[Y/N] placed her hand on her chest, heaving out a deep sigh. She felt nervous about standing before so many people for the first time in a long while. Perhaps it was because it has been such a long time since she has done so, as she had gotten used to working in the shadows, but she knew she had to do this in order to one-up Asahi. 

It was her birthday after all, and what kind of sister would she be if she didn't strive to be better than him? Her birthday simply could not pale in comparison to his. Especially since he would be there as well.

She heard Ayato walk into the dressing room, and she turned to look at him.

Immediately upon his arrival, Akiko and her other maids covered her, "Lord Ayato! How could you barge in here?! The Madame has not yet dressed properly, please leave!"

The woman chuckled at Ayato's puzzled expression.

The maids have been so protective of her ever since they first laid their eyes on the numerous love bites enveloping a large portion of her body. Akiko almost fainted thinking [Y/N] was injured, but she soon understood what had happened, and ever since then, she seemed to be irritated whenever Ayato was near the woman. This, however, did not bother [Y/N]. She found the maid to be absolutely adorable.

"Ayato, you ought to listen to them," grinned [Y/N].

"Of... course," he shifted his eyes away from the half-undressed woman, "I just wanted to ask how much longer are you going to be in here?"

[Y/N] smiled, "For as long as Akiko will have me."

The maid blushed. She had always been such a cute girl. It was easy for [Y/N] to get along with people like that.

But soon enough, Akiko cleared her throat, "Now, my Lord, please go!"

"Yes, yes," Ayato mused as he was being pushed out of the dressing room by the maids.

After a while, the maids were finally done getting [Y/N] all dressed up and prettied. As the woman was looking at herself in the full body mirror, her maids swooned over how their Madame looked.

One of the maids commented, "Your Grace, you truly are the most beautiful person in the world! There is more beauty in the touch of your hand than in every fashion magazine ever printed."

The woman laughed, turning to look at the maid, "You jest, surely."

However, the maids insisted on her "unparalleled beauty", so [Y/N] decided to simply let it go. Soon after, she was escorted out of the dressing room with Akiko trailing behind her in case of an emergency. After all, [Y/N] wished to stay as perfect and as beautiful as her maids have made her for the entire night. So Asahi could see that no amount of trials can ruin her.

She soon met up with the Kamisato siblings near the huge Kamisato estate doors that lead to the back garden since Ayato had strictly prohibited [Y/N] from leaving the estate until they took care of Asahi and his constant threats, otherwise they would have been holding this party someplace else.

Ayaka was the first to bring the woman into a hug, "Happy birthday, sister! Today is a special day that will go by very fast, so let us take every second to make the most out of every moment. May tonight be the best birthday of your life."

The woman wrapped her arms around Ayaka, "This is the fourth time you are wishing me a happy birthday today, Ayaka."

"Haha, is it too much? I apologize. I'm simply so excited to have spent yet another year with you, sister," Ayaka pulled back with the broadest smile.
