Party for a royal...?
Jennette and Athanasia woke up almost at the same time. Jennette woke up feeling happy that it is finally her debutante.
While Athanasia woke up because Lilian York woke her up.
Both girls are getting swarmed by maids to prepare them for the party of Princess Jennette de Alger Obelia.
Jennette thought if her Father will attend and if Athanasia will be there.
'I hope not.'
After getting Athanasia to wake her senses up, she became excited to attend the party.
Athanasia glanced at the table near her room's sitting area and saw the present she prepared for her.
'I hope she likes it.'
She purposely didn't send it ahead of time to her, because she wants to give it to Jennette personally.
Both girls have each other's opposite thoughts.
Once Jennette finished dressing up, she stepped outside of her chambers and saw the maids of the Ruby Palace line up.
"Happy fourteenth birthday, Princess Jennette."
They all said in a monotone voice while bowing to give respect.
She smiled and said thank you, the maids slowly moved away letting the girl pass through.
"Announcing, Ijekiel Alpheus, the young master of House of Alpheus!"
Jennette turned her head and saw a man with silver hair and glowing pair of yellow eyes. The man bowed to give respect and greet her a happy birthday.
"Thank you, I suppose you are my escort to the party?"
Ijekiel nodded. "I am, Thank you for choosing me and giving me the honour to escort you."
She smiled awkwardly since she didn't have a choice, he was simply chosen by her Father. Ijekiel reached his hand out and she happily accepted it.
He guided her out of the palace and to the second ballroom of the Palace. He was wondering why it is not held at the main ballroom where most parties held by royals happen.
"Entering, the debutante, Princess Jennette de Alger Obelia! Together with her escort, the Young Master of House of Alpheus, Ijekiel Alpheus!"
Once they were announced, they emerged to the ballroom and slowly went down the stairs.
They had the first dance, while the noble whisper and observe the surroundings.
'Is His Majesty not coming?'
Was the main question around the nobles gossip, after the two gad dance, the other debutantes also started dancing, while she gets offered by other young men to dance with them.
'I heard there will be two debutante parties that's why some didn't attend today.'
'Really?!'
Jennette was confused by the rumour that she had heard but simply thought that maybe, Athanasia will be having her debutante separately. Which made her sighed calmly.
Suddenly there was a trumpet sound indicating that a royal family member is entering the ballroom.
"Entering, Her Highness, Princess Athanasia de Alger Obelia, escorted by..."
The announcer had to double-check for a brief second before proceeding with the announcement. "His Majesty, Emperor Claude de Alger Obelia!"
The nobles looked at each other first before bowing, when the two have gone down the stairs, that's when the nobles looked up and saw the other princess in a light lavender dress with white pearly flower ornaments, that is being compared to the debutante's dress which is a dark blue dress with intricate design and gold ruffles.
His Majesty wears a simple formal outfit that is supposed to not attract too much attention
Athanasia left Claude's side and went up to Jennette as she stares at her wondering why she was headed her way.
"Happy birthday, I hope you like my gift..."
Athanasia said, while extending her gift, Jennette stared at it before looking behind her seeing a table full of gifts from the guests that attended the party.
'Why are you doing this?'
Jennette looked at her father, who was busy conversing with the Knight of Crimson Blood, Felix Robane.
She looked back at Athanasia and saw that she was smiling sweetly at her while her hands that hold the gift are extended towards her, then back at the gift.
She was about to reach it when she remembers the reason why she had to work hard over the years.
"Stop crying like a baby. I hate it." Claude said coldly.
"Y-your M-majesty, is it true? You'll sell me...?"
"Are you deaf? You heard what I said earlier, isn't that why you barged in without my permission?"
She flinched. "If you're selling me, please don't sell my sister..." His eyebrows shot up at her statement.
"Who said I'm selling her? She'll be staying here. Studying on how to become a proper Princess, and being a perfect Empress." Claude stated.
She looks at her face once again and reached for the gift.
Once the gift is in her hands she stares at it, Athanasia was smiling widely because her friend accepted her gift, while everyone stares at the two princesses' even the Emperor and Felix were staring at them.
Jennette gripped the gift and made an action that made, Athanasia, very surprised as well as everyone else.
"Jennette de Alger Obelia!" A loud voice echoed throughout the ballroom that made everyone flinched.
