I Choose The Heroine's Route

16 It's Too Late

When the day of my debut came – and before the party could even start, I was already exhausted.

Fortunately, it seems like Gaos got tired of bothering me since he hasn't said a word since earlier.

Although the party will start in the afternoon, the preparation for it started in the morning, and no one even warned me or told me about it. Waking up so early in the morning, and seeing several maids including Amy besides my bed – I was beyond stunned. It was Amy who woke me up, and at that time, I suddenly had the urge to hold on to my pillow and never let go.

However, against several maids and Amy herself, I was obviously outnumbered. In the end, I was forced to move.

Just like what the Duke said, he really did send some maids to help me prepare. Right after taking a bath, they started to help me prepare for my debutante. With Amy helping as well, they began to fix my hair. They also did my makeup – which they keep retouching after a certain amount of time. Saying that it was tiring is an understatement.

"Amy, how do I look?" I asked while looking at myself in the mirror.

"You look extremely beautiful, my lady!" – was her immediate response.

I stared at myself in the mirror. Looking at my own reflection, Aksia is really... pretty. Along with the maids, the Duke also sent a dress for me to wear for my debutante. At first, I was skeptical about leaving what I'll wear to him, but looking at the dress now, it was probably one of the most beautiful dresses I've seen in my whole two lifetimes.

The dress was beautiful and grand, to say the least.

The dress was mostly dark blue, and it reminds me of the night sky. There are jewels and diamonds on it which seems to serve as the moon and stars. Even with those, the dress gave a simple yet very elegant and classy look. The style is similar to a long one-shoulder dress, with a slit on the side. It hugged my figure, and the blue – almost transparent cape, attached on the shoulder strap with seemingly glitters and pearls all over it, is very eye-catching.

They also made me wear some accessories.

And I must say... everything matches beautifully. My raven hair was left as it is, but of course, they also made sure that it was straight and smooth.

"Lady Aksia, the Duke said that the party will start soon." Turning away my gaze from the mirror, I looked at the maid who notified me.

I sigh, "Tell him that I'll be there soon." She nodded before leaving the room. Now, It's only me and Amy again. Fortunately, they finally finished dressing me up. We started in the morning, and now... it's already time for the party. It took us hours to prepare. I let out another sigh. I think this is more energy consuming than learning Magic.

"Shall we go, my lady?" Amy said, smiling.

The party is going to be held in one of our empty... buildings. Since our land was wide, we own more than three buildings excluding the garden and other places. The Euridice Family resides in the Main Building, which is the largest, and my debut will be at the Party Hall – that's what the Duke called it. It was the second-largest building here, and it's usually where we hold parties and gatherings.

"Where are the guests right now?" I asked while we're walking towards the Party Hall. Three maids are also with us. Party Hall is not really that far, it's just a walking distance.

"They're currently in the garden, lady Aksia. We're waiting for your arrival first before letting them in the Party Hall." One of the maids answered and I simply nodded in return. The party is well organized I guess, they also probably decorated the garden. The number of guests right now must still be few, since if it wasn't they would have just let them in the Party Hall.
