The Villainess Is Tired

Party

Chapter 11

Days have passed it's the day when Ashlyn's father introduced her to other noble families and the royal family. The household was cheerfully celebrating the announcing of their new lady. They knew she was kind to them. But some of them are not happy. 'Why do we need to celebrate that bastard? She's not the real daughter' some were madly stabbing her with insults. Some of them are questioning and gossiping. Why do they need to do that?

Meanwhile in Ashlyn's room. The maids were preparing their lady for the party later. They dress her in yellow, it was an up-shoulder with sleeves, it had floral embroidery on it. Hair was tied into a knot in the center in the back and some of her hair was down, decorated with magnolia flowers. She wore her necklace given by Ari. It suited her in every inch of it. "My lady you really beautiful in what you wear." Camille said, "No one, not even the other noble daughters can match our lady's beauty." Nina boastfully said. Ashlyn, Camille, Ava, and, Mina was also there. just chuckled hearing it from her. Nina not really not talkative to others she is quiet to others and very-very talkative to her friends. "Camille, Ava, Nina, and Mina I'll just go walk to the garden. I want fresh air." Ashlyn stood. "My lady do you want us to accompany you?" they asked "It's alright. I can handle myself." They nodded and saw their lady coming out of her room while waving her hand biding, farewell.

In the garden, Ashlyn sat in one of the chairs there. She inhaled the fresh air while inhaling it she enjoyed the sights of the beautiful garden. It was mesmerizing and majestic. Ashlyn often comes here at night when she can't sleep. Ashlyn stood and go to the big tree, she sat in the grass. She saw the most wonderful part of the garden. It's the family flower symbol; Magnolia flowers.

She was startled when a book suddenly hit the ground. It was a relief that she was not hurt by it. She took the book and read it 'Moon's Goddess'. 'Whose book might this be? We're reading the same book?' she questions herself. Ashlyn looks above and saw the shadow of a boy. He jumped down Ashlyn saw that it was the crown prince; Claude Rivero La Rosenches Lune. Ashlyn bowed to his highness "This lady greets Lune's empire first-child, your highness Claude." She formally greeted him Claude stared at the book she was holding. Ashlyn realized she's still held the book in her arms "Oh, I'm sorry for my rudeness, your majesty. Here's your book *she gave it to him* your majesty you also read this book?" he nodded "I also have this book. It was given to me when I was in the orphanage. Forgive me again your majesty for talking too much. I want to excuse myself now for my rudeness." She bowed before attempting to walk away. Claude stops her "Wait, how did you know that I was the crown prince?" he asked curiously "I recognize his majesty because of his dark midnight hair. And because you wore that *pointing* aster flower brooch. May I now leave your highness." He nodded before Ashlyn walk away, she bowed to him again. Seeing her going far he assumed she is going back inside the mansion.

Someone jumped down from the tree "Brother, so that's the substitute lady of the De Alegro's. What's her name again?" he asked himself. "Ashlyn De Alegro" Claude said to his brother Alejandro. "Oh, I remember now she's lovely by the way. It was a pity I didn't get to talk to her." He cheerfully said. Claude didn't mind his brother and walk to the mansion. Alejandro was calling his name to stop and wait for him. But he ignored his brother.

Meanwhile, the noble families we're already at the main hall having fun while thinking about what kind of person is lady Ashlyn?

It was really glamorous but it'd stop when they heard someone making noise using a glass. Their gaze looks to the viscount above the second floor. "Everyone thank you all for making this night's party. As all of you know my real daughter Charlotte is gone. I've missed my real daughter I lounge the happiness of my daughter. I wanted to get over her so I decided to adopt a girl to be my new daughter. Her name is Ashlyn De Alegro." Then all of them saw Ashlyn behind his back. Her father Victor move aside to let them see her clearly.

They were stunned by seeing her. Her beauty was exceptional. She was just wearing light make-up seeing her natural beauty without it. Her soft lips must be smooth if it was touch. Her hair was extraordinary, her hair was lavender color with few strands of black. Ashlyn was born with that hair color. What's more sensational is her blue eyes. Her blue eyes are like blue gems and also like an endless sea. It held something besides clearness, mesmerizing, and loveliness. It held no life.

After they saw her. The guests talk to her with the royal siblings joining and his brothers standing by her side.
