So, in my past life, I am Sissie Florentia, a famous novel writer. On my way home from a fan meeting, I died and transmigrated into my own novel, Cecelia: You're Breaking My Heart, You're Shaking My Confidence Daily! But I am not the main character but the insignificant character who loved the second male lead Duke Eleanor, who only loved the main character, Cecelia Allison Roberts. And I will die on my 18 birthday, and that is TOMORROW.
I, Cecelia Florencia, will change my destiny!
But how? Here are my plans.
A. Tell the count not to hold the celebration.
" Father, there's something I'd like to ask from you."
"Oh, baby what is it? It's your debut tomorrow so of course you can ask anything. "
"And Oh! Sebastian!" he said while looking at Sebastian hastily, his fork still on his plate. "Make sure to list all that my baby says, okay?"
"Uhmmm, it's just one favor father. No need to list."
" Oh c'mon, we aren't poor. Just ask anything."
" I just want to ask you if we can just celebrate my debut simply, no party."
At my wish, he dropped his fork.
" No, we can't. Such thing may cause rumors that we are struggling. We're RICH after all, no need to be humble Sissie."
"But--"
"No buts Sissie" he said in a stern voice as he continue his meal.
Plan A failed.
B. Pretend sick in order to stop the celebration.
"My lady, the Countess calls you for the tea time. "
" I'm sick Lizy, tell mother I can't come." I tell her as I tried to act weak and fake an illness.
"Oh no!" Lizy said dramatically as she covered her mouth with her hands. "Imma tell the Madame!" as she hurriedly rush outside the room.
.....a few seconds later.....
" Oh my! Baby are you okay? " Mother said as she hurriedly run beside my bed.
" Don't worry they'll gonna heal you".
Whatttttttt??? They're 1,2,3,4----------50?
"They are all the mages in the kingdom. They can heal you instantly, don't worry."
" M-mother, i-it's not that bad~"
"It's your debut tomorrow, you can't be sick."
Plan B failed.
C. Avoid the staircase!
" Can I make the entrance from the door in the ground floor? I don't want to use the stairs."
" But, baby, it's the legendary stair walk where you'll walk with the spotlight!" mother said.
" I want to climb the stairs this time! To make a difference!"
" O-okay." the two of them said awkwardly.
"E-ehhh???? I can?"
" Of course...If it's what you like."
Plan C approved!
"I'm saved!" I shouted as i lie down in my bed.
....
" Entering, Miss Sissie Claire Florentia and Count Elvin Florentia!"
As per request, I walk into the room by the exit and into the center. Many people were looking at me, but honestly, I don't know them all.
When my father left me in the center table as he gathered with his peers, ladies asked me various questions.
" Where did you buy your dress, mylady?"
" What shop did you get your look done?"
" Is it true that the emperor is coming?"
Whattttttttt??????
" What in the world is the cra--, I mean caring Emperor will do in my humble celebration?" I asked deliberately.
" The Count invited him and he replied with a letter. Rumors said he's going to be your escort when you climb the stairs. Is it really true mylady?"
NO WAY!
"I think there's no need for that."
I'm more afraid of walking hand in hand with him than falling off the stairs. How in the world did my father make that tyrannic emperor go all the way here?
"Entering, His Majesty Aiden Von Callypse!
"Oh so he really is here?"
" His Majesty!"
"So handsome!!"
*tak *tak *tak
Everyone made their exaggerated comments as the tyrannic emperor makes his way and stops right beside me.
"Shall we?"
He asks as he extends his hand for me to reach.
Seriously? Can I not reach it?
"M-my pleasure, Your Majesty."
He held my hand as we walk hand in hand in the long staircase.
It's not really great. Even with the close distance, all I can feel is fear.
Finally, it's the last step.
*pluk
I staggered as the heel of my shoe slipped from the edge of the staircase.
"Be careful." The emperor said as he reached his arms to save me.
Woo. I thought it was my end.
