Jim's daughter, you say?'

Everyone mutter at the unexpected event.

Seeing to the left and right she could see Isekiel and the Duke Alfius also bowing like her. Seeing the two, she was able to calm down fast.

The emperor Claude didn't speak a word for a moment. Jennet elegantly lifted her head like she was taught.

She knew moving without permission was forbidden but it was due to her curiousity of how her dad looked like.

Her eyes met with the blue gem like eyes shining under the chandelier. Fortunately Claude didn't get angry. Instead he seemed to have felt interest towards her guts.

Ah, so this is my father. Thinking this, Jennet was touched.

Just then, the emperor's gaze moved to the back of Jennet. Jennet moved to see her back as well and was surprised.

It was because a fragille and pale girl who could faint any moment was standing there.

The girl was shivering. She was very beautiful if you see her close but thought she was a beautiful flower withering.

Jennet soon realized that she was princess Atanasia, her step sister.

'Interesting.'

The emperor's voice made Jennet turn back.

'I'll hear the full story in the work room. I should leave now.'

Claude who was watching the nobles in the debutante with a bored face and posture, for the first, time faintly smiled.

No one dared to say a word about it so they bowed until he left. And after the emperor left completely, it became so noisy.

'Straighten your back more.'

Jennet sighed in relief but turned her head to Duke Alfius.

'No matter what anyone says, this party's heroine is you, princess Jennet.'

Duke Alfius who raised her like his actual daughter was now formally talking to her. It wss uncomfrotable but she knew that there were no choice.

'Hands please.'

Isekiel who stood next to her reached his hand out. Jennet inhaled before taking the hand infront of her.

Everyone watched the 3 walk to the hall.

Then she saw princess Atanasia. She seemed weak and depressed.

Jennet heard from the nobles whispering that she didn't get any escorts, even from her dad and that no one would dance with her.

Jennet who shined today and was loved by her family was worried of her step sister who looked ashamed and fragile. But there were nothing she could do for her yet.

Jennet took a step closer to where she was supposed to be standing right now.

-Lovely Princess

Volume 2- The best debutante -

***

"One step to the right."

A day so sunny and clear, the girl who's 13 year old....

I was dancing great without the music.

"Now turn twice in that spot. Very good!"

It was not a normal hsrd thing but after doing it 100, 1000 times, I got used to it. Wahahah. This is what you call a human win!

"Back one step, and to the right again."

That was the last move. I spun twice elegantly before lightly doing the pose.

And finally for the bow! Whoop!

I knew that I looked like an elegant butterfly. My dance teacher Pondafyu chit chatted stuffs like always.

"Really, There are no errors in princess Atanasia's dancing. Enough to want to show princess to other young ladies I teach as an example.How you dance so light like a flying fairy, and how you make those elegant and beautiful movements!"

Uh huh. You wanna know why? Because I am a genius! Wahahahaha!

...Hmm, *Clears throat*. Sorry. Not because of that but because I am the daughter of the dancer Diana. Do you know the magic of the bloodlines? And from the next words I knew that Ms. Pondafyu thought the same.

"The fact princess's mother is a dancer helps in this way."

Eit, that women.

I knew there were no bad intentions to Ms. Pondafyu's words but I felt offended. But I would just smile as always.

"The compliments are too much. I just learnt from you, teacher and tried hard."

I felt her being touched. Because a pretty girl like me can act spoiled but I didn't!

Ms. Pondafyu left Emerald palace with a happy face. That's when I loosed up my face muscles and made a frown.

Bleh. Ptt Ptt. I know you don't have any bad intentions but can you not? I didn't want to hear that, especially the thing with my mom because there were teachers increasing who were shameful of her death.

Plus, according to my past life logic, a style like Ms. Pondafyu made people who gets mad at her words very weird. So I didn't bother to make a deal out of it.

Mmm. But it's only because they have no bad intentions. If they did or if people who did appear, I don't think I'll act the same way.

"Grandma witch's been here for too long."

I heard a voice of a good looking person. It was a sudden appearance but I wasn't surprised or shocked a little by it now.

I didn't even turn around but sat down and massaged my legs. Ugh. My foot hurts. I worked too hard.

"If you were free and didn't have anything to do, you could've be my dancing partner."

"I would rather go in a dungeon without mana."

Lucas replied. This was funny as I knew he hated dancing. He's always like this even though he's not bad at it.

"Aren't I who have to move by myself like a piece of paper pitiful?"

"Pretending you're not when you enjoyed much."

Hah, this black idiot. Why does he look disgusting? Well even though it is true I quite enjoy it! And even though I am not shameful of my dancing! But still, I! Don't need your teasing!

When I glared at him, he made a gaze as if saying 'Even though you're mad, what can you do?' and that made me angrier.

"This is frustrating. Give."

Then Lucas kneeled down in front of me and took the fancy shoe laces that were in my hands. It wasn't just once or twice so I just let him do the work.

"Why wear these high heeled shoes? You won't have much height difference with it."

"I'll grow at least taller than oppa."

What had changed during the past 6 years were me and this idiot's height difference and that he and I became unexpectedly close.

The black idiot adjusted his height seeing me grow. So he was in an appearance of a boy around 13 years old.

Mmm. Well almost 14 since it was almost my birthday.

But how talented this dude is. If there were a expert of undoing shoe laces, it would definately be him. Mmm.

"You growing taller than me with these? Funny. You short potato."

I undid my hair while he made fun of me. Then honey like light golden hair fell on my shoulders like a waterfall.

Ehehe. My hair is so pretty. My hair last life was very rough and short because I cut it due to annoyance. But my hair this life was well taken care of that it was so soft, fluffy, and silky.

It's a princess hair just from one glance! Meaning my hair is too pretty. The magic of bloodline! Thank you, Diana fairy unnie!

"Why are you so slow? Do it quick."

I stopped being happy with my hair and blamed Lucas who was undoing my last tie on my shoe lace.

The shoe I used for dancing was tied tightly so it was really hard getting it off afterwards.

"I have many things I have to do after this. Use your magic."

"You started seeing my magic as something you use for things like this, but if you keep that going I could just make these shoes disap...."

The black idiot unexpectedly stopped.

Eh. What now? he does that these days. I stared at him with closed mouth.

It was then when he threw the lace on the ground.

"You do it."

Ehh, why so angry? Is he mad because I told him to use magic on this little thing? Is it?

"I-I was just joking. Of course handsome! genius! wizard! great Lucas is the best throughout the univer...."

Snap!

But him disappearing was faster.

Sho*t! Wahh. There were only one left though!

Undoing it myself, I cursed the black idiot.
