So I've reincarnated as Mielle Roscente!

20. So I've been invited into a Drama?!

D-DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED-! I woke up a little earlier than I do. And the reason? Today is Aria's birthday. Well, after my little meeting with Jessie,  Aria sent me a birthday invitation to her small birthday gathering she was doing at the mansion a couple of days later.

I've been stuck in my room for the entirety of the week, pretending to be sick anyway, so she must be thinking that I'll not be attending her little get-together. But unfortunately for her, that's exactly what I plan to do. 

Hohoho... Big sister Aria~ how come you get to make me skip out on all the fun? 

That's because today, I have a very important role to play...

I immediately dolled myself up to the frilliest dress that the world could ever give, the dress that screams: 'I love my sister!' than anything else. 

Emma was seething in bitterness as I prepared myself. "I don't understand why you'd have to do this to yourself my lady~ you don't even like her..." 

"Oh, Emma~ who said that?" I lied straight out of my mouth. "Today is a very important day for a very important actress," I muttered. 

"And that dress..." Even Emma agreed that this frilly dress nonsense was a little too much. But honestly, Mielle's only good point in terms of appearance is how adorable she looks. Mielle Roscente's physical features, although not on par with Aria's, were good enough to be called beautiful and cute. 

Therefore, I have to enhance this cuteness by only putting on things that little sisters do. 

Man~ do little sisters even do this? I remember that on my birthday, the only thing my sisters have ever done for me is to kick my butt. Huh... so I think its probably the most unrealistic thing to do.

Whatever. 

I went down the hall earlier than usual and stood out by the door. Even the butler and the other maids around the mansion looked a little confused to my attire. But honestly, it fit! I looked around... so Aria wasn't there yet. 

Hmph! She has no idea what's about to hit her-!

Suddenly the doors opened to reveal the set of oncoming guests. Sarah and her gathering of friends appeared right behind each other as they stepped into the entrance with a smile on their faces;

"Welcome everyone," I announce loudly my hands happily welcoming them into the mansion. Everyone looked surprised, or rather shocked at my appearance. Yes. Yes. Be surprised! "Thank you for being here for my sister's birthday." I smiled broadly as I welcomed them one by one.

Sarah looked the most surprised, her face almost bursting into joyousness after seeing me. "A-ah, L-lady Mielle-!" 

I smiled even more at her and said, "Welcome Sarah, it's been so long. All of. you, come in." I tell them ushering them into the main hall of the birthday feast. The other girls looked shy as they approached me behind Sarah. Ah... so they must be friends of Sarah Lorenz, invited to come here because Aria didn't have a lot of friends. 

Interesting. 

"Oh my~! I didn't know so many people have gathered up already-" Aria rushed down the stairs, but when she saw my presence downstairs, she looked surprised, no- almost taken aback by my sudden appearance. "-M-Mielle!" 

"Happy Birthday Lady Aria!" The others shouted as they quickly wrapped their hands around hers and gave her the presents. Aria looked shy as she sat down around the others and welcomed them in politely. But I could see that her gaze on me hadn't left. 

I looked to see if she had anything near her. Like the hourglass. Nope. I didn't see her carrying anything, unless she's hiding it from me. Hmm... this can get a little dangerous, but it's fine. I still have all my cards.
