My silver hair was now down to my waist looking like a waterfall reflecting the bright moon as I sat in front of the mirror. I was taller now and my features have grown a little mature but not that much. I still look like the ten year old me but older.
"My lady, you will be turning fifteen this year." Hezekiah, my maid, who was brushing my hair said. "Have you thought of your debut?"
Debut.
I was actually not interested in it so I left in my younger sister's care. Uriel, who has been taking care of our external affairs was also fond of parties. She was ecstatic to prepare my debut for me.
"Uriel will be taking care of it with Seb." I answered her.
Her brow twitched lightly at my reply which made me look at her from the mirror.
"What is it?" I asked her, thinking that she may not expect much from my butler.
"Well, that is the debut you will have here." She pointed out. "What about your debutant ball?"
Oh.
That's right.
"You recieved an invitation for the debutant ball from the palace." She reminded me. "All ladies that turned fifteen every year will celebrate there as their proper debut to society."
I almost forgot about it.
The Queen will host a debutant ball every year to celebrate all noble girls who will turn fifteen that year. This is the debut to society, a way of telling other nobles to 'Please take care of me'. On the side, it was also a way for the princes to find ladies who they may fancy or a marriage prospect.
"I did not expect to receive an invitation from them after what Athy did." I smirked.
A very interesting thought suddenly came to my mind.
"Hezekiah, how would you like to prepare my debut here instead of Sebastiene?" I smiled at her.
"It would be an honor, my lady." She replied with a puzzled look.
The next morning, I called my maids and butler for a meeting. So far, I have two maids, the dragon Charlotte and the Cubus clan princess, Hezekiah. Of course, I also have the first demon king, Sebastiene as my butler.
"Everyone is here, my lady." Sebastiene announced as he stood beside my table.
We are now inside my study and both of my maids have no idea why they were called. Hezekiah was looking at me expectedly with her eyes full of excitement. I guess this is the first time she actually got called in for a meeting with the other two as I always give her a different mission.
Charlotte, the lovely child who looked only a few years younger than me, looked blank as she always does. Since I picked her up five years ago, her appearance had not really changed over the years. She now looked around Athy's age, has the same facial expression as her except when she sees food. This tiny girl has the stomach of a dragon. Literally.
"So today, I wanted to make changes with the plans that we have laid out so far." I started as I leaned closer to the study table and placed my hands on top.
This means business.
"Sebastiene, leave my debut party here to Hezekiah and Uriel."
Sebastiene raised a brow as he looked at me yet he replied curtly. "As you please, my lady."
"I need you with me for the palace debutant ball. There is something I want you to do there." I explained briefly which made him look at me curiously for a brief moment.
"Hezekiah, I want you to work with Uriel for my debut but I would also like you to prepare a number of dresses for my debut and the palace debutant ball." I instructed her. "I trust your fashion sense as much as I trusts my sister's."
Hezekiah gave a delighted nod at her mission. I was not lying when I said I trusted her fashion sense. She knows exactly which dress style and color would fit me or anyone else. Her personal dress style was a bit on the sexy side but she would never allow us to wear anything that she does not deem appropriate for human kids. She does let mother or other older ladies wear revealing but elegant clothes.
"As for you Charlotte, I would like you to send a message to Madam Red." I told her. "But I need you to protect this message since there has been countless incidents where the messages and informations are intercepted on the way."
Charlotte nodded silently before asking. "Those who try to intercept, can I..?"
"Of course." I nodded, not needing to hear the rest of her sentence. "You can do what you deem right or necessary."
Charlotte nodded again, her face blank.
"Do you have any questions?" I asked them. "Feel free to ask."
"Then, my lady, who will be going with you to the royal capital?" Hezekiah asked curiously as she have never been there.
"I will be taking both you and Charlotte." I answered her. "Why do you ask? Would you like to stay here instead?"
Hezekiah shook her head lightly before smiling meaningfully. "There is actually someone I would like to meet with at the capital."
I looked at her. Then it clicked.
Oh.
