Chapter 20
We sat in the same order as we came. Theressa alone in front, and Paul and me on the opposite side.
Paul is a sensitive psycho so I should pamper him this much... for safety issues.
Almost half an hour after our departure, we arrived at the Main Palace. Our family, escorted by two Royal knights, was guided to the Royal Ball Room.
The door was opened by two Royal guards that were placed to the sides. Then, as we made our way inside, a man with a loud prominent voice announced our names one by one. Going from our parents, to Paul, next was Theressa and lastly me. I found strange the order in which I was announced because I am the eldest daughter. I mean... if we use common sense, the eldest should be announced first, right? Like... I was born first... I’ve been here longer... Not really "me" but they don’t know about that.
But, I’m guessing that maybe there was a reason like... the one who is late on her debut should go last...?..... Society is sh** no matter the world you are in after all...
"Lady Marianne Elise Sylfinnier!" — Announced the man once my turn came.
’Oh? Elise? We have similar names~’
This bit of new information made me happy in a silly way, but somehow, it felt pleasant to have a second name similar to my original one.
Following my family who was going down the stairs, I finally could take in the sight of the Hall where the Royal Spring Ball was being held.
’... Woah... You could actually say the place is made of gold...’
It was majestic. There must have been a million candles lit up because the place was very bright.
Taking into account that outside was already getting dark and lamps still haven’t been invented yet here... the yellow light emitted by the countless candles made the Room seem golden.
