Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle–. It’s truly a world of glitter.
The orchestra playing beautifully, the chandelier made of highly polished, transparent crystals; the flowers painted on the walls by a famous painter, the high arched ceiling and the glass windows are all stained glass.
The flowers on display are opulent, and the food on display is nothing short of sumptuous.
And the joyful people around them, dressed in formal attire, laughing at each other’s beautiful gestures – it’s exactly the kind of court you would see in your dreams.
Well, it’s best not to get involved in the conversation because the content of the conversation is said to be a gut-punching match.
“Sister, are you all right?”
“Yeah… Melek, what do you think of my outfit?”
“Don’t worry, you’re very beautiful! You could even find someone to marry today!”
“No way. We have more important things to accomplish.”
”Yes… But, sister, you don’t have to decide to become a bride prematurely or anything, even if there are people who would call on you! Look, I’ll find one for you first, okay? Of course, it would also have to be a man who is worthy of the princess’s attention, and your colleagues would have to agree to it.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I’m glad you’re telling me stupid stories to try and ease my nerves, but it’s time to brace myself.”
“…Sister, I think you need to get your act together on this.”
“I won’t be feeling that way for some time. Since I won’t feel at ease until the day the Primera is married.”
“No, well, if that’s how you feel, that’s fine by me.”
I looked straight in front of me, wondering what Melek was trying to say.
I finally stepped into the social scene, which is said to be the battlefield of aristocracy, that I had assumed was fine from a distance until now – I still feel the urge to run away when I think about it.
But hey, it was Primera-sama’s birthday party and I wasn’t able to get involved at all!
As for what kind of dress I am wearing, the other maids and the head butler said, “You’ll find out on the day. You should go have a dance lesson or something.”
Probably the other maids and maidservants decided on the dress, and the head butler should have arranged for it, so it should be fine….
But the dress I received this time, I’m afraid to tell you that it’s made of high-quality fabric.
I’m sure the Queen Dowager would never do anything so sinister, so let’s just assume that she means to have me continue to serve Primera.
But still, I wonder if this design is going to be okay.
The trend in this country is to make slender people look even more slender with a fluffy princess line or chiffon material, but when I received my order, I was surprised to find that my design was slim and sleek.
At first glance, I thought my figure-hugging mermaid line dress would be plain and simple, with a loose gradient from top to bottom, but there were silver threads added to the fabric that occasionally shimmered with the movement.
I think the gradation from white to navy blue is also an unusual color.
Pastel colors are still popular for parties… and mine are wide open in the back and the sleeves are perfectly long.
The trendy dresses are all made of fluffy chiffon or lace in large amounts, and the colors are mostly pink, yellow, red and other warm colors, so I felt they stood out even more.
And many of their sleeves are made of thin lace that hides their slender arms underneath, so I can assure you that a shape that hides the shape of your arms but doesn’t hide it, like mine, is still a rare thing.
Is that old seamstress an innovative designer…?!
I stepped forward with my brother’s hand in front of me, inwardly nervous that I was losing my dress.
One of the royal attendants ostentatiously unfolded a piece of parchment, inhaled, and read our names cheerfully so that the entire party could hear.
”From Viscount Vandeid’s House, Viscount Melek Ravi von Vandeid and his daughter, Julia von Vandeid, are here!”
The butterflies of the court who were whispering and chatting, and the nobles who know each other, glanced at each other but didn’t do anything more than that.
It’s no surprise, since the main characters have already been rooted out, and the feeling that the Viscount family is… is not unusual either.
However, the women often glanced at me as if I were unusual in my attire, and to be honest, it was tiring.
No, maybe I’m just famous as an older woman who hadn’t made her debut in the social world yet.
After greeting in an appropriate manner, my brother chuckled and forgave me when I decided to stay by the wall on my own.
Thanks, little brother…I’ll never get used to a place like this…!
“Julia!”
“…Oba-sama.”
“Congratulations on your social debut… is what I wanted to say.”
“I’ll be glad if you did say so.”
“Yes, I’ve heard that my lovely niece and nephew are having a hard time because of my brother but if there’s anything I can do to help you, don’t hesitate to tell me.”
“Thank you. Then, please look out for Melek.”
“…Sure, I’ll make sure to do so.”
I can’t see the smile in your eyes, aunt, even though you elegantly hide your laughing mouth with a fan.
I’m sure that someone has sent information to you as well, but I can’t do anything here to find out for sure.
After all, the only thing he told me to do was to smile and make a debut in social circles.
The Queen Dowager said the same thing.
”Did the Princess see the present?”
“No, but it should be delivered to the Princess’s palace with the rest later. Also, since there will be people from other countries, I have learned that, with the exception of a few of the Earls, there will be no reading of the catalog at this time.”
“Formality is such a bother, isn’t it? Perhaps His Majesty is trying to spare the princess the trouble of being bored.”
When it comes to the birthday party of a royal family, it is to be expected that there will be a great number of gifts given.
Moreover, if other countries’ royalty were invited, the number would only increase further.
I wonder how long it would take them to read out the catalog.
The fact that she doesn’t even read out the catalog can be taken as an indication of how many gifts have been given to Primera.
Who she chooses for her husband, whether he has already been chosen, whether there will be a new selection from here, and whether or not it will change because of relations with other countries even is one of politics.
She’s just an 11-year-old girl.
But the mere fact of being born a princess is itself a political bargaining chip is staggering to an average citizen like me.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the entrance of King Alexa Sanburu of Kularaum, Queen Metalina, Crown Prince Aralbert Daum and First Princess Primera!”
“!”
“Uwaa, they are just as the rumors say! The royals are here!”
All at once, there is applause.
The orchestra that had been playing beautiful music earlier stopped playing, and many of the nobles were now staring at the royalty.
His Majesty the King was greeting them all with a lot of dignity, but in short, the country is rich and his daughter is lovely and he has no plans to give her to another country, the country is just getting started! Or that’s how it seems.
Dean Dayne is an interim fiancée. There is still a chance for a domestic nobleman’s son to have a chance, I guess.
The existence of Dean Dayne is already being whispered about among the well-informed aristocrats.
And Dean Dayne, who was tilting his head slightly as if he was having difficulty with His Majesty’s words, was dressed in a blue-tinged ceremonial outfie and wearing a simple mask, looking at his brother.
Maybe he would ask what His Majesty was talking about later.
Primera-sama on the stage was just hiding her mouth with a fan.
Since she hadn’t made her debut in the social world, it seemed to me that it was a trivial matter to say a few words of greeting.
Although it was definitely a white based princess line, the skirt itself was made of a large amount of chiffon material, and even more chiffon material with several colorful roses in bloom, it was just adorable!
The mask was made of black lace and looked like it was used for a masquerade ball. There were also some flowers on it, and the Primera’s silky hair was beautifully done up and decorated with pearls and flowers.
Ahh, a flower fairy that just came into this world!
She’s pretty, but she’s also got a dangerous sex appeal about her! Hey, that fan you’re holding, Primera-sama, is one of the ones I recommended before!
Oh, she spotted me! Those eyes! She’s smiling with her eyes! She’s so happy to see me!
Aaaaaaahhhh pretty! I really want to go by and admire and praise your appearance!
“Hey Julia, I know it’s nice to know that Your Highness is aware of you but that’s why you’re in the spotlight a bit now.”
“Ha?!”
“Notice how some of the noblemen are looking at you.”
“W-what…….as expected of Professional Socialite!”
“What’s a Professional Socialite?”
I smiled back at my aunt in dismay, not knowing what to say to myself.
