Like many of the parties Asha attended, she had to get up very early before sunrise. Because there was a lot of preparation that the servants had to do to him to look beautiful, but of course for him everything was torture because from morning to evening he had to get ready just for the party.
"Grace, should we wait for Ian, Dain and Ehan? or are they waiting for us?" asha asked with a curious look as the three men did not stay over at the Edelstein mansion
"I'm according to a letter from Ian, they'll go and get to the party first,"
"They said they would wait for us when the party started so we didn't have to leave the mansion at the same time or wait for each other" said Grace who while tying Asha's long hair coolly, then answered a nod of understanding by Asha who had known the current situation
Seen as the long journey to beauty is finally completed, Asha feels really relieved when Grace has finished tying her hair in a style newly learned by Grace while in her residence.
Both Asha's parents had left first because they had a joint meeting with the royal family regarding state funding for the festival to be held after the prince's feast. A huge festival where both the main cast members would walk together until the end of the festival, and their feelings were each developing.
According to Asha it is a very happy festival because it is known for a festival full of romance, and the addition of one romance story at the festival makes it very much looking forward to, even if he wasn't at the festival. But that's for a long-standing story because now it's the prince's birthday party.
"We think you've been here a long time,"
"Because we recently heard that there are a lot of bandits near the Edelstein area, but it doesn't seem like that much?" dain said as he looked down at Asha and Grace to make sure they were okay on their way to the palace
"We use teleportation so it's safe and we don't spend a lot of time" Grace said, breaking the concerns of men seen from the face
After having a casual chat before entering the hall, Asha and her friends entered the party hall which could be as large as almost a lake near the Edelstein mansion. Of course also with guests who could reach thousands inside the hall, it would not be surprising if it happened because all the nobles in the mandatory attendance to this party.
All the gazes of the guests were on those who entered the hall, waiting for the mistakes of those people or waiting for the male and female figure of the dream, he said, but it was clear that everything was a piercing glare judging how worthy the sons and daughters of the Duke family were to be the next heirs.
Asha and her friends looked for a corner of the room to relax and move away from the crowd of nobles who would soon be approaching towards the five of them.
"Did they lack the work of staring at all of us from the moment they entered the room?"
"It's not that you know that this place is a place where all nobles are looking for opportunities to find relationships or factions that can benefit them,"
"And we are very influential people in this kingdom because almost all sectors in this kingdom come from our family," said Dain with a long sigh because he finally managed to sit on the chair after a long time standing
It was not long before a servant in front of them was treated harshly by a noble man. None of the people who had noticed them had ever helped the girl, as if testing potential heirs to deal with this matter. Dain and Ian won't help at all because they're not experts at using violence, Asha and Grace were not helpful because they were wearing quite heavy dresses and had to behave like elegant noble women, if they entered into the quarrel they both would probably die without the help of the nobles who were eagerly watching them. The only person who could help the servant was Ehan, because he met all the qualifications of the four, which he did not have, it was also what started the story of this novel where the female lead was helped by the male lead.
"Sir, can't you see that this waiter doesn't like it or doesn't want it,"
"But you forced him to resort to violence instead" Ehan said with a cold gaze and murderous aura towards the man who almost slapped the servant, making the man sit in front of many people
Ehan quickly took the servant to a balcony, not sure what the two of them were talking about but it was quite clear that everything was going according to the contents of the current novel. This makes Asha quite relieved because everything goes according to the contents but without her interfering because Ehan is helping the girl.
Not long after, Ehan returned to the party hall to approach Asha and the others. Grace who saw Ehan back, was so curious what he was talking about with the maid that it was so short. Various questions directly in the rain right by Grace that makes Asha, Dain and Ian can only watch, but before Ehan answers the questions in the rain right by Grace.
The owner of the ball tonight has arrived at the hall room along with a couple who are the owners of this great kingdom, instantly everyone immediately bowed respectfully to them until they finally reached the chair provided. When the couple sat down, everyone who looked down respectfully was allowed to finish paying their respects. It seems that one by one people began to pay their respects and give gifts to the sons of the owners of this kingdom who are birthday.
Asha and her friends who were in the distance, could not see clearly who the prince who was on his birthday was. But since everyone was required to pay their respects and give gifts then they were not too curious about the prince, because in the end they would see him during the gift giving, plus it was an unwritten public secret carried out by the nobles present.
"Asha, you should know that he said that this birthday prince was the first time he showed himself in front of everyone,"
"There is a rumor that says that he is a very charming man and Tampa must be hidden by the kingdom,"
"You're talking nonsense, right?"
