The year had ended and as usual, there was a party to celebrate the new year. Honestly speaking, I never like this kind of party. Those nobles would only gossip and talk about me.
But sadly, I couldn' avoid the party. Since it's much better if I attended even for just standing at the corner than not at all. Bad rumors would spread and my reputation would become worse.
Besides, I got seventy for this year's evaluation. This was my time to start showing myself to social life and gain more power. Even though people thought that I was cheating, since there wasn't any proof then everything would be okay. I was willing to endure everything in order to survive. This is how you live at the palace after all.
"Noah, you ready?" I took a glance at Noah. He wore his formal uniform that night, the sight that you would see only several times in a year.
"Yes. I'm ready, your highness."
