Beautiful chandeliers lit up the grand foyer, making the marble floors shine and the fancy furniture sparkle. Servants rushed around, setting up flowers and draping luxurious fabrics over everything, making the place look like a fairy tale.
In the ballroom, decorators were busy hanging up fancy fabrics and pretty lace to create a stunning backdrop. Musicians tuned their instruments, filling the air with lovely music that added to the anticipation.
The smell of delicious food drifted from the kitchen, where talented chefs were cooking up mouthwatering dishes for our guests. Tables were filled with trays of tasty treats, and glasses waited to be filled with bubbly champagne.
The entire Clorance manor is alive with excitement. It feels like everything just happened yesterday - the whole frenzy, about me, being reincarnated as this character in the novel. But here I am, preparing for my first ever debut in the social world.
It is a local tradition in this empire that once a young lady comes of age, they are required to host a debut ball or join the debut ball held by the imperial family once a year.
And this year - this exact day - I, Cassia Clorance, am now at the age of sixteen. For most, this age was an opportunity to find a suitable match for marriage. But for me, marriage was the last thing on my mind.
"How could this be? M'lady, you're simply radiant. You look like an angel descended from the heavens," Rose exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at me.

"Rose finally got something right for once," Violet teased, earning a playful jab from Camille.
"Enough of that," Mira interjected as she entered the room. "My lady, how are you feeling? Everything is ready, and the guests have begun to arrive. It won't be long before the party commences."
In all honesty, I'm nervous. I didn't think celebrating your own birthday would be this nerve-wracking. I'm having mixed up emotions right now.
Hearing the door creaked open, I quickly turned towards it and saw Father entering the room, accompanied by Philip.

"Is everything ready according to plan?" Steven inquired, as he and Philip approached Cassia's chambers.
