Aurelia's coming of age is only a week away from happening, it was her first time for such a big and luxurious party to be held for her, and to see the efforts of the Count made her very happy.
Aurelia was both excited and nervous, She will just knows that she'll be burdened by the people who will want to become friends with her so the two characters Karina and Juvian was enough for her.
It was Saturday when she personally handed the invitation to Juvian .
She also asked a favor if he could dance with her friend Karina.
Juvian agreed to his adorable friend.
She asked because Georgia will be attending as the plus one of the Duke.
Lia obviously did not want to invite the Duke but she had no choice because he is a hero of the empire he is also as important as the emperor, and if she does not invite him then she'll ruin her possibly good reputation as soon as she is revealed to the public and she didn't want that.
And Aurelia didn't want Karina to be humiliated because Karina's father has yet to break the engagement.
Plus Lia was hoping to break Juvians puppy love for her, Juvian was a womanizer in the novel and he only quit for Georgia.
But Lia bets that Juvian will fall inlove at first sight with Karina for she is as wonderful as ever.
Karina was okay with Lia helping her out she was absolutely touched.
Lia's outfit was finished and so are her shoes the outfit was matching and Lia was speechless for it must cost a whole fortune,
the had dress had no corset but had many layers of comfortable fabric the dress also has actual diamonds as decorations and her shoes were like the ones Cinderella had but comfier, and finally she wore a headpiece made of gold.
Lia was very mesmerized by everything just for her 18th birthday.
The preparations for her 18th birthday is almosy complete, now all she needs is an escort.
Visache let her pick who's going to be her escort since it was her birthday and she has her own choices.
While she was picking the dishes for her feast she thought...
() Wow, this is really happening...
all these people are working hard because of my birthday.
Is this what being pampered is like?
I don't even care about the story,
I'll just let it go with the flow.
With all this love and support from my family and friends I might almost think that I'm the one getting ruined in this story, pfft...
My Lady these are the letters of request to be your escort.
Joan mentioned
() This is a lot.
Lia thought
"" Thank you Joan may I get some time alone.
Yes My Lady... Joan said as she left the greenhouse.
The invitations that are sent to Lia are asking if they could escort her eventhough they hadn't met her personally, there was no one that she wanted to go with in fact if it was possible for her to come along she'll gladly do so, but she will be the center of attention for the wrong reason.
Until she saw a request from...
Simon he is Lia's favorite character from the novel.
Simon is the overworked aid of the Crown Prince, he has helped the crown prince since he ascended to the throne, he is absolutely handsome enough to be part of Georgia's male interest, but he was too busy for work to have romance.
And unfortunately he died protecting Georgia.
There was no better choice than to go out with your favorite character right? so , Lia decided to have Simon as her escort.
Lia instantly sent a reply, now she has an escort.
And all she has to do is wait until it's time for her celebration.
A few days later~
Today is the day of Aurelia's social debut and her coming of age birthday.
The place was hectic, everyone was busy and everyone didn't forget to congratulate her, in this world everyone turning into age has to go to the temple and do the ritual to get their blessings
Lia is both nevous and excited to meet new people in her life again, and also excited to start a new chapter of her life.
"" May the light shine upon you and all of your wishes will come true and I give you the blessing of Goddess Shinea, to become one with the temple. The priest said.
• In this world they worship Goddess Shinea
she is the one who started the empire and the one who keeps the peace of this world. •
Lia left the temple and went back to their estate to get dressed up and ready .
""My Lady you look... like the goddess of beauty,
the servants said as they are proud of their work.
It is six PM and getting Lia ready took about
five whole hours, but the result was absolutely worth it!
Lia looked more stunning as she already is it was up to a new level her dress shoes make up and hair was absolutely gorgeous with five hours of getting ready to look like this she won't complain.
