name. Everyone gets a temporary name to use, if they wish
The event lasts from sundown to sunrise.
A popular game to do is 20 questions.
At sunrise, you can take your mask off and reveal yourself if you so wish. Everyone gets to keep the masks as a souvenir, but the magic is good for the night of Masquerade only.
Surprising romances tended to follow Masquerade.
Couples can come together and get matching masks as well, so no need to worry about losing your significant other in the crowd.
There are several contests throughout Masquerade, with the prize of a favor from the King of Clover:
-The Masquerade King and Queen, the best dressed
-The Masquerade Duke and Duchess, the best dancers
-The Masquerade Baron and Baroness, the best couple

As always let me know what you think!
