Chapter 7 - 006:Evgenís as in Noble...

Every House of the aristocratic society had its own set of rules. There was also a complete set of rules to be followed strictly by the members of the House of Della Rovere. One of the rules was that after eating everyone should leave together for their own work. No one was allowed to leave individually , no matter how urgent your work is. So, no matter how much tired she was or how much her head was throbbing Asteri, sat there silently closing her eyes, trying to soothe the pain as much as possible. When she heard her mother's unexpected question, she was slightly startled as she had truly forgotten the matter of her debutante. She silently thought for a second than looking at her mother who seemed a little excited she said,"I forgot about it." Greta stared at her daughter, a little astonished. She knew that her daughter was a little introvert but she didn't think that Asteri would even forget about her most important day.

Debutante ball is the most important day in the life of an aristocratic lady. Stepping foot in the high society is no easy matter. And because Asteri is the heir to one of the duchy of the Atlantis Empire, she will be even more heavily watched from all sides. Once an aristocratic lady step foot in the high society she needs to solidify her position or else she will be forgotten, replaced or tarnished by the unjustified and heavy criticisms of the high nobles. This was how it worked whether you like it or not.

"How could you forget this important event?!..Only two months are left for the ball..!!" Greta was truly panicked. Asteri wanted to say that it was just a dress but knowing her mother who truly placed importance on such events, she would be scolded yet again, so she kept quiet. "Honey, I would need to contact Tina, the best designer in the empire as soon as possible and take care of the accessories she would need. I must do it today...Yes, today will be for the best as the time is limited. Will you go for the palace alone today??" They had an important appointment with the royal couple but it was not as important as the dress for the ball. Marco looked at his beloved wife with an assuring smile and said "Do what you need to do. I will handle it. " Margarita looked between her mother and father and said "I want to go too mother since, sister needs to be the best or else everyone would laugh. I will choose the best for sister." Her cute face lit up with a lovely smile. It was only a concern of a younger sister towards her elder sister, is it not? Of course not. Asteri looked at her for a moment than turned away. She thought her younger sister looked like a joker on a horse. Thinking of the truly ridiculous scene her aching head soothed a little. Greta had yet to reply when Asteri spoke "There is no need, mother. Please enjoy your time with father. Since mother has notified me I will go myself for the needed dress right after the breakfast. Mother don't have to worry." Asteri said with a gentle smile that truly highlighted her goddess like face. Greta was startled when she saw the beautifully rare smile of her indifferent daughter, that before she could say anything, she had already nodded. When she
came back from her dazed self it was already too late. 𝒯𝓇𝓊𝓁𝓎 𝒶 𝒻𝒶𝒸𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝒶 𝓃𝓎𝓂𝓅𝒽.
