I'm all set. Today's outfit is the red dress that Mom liked last time, a black mask with lace details, a small black flower and 3 black feather at the right extreme of the mask, red lipstick, black gemstone choker and slightly curl hair. Although it's a 'simple' outfit in some situation less is more, right?
"Hi Mom, did you liked the decoration?"
"It's incredible hon. Thank you very much and I see you are wearing the red dress that I chose for you, it looks incredible"
Me too. Maybe because of the last party and all the comments I received after it, I'm not as uncomfortable with the red dress today.
"I like very it much too, I'm just worried about Father's reaction"
Speak of the Devil and the Devil shall appear. Curse this crow mouth of mine.
"Dear did you see- What are you wearing bunny?!! Go change it right now"
I can see the despair from Father's face, eyeing my Mother I try to convey to her 'deal with your husband since you are the one who troubled me'.
Getting my meaning she hook Father's arm.
"Now now Dear, doesn't she look great, I was the one that chose the dress for her, are you saying that I made a bad choice? Besides today is my birthday"
Utterly defeated by my mother's threatening tone, Father just hanged his head and mumbled something under his breath .
Mom, once again you proved how awesome you are. Who would thought that the Ice king, the Prime Minister of the country is a wife slave.
"Mom is right Father, sister is so pretty tonight!"
Lucius said with sparkling eyes making my heart melt.
"Fufu~ thank you Lucius, you are also very handsome. Do you want to welcome the guests with me?"
"Sure sister, is already time for they to arrive right? Let us go welcome them"
Slowly the guests came. By 40 min. after the party started the hall was half filled and the only ones missing right now were the Royal family and a Duke.
"Ceci you are so pretty today! Is this dress also from Asters?"
"It is, I see you also went to fill my pockets, thank you very much"
Not only Irene is dressed with Asters dress, more than half of the guests have one or more piece from Asters. Also most of them have mother some present from there. I'm happy and helpless about it, because I think the only one that received gifts were me.
"Of course! You now even have a line from Papillon! I'm going bankrupt because of you. Not only bankrupt but also fat, those cakes from the cafe are so dreamy that I can't stop eating"
"Maybe I should build a sweet store dedicated to you"
"Please don't, otherwise I'll really become a pig. Us normal humans struggle with what we can eat and can't. We are not like you that eat everything you wants and still keep this gorgeous body. And is even worse with this dress today, all the men are ogling you right now"
I smiled and didn't commented.
Honestly looking at their eyes, I feel like a fresh piece of meat thrown to the starving beasts. Which made me a bit uncomfortable.
The men right now are like they about to pounce on me, although I expected some kind of response I didn't think it would be so exaggerated.
"Well, you should just get someone to protect you. Where's Leo-kun he did a good job last time"
"He's with some of his friends, they were curious about his work at IP. Maybe by the end of the night I will get some efficient workers"
At this time the murmurs from the entrance grew louder, wondering what happened we looked at the entrance. Oh it seems the Royal Family is finally here.
"Hee... it seems that scum arrived together with that disgusting person. You should go and greet them and take that b*tch down with your looks"
Irene looked at the entrance with unveiled disgust.
'Aren't you too aggressive?'
"I don't plan to take anyone down but I do need to greet them. If you excuse me I'll be going"
"Go I'll look from here how regret and lust fill Scum Prince's face a moment from now"
Shaking my head helplessly to Irene, I went to the Royal Family. As one of my biggest supporters they are all dressed in Asters.
"Your Majesties and Your Highness Thank you very much to grant us Your presence in my humble birthday party, I hope you have a great time tonight"
Mom even if you don't like Julia you shouldn't ignore her, she will be our future Queen you know?
"Oh Millie, is our pleasure to be invited to your party. The organization is so beautiful and different, is the first time that I see a decoration without using flowers. Who did you hire to do? I will be doing a tea party for the Young Misses next month, I will be delighted if the party have the person organized it"
"Oh you praise too much Your Majesty, the one who organized the party was Cecile so I'm not sure who did it"
"Your Majesties, Your Highness and Miss Julia Thank you for coming to my Mothers birthday. And the one who did the decoration was me, so thank you very much for your praise, I'll be delighted to organize your tea party next month if you allowed me"
"Oh my! Can you do it Cecile? Alas, I really did loose a perfect daughter."
"It'll be my pleasure to do it Your Majesty. Let's not stand here let me guide you to your seats"
