A Demon Duchess
25. debutante party

....

The Astrantia Kingdom that just a few months ago had experienced nothing to wear at the wedding of their King and Queen is now back in the crowd with the appearance of someone with red eyes and silver hair nya.

True Altheana lunar de Amaryllis daughter of Duke Amaryllis which is now a ubiquitous conversation.

"He's a dark magic user!"

"That guy must be a monster!"

"Say he messed up count marrygold's birthday pests and froze the guards."

"The monster!"

"Devil!"

....

"Is this enough, Lady?" Lucas asked as he handed the newspaper the news of 'daughter of Duke Amaryllis possessed by demons' Althea laughed at the news.

"Hahahah in Rasuki said," Althea said amid her laughter. "Ehemk.. No riding laughing at the hard work of the Lady," said Lucas who was also holding back his laughter.

"Indeed disrespectful but I was also curious, at that time Lady said the genetics of the late Duchess but I needed a more detailed explanation." Althea smiled at Lucas' curiosity.

"You know you're gonna die if you betray my trust, right?" Althea asked while activating her demonic mode. Lucas swallows his salivary feeling fear, but he nods his ass.

"My mother is not human." Hearing the words of Althea Lucas round his eyes in shock. "It's more accurate that my mother is from the demon race and because my father is human so it can be said that I am half human and half demon, creatures like me are usually called half Devil." Lucas still digested all of Althea's words.

Demon race? So besides humans there are other races? So all this time Duke Amaryllis had a wife who was not human, so the Lady he had been serving was not a full human?

If you look at the mass then the explanation of Althea is quite reasonable considering which noble lady dares to keep a white tiger that is so savage. But all this time Lucas thought Althea's taste was just a little unique but asked far from what he imagined.

"Why are you laughing at this news? Because you're not in Rasuki but really the Devil Race?" Althea nodded. "That's right," Lucas said.

"So, does Alvaro know I'm back?" Althea asked, Lucas immediately put on a serious face. "From my observation, his Majesty has not been aware of the coming of the Lady, as I have clearly seen lately that the noble is still busy with matters of the kingdom." Althea Nodded in understanding. "Isn't it more fun to add trouble to a busy person?" Althea. "Lady's right, must be a lot of fun."

In the middle of their conversation Lucas issued an invitation with a royal stamp. "Sealed and at Lady's request" Lucas said as he handed the invitation to Althea.

"Thank you, you can count on."

...

A few days before the debutante of the Lady who has prepared themselves as well as possible to look beautiful and perfect on the day of maturity.

Debutante is a debut party held for the upper class Lady who has entered adulthood is above 18 years old, after passing the debutante of the Lady in an adult and can debut in the top association.

This debutante is also very special because Irene the queen of astrantia officially passed her adulthood. Should before crowned as queen, the Crown Princess must first pass the debutante and Althea herself will pass her debutante in this season.

The underscore! His second condition is special! In the middle of the crowd, Althea confidently came out among the crowd and showed her demonic side.

"Again from the beginning I was the antagonist is not a problem if you continue the role." Those are the words that Althea used to say when Anne and some of her subordinates were worried about Althea.

Rumors about Lady Amaryllis continue to spread like oxygen, easily now all astrantia already know the rumors. Many nicknames that Althea got after the rumor spread.

Demons, monsters, Lady psychopaths, ice witches, winter roses, the rose sword and many more. Althea could only be proud of those nicknames.

main market of the capital city Astrantia.

"Miss, are you sure you want to order a dress there? I can get a designer to come to the mansion" Anne said. "That's too suspicious of Anne, after all there's no famous designer who's not busy at a time like this." The problem is that the two of them are now looking for the house of a designer who is not even known, to the point of having to pass through a narrow alley.

"Hey boy! Quickly pay off your father's debts!!" The voice came from the corner of the alley, the beginning of which Althea was only indifferent but over time the rude words of the people made Althea very uncomfortable.

Althea walked up to them, two grown men with big bodies and a skinny little boy who was being knocked down in fear.

"N-miss as good as we don't interfere." Just now Anne said so, as the hand of one of the adult men preparing to beat the little boy Althea had already frozen half of the man's body.

"Whoa-this, I can't move!" The other man turned around and saw Althea whose eyes were shining brightly even during the day. The man fell down so much he trembled to see Althea. "Your ugly voice is bothering me" said Althea coldly.

"How much does the kid owe?" Althea asked, instead of answering the man who had just frozen Althea instead trembling, "monster!" Said the insolent man. Althea turned her eyeballs lazily, she plucked out one of the gems that were on her shirt. "The price of this gem is enough for you to go far away from the astrantia." The man shuddered in horror with Althea's words.

Althea melted the man's ice and let him escape, while Anne helped the little boy. "Are you okay?" Ask Anne. "N-miss, t-thank you," said the little boy to Althea, stammering with fear.

Althea blinked her eyes several times and went ahead of Anne, Anne took out a heart filled with gold coins that she was carrying. The child's eyes sparkled and was very grateful, he did not know that the Lady who helped him was a person who was being crowded into community talk. But now he believes the Lady with the rumors is not a bad person.

Anne ran small to match her steps with Althea she smiled sweetly. "Winning doesn't change" he thought.

....

The night before debutante.

"You should have knocked on the door before Felix came in" Althea said, causing Felix to panic. "Pardon me, I was just thinking of seeing you soon." Althea did not respond to Felix's words. Felix approached Althea and sat down next to her.

"You sure you don't want to go with me tomorrow? It would be more interesting if suddenly the missing Lady came along with the Imperial crown prince right?"

"I just don't want the bre***k to think I got my revenge by tarnishing the crown prince of the Empire,"

"Are you afraid she's jealous?"

"No, I just want to depend on any man." Hearing the words of Althea Felix made a disappointed face.

...

Finally came the time for the celebration of the debutante of the Lady which took place at the Queen's Palace. The Lady look very ready to welcome their debutante.

Hoping after that day they can achieve the dream they have long dreamed, but unfortunately they are not so lucky to get a beautiful debutante.

The Lady entered the ball room one by one, gems decorated dresses, hairstyles that varied shoes and sparkling accessories as well as makeup that signified that they had worked hard to prepare all this.

"The Lady this time is very unlucky" Althea said in her heart. Althea walked in the palace Corridor leisurely.

The debutante party is about to start, the main cast today is ready to become a star. Today's true lead is Irene de Astrantia.

With confidence Althea walked towards the ball room, even before the guards opened the door easily Althea opened the big door with her magic.

All eyes were fixed on her, her silver hair that was beautifully scattered gleamed in the bright lights of the palace. The unique dress that combines between the knight uniform yet has subordinates like a fluffy dress, dark purple colors and a sprinkling of gems worthy of her starry night sky makes her shine even more.

Slowly the guests present there began to move away from the red-eyed girl. The sense of threat and fear they feel is like seeing a savage predator who is ready to attack at any time.

"M-monster," said one of the frightened Lady, the small trembling voice caught Althea's attention. Althea smiled obliquely turned out to be quite pleasant standing with percays of her self without fear of her great secret being exposed.

"Congratulations to your debutante Lady, as if you were too surprised by my new appearance." Hearing Althea's extremely cold voice made the entire room shudder in horror. "Why? I just want to attend my debutante, am I interrupting?" Althea asked one of the Lady.

"N-no," the Lady replied in a very small voice. He bowed down not daring to look at Althea, Althea pointed her hand towards the Lady Lady was very frightened but it turned out that Althea had only given her a piece of ice roses belonging to her.

"Call me as many monsters as you want, because I am a monster! I'm the devil."

...

A few minutes later Irene and a few of the ladies who followed her walked towards the ball room. "Your Majesty will be the most beautiful woman tonight" said one of the servants. "Of course, Her Majesty the Queen is the lead today, her majesty doesn't even need to wear any makeup that noble is already very beautiful." Irene blushed to hear the praise for the praise that was thrown by the ladies.

Right after this he will truly feel in his adulthood and the power of the Queen is absolutely his.

"W-what happened?" One of the ladies was shocked to see the scene in front of them.

The guards lay in front of the wide open door, the atmosphere was very chaotic and messy, the ball room was like a lake that froze in winter.

The Lady had left, there was only one person left with a robe embroidered with the coat of arms of one of the families.

Silver hair that is very familiar in Irene's eyes, upright posture that is graceful and bold at the same time very scary and makes the hair goosebumps.

Althea turned her body upside down, the icy rose vines emerging from below formed a small path that surrounded the beautiful rose.

"Congratulations on your debutante, Her Majesty the Queen."

Note author :

*debutante: a party named to inaugurate the adult age of a Lady and inaugurate the Lady into social association.

*why is the magic form of Althea rose? his family is Amaryllis.

actually there is no specific reason but the rose symbolizes love, purity and courage depending on its color and the rose is thorny so I think it fits the character of Althea who has many life problems.

*why is Irene not a debutante already a queen?

because the position of the kingdom is in a critical period, but Irene also not given full authority can be said before the debutante is only a display and the duties of the Queen in the work of Alvaro.

*why is Althea allowed to participate in state affairs even before debutante but Irene is not allowed?

because Althea studied directly in the guidance of the previous Queen so it is considered to have understood and understood the affairs of the state.

until then yes!

see you next chapter!
