What is with everyone wanting to dress me up like a princess?

I wonder how people will react when they'll find out I belong to two mafias.
Baba said that I'll only be introduced. I don't have to give a speech like the other time which I'm really grateful for. He told me he'll do all the speech giving things.
Also Kai is here, but uncle Archo will distract him when baba will introduce me. We don't want him to know I'm adopted.
Like brother like sister.
"Hey!" I look beside me. Deigo.
Are you kidding me?
"You're not to leave me, will you?"
He fake thinks for a moment then answers, "Nope."
"Okay."
I say and look at the front stage.
He pokes my arm, "look at me."
"No, you're ugly."
"I'm offended."
"I would be too if I were you."
A tapping sound on the mic takes our attention to the front stage.
Baba stands there looking nervous. Everyone goes silent.
"Hello Everybody! I hope everyone present here is enjoying. The main purpose of this ball was to introduce y'all my daughter and give her respect in the underworld!"
Everyone applauses.
"I would like you all to meet my daughter, Athena Galanis!"
The lights are shown directly on me and everyone's gone silent. Even Deigo is frozen beside me.
"I know I know. There is a lot of confusion and I would be confused too if I were in your position." He starts nervously.
"The thing is, when Athena was just born in her biological family, the Italians. I kidnapped her with the sick intention of abusing her with the thought of taking revenge from Allessandro for the murder of my dead brother and his wife."
Everyone stays quite. I do too. He's never told me any of this in detail.
"Honestly I hated her at first, to the point.." he stops mid-sentence looking at me. I frown.
"To the point I injected drugs into her arm when she was only a few hours old."
Gasps are heard from every corner of the room. I just stare at him blankly.
"That bastard!" Allessandro curses behind me.
"I know I did a lot of wrong things. But I won't lie when I say I love her. Like my daughter. Like my life."
