Sylvy looked all around her. Before she could figure out where she was, a familiar voice sent chills down her spine.
"Look straight, chin up," her mother, Lady Yvon, said sternly as the made powder puffed Sylvy's face.
Two other maids were pinning her hair up, clipping on the gemstone encrusted hair clips onto her hair as they went. This scene was all too familiar for Sylvy. It was the day that changed her life forever.
"Mother, why do I need to go?" Sylvy asked.
"Straighten your back. Sylvy Flutterheart, you are the daughter of the Flutterheart Family after all," her mother chided.
"You have to go because it is tradition. All members of the Flutterheart Family must be present for the ceremony," Lady Yvon continued.
With most of the final touches done, Lady Yvon sent the maids out of the room. Only the mother and daughter remained.
Turning to her daughter, she said, "Remember Sylvy…"
