"Count Mertl and Countess Eriela with their two daughters; Young Lady Jasmine and Young Lady Liezel."
Liezel heard a man announce the name of her family. Her hand reached out for her sister's hand and her mother reached out to hold hers.
The four of them, including her father, entered the threshold of the grandiose ball upholding the Duchy of Sandoval.
Every month for as long as Liezel could remember, her family would go to a social event such as this.
Her father occasionally missed being with them because he had to attend work as one of King Rashio's counselors. Her big sister began to accompany her mother in greeting the adult nobles who were familiar with their family.
