JULIETTE
I'm currently on my bed and staring intently at the gemstone. There's no doubt that this is indeed a pretty stone.
Adelle said to always wear this. But what if my dress is not suited to this accessory?
In this novel, everything must be in place. Just like how a noble dress. The suit needs to perfectly go with the accessory.
The hats, bracelets/wristbands, necklaces/chokers, dresses/gowns, boots/heels.
Especially when attending a party. The society of this novel is so horrible compared to politics back on earth.
They will brutally cut you with their judging words. So everyone in here is living to others' expectations which is really a dumb thing to do.
Although I couldn't judge their decisions for themselves. So yeah, all I need to do is don't give a f**k to them.
A knock interrupted me from my world, my room's door tilted, and my soon-to-be stepmom peak from the outside.
It is none other than Tamana de Sequin. Father is already in his late 40's but Tamana is in her mid 30's. She's very young to be exact.
A fallen count's daughter. She married my father for love, the previous Juliette is against it.
Previous Juliette is a pain in my whole being...
"Countess, what brings you here?" I politely asked.
The countess is meek, she's a very kind and gentle creature, soon she'll be a part of my family.
"I heard that you haven't had your breakfast, the duke is worrying about your health Julie." She said.
She went into my room with a tray of refreshments. A pancake, milk, strawberry juice, and hot chocolate.
Yeah, they're still treating me like a child in my age. I'm only 15 and soon in a few months, I will debut to be known in society as an adult lady.
Actually, I'm already big. My breast is full, my height is the average height of every woman. And most of all I am beautiful!
"Well, I don't have an appetite earlier." I reasoned out. The countess is afraid of me so she doesn't talk to me that much.
But don't you worry duchess, I will be very friendly to you from now on.
"Is that so? Then you have to eat now or else you might get sick again." She worriedly said. I smiled at her and cut a piece of the pancake and point it in front of her mouth. I know she hasn't eaten her breakfast too.
Because if Juliette doesn't eat, she will not.
"Mom, let's eat together," I said and I warmly smile at her. She stared at me with her eyes wide open.
"M-Mom?" She stutter, I nod and keep smiling.
"T-Then do you approve of me now?" She asked and tears begin to show up at the edge of her eyes.
I nod
She cried and hugged me, father and the countess had been engaged for 3 years now, but they couldn't get married because of the previous Juliette.
"Thank you, thank you." She repeatedly said. I patted her back to calm her down.
In a few months, I will have a cute Lil sister... I believe her name would be Primrose Airelle Fitoria, in the future, I know that she'll be a great Queen of the Aspen Kingdom in West.
Though the cute Lil child will not be considered as a real daughter of Fitoria. Because our household is known for our wealth and power.
Father has power the moment my mother died, I and my brother inherited my mother's power. But the power my father has cannot be passed to the child that the countess will bear. There's a chance and a way for the child to be considered as a child of this house. And that is if I, the current daughter of this house share my blood with the child.
2 months will be my birthday, 4 months the countess will find out that she's a week pregnant.
In two months, is the day the engagement of me and the prince will be announced. But since the engagement is annulled, I only need to worry about the banquet in the palace. The banquet will be held first before my birthday.
All ladies turning 16 or already 16 are invited to the banquet. That will be the first banquet that I will attend with the other adult people. And the most important people are there too, Adelle, Liz, Aria, and Rozvette. All of them will turn 16 after the banquet.
Our first debut into the society...
