Chapter 83

Nash was getting her hair done at the time. Her hair was curled at the ends, and she had window bangs. Her top hair was in a bun, and the rest of her hair hung down to her waist.

"Is it still not finished?"

"Not yet, princess," The maids make sure that her hair will be perfect like her dress.

Nash sighed, 'I wonder if Katherine will come...'

After Nash had woken up, Katherine had never visited her. Nash had been waiting for her since then, but no Katherine visited her.

'I guess telling her I despise her is too much?'

"Your highness, your hair is done." She got to her feet and walked over to the full-body mirror. Her gown was a vibrant mix of crimson, black, white, and gold. Her clothing is largely made up of dark colors.

"You look lovely, Princess." Her appearance was appreciated by the servants.

"Woah I look thin," She said, "Look my collar bones are showing."

"That's sexy, Your Highness," chuckled the maids.

"Really? How's my face? Is it pretty?"

"Yes! Even though your make-up is light, the beauty in your face shines through!"

Nash laughed, "You're all good at giving compliments, huh?"

A knock surrounded the room and Vernon's voice was heard, "Your Highness, It's time to go now."

"I'll be there!"

The servants made one more adjustment to her gown and escorted her outdoors.

Vernon was waiting outside, and when he spotted the princess, he extended his hand and said, "Please let me lead you, your highness."

"Thank you, Sir Butler."

"You look wonderfully gorgeous, Princess."

"Is that even a word?"

"There's no such word to describe your beauty, your highness."

"HAHAHAHA really? It's fortunate that I don't feel uncomfortable in my dress." she said as she held her dress.

'Aunt Millicent is the best.'

As they got near the door, there she saw her family waiting for her. "Do you think Mother and Father's crowns are heavy?"

"I believe so,"

"I'm glad mother's crown isn't as big as father's, if mother would wear such a crown, her head won't take it. It looks almost as big as her face don't you think, sir butler?"

"I think so, too," Vernon suppresses his laughter especially since they're almost in front of them.

"How long will you walk?" Vincenzo asked, annoyed.

Nash let go of her hand and approached her brother.

"Praise me first," Nash grinned.

"You look strange," Daniel commented to her sister, who was dressed up for the first time for a ball.

"Tsk. I said praise me not criticize,"

"It's a compliment," Daniel said, grinning.

"Let's go now,"

Nash was about to follow them when she realized something, "AH! I forgot my partner!"

"What?!" Celeste exclaimed.

"I'll be back! You go first!" Nash dashed away from her family.

"We have to enter altogether!" Celeste exclaimed, causing Nash to pause and smile back.

"That's fine! Heroes always arrive late!"

"You're not a hero!" Daniel yelled,

"Then... the main character always arrives late!" Nash dashed and looked for her partner. She asked for the maids and saw him eating in the kitchen. "Really? Eating at this time?"

Meanwhile...

"The Imperial Family will enter!" All of the guests have become silent as they await the arrival of the Imperial Family.

The visitors greeted them as soon as they sat on their thrones.

"Glory to the Imperial Family," they say as they bow in respect.

"Why is there one extra chair? Does this imply that His Majesty has another child?"

"Aren't those rumors from the knights?"

"What if it's true?"

"Must be an illegitimate child, how hideous."

The noble visitors kept whispering, as if the Imperial Family couldn't hear them.

"Maybe we should stitch their mouths," Daniel said.

"Why don't you just cut their tongue?" Vincenzo said.

"Stop that, both of you." Ivelisse said, "Hon, kill them"

"Mother!" Celeste whispered, "Hang them."

Nash, on the other hand, was already panting in front of the door after running back with his partner.

"Let's go, Dopey"

Without the guard knowing, Nash opened the huge door with her gravitational power. All the guests were waiting for someone to walk out, and Nash strode out with elegance, her head held high, and Dopey walked beside him with his modest crown on.

As murmurs began to fill the hall, the noble guests' eyes widened. Nash sat next to her older brother Vincenzo, while the twins sat on the other side, next to Ivelisse. Dopey sat beside Nash.

"So this is what a ball looks like..." Nash said, "Too bright. I hate it."

Vincenzo looked at her, "Of course it will be bright, it's a party"

"I'm just giving my comments, you always criticize every statement I make."

"That's because you're dumb."

"And you as well."

All of a sudden Ivelisse and Roven rose up followed by the twins and Vincenzo, leaving Nash seated.

Vincenzo looked back, "Stand up!"

"But I was just seated," Nash grumbled as he followed them. Dopey even followed her.

"This celebration is for the war's success, but I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to my youngest daughter, Nashtassia Freya Marqueza. There are several reasons why you are only now learning of her existence, one of them is because she was unwell and feeble as a child."

Nash bit her lower lips, 'It's true that I'm weak, but I only got thus after losing control of my demon. It seemed like all of my strength had been sucked up, and I've been lying on my bed for three days.'

"Your Majesty, may I ask a question?" It was a Marquis. "Is she the one whom the entire empire believed dead when the Empress gave birth?"

"SHE?" Vincenzo exclaimed. The Marques flinched and immediately took back what he said.

"I mean the Imperial Princess, please accept my apologies for being impolite," he bowed.

"Oh, what a protective brother," Nash teased her brother.

"Shut up,"

"Yes, she is. The reason she lives is because I made her the other vessel of my demon, Raum."

"Hey Raum, You just got a special mention from my father."

"Thanks, I guess?"

The whispering grew loud,

"Does it mean she's the reason the war started in the first place?"

"Tsk. Why did she have to live?" A noblewoman stated.

"Yeah right, why did she have to live, huh?" A lady in blue said loudly, staring at the aristocrats who were discussing it.

"That witch is here? I've been waiting for her since an hour ago," Nash whispered.

"Is that what I heard, huh, lady?" Katherine asked, her right brows are lifted showing her bitch attitude.

Nash smirked, 'I thought you won't come.'

After getting flustered, the noble ladies are unable to speak. Everyone in the room is staring at them.

"Isn't that Lady Yeona?" Celeste whispered.

"The one who's eliminated as brother's fiance?" Daniel asked.

"It's her," Nash confirms. Nash grinned and turned to face her father, saying, "May I go see my friend, father?"

"There she goes..." Daniel said.

"Do what you want," Roven said,

"Thank you,"

'Lady Yeona, huh? It was nice to see you again.'

Nash walked towards where Katherine is along with Lady Yeona.

"Hello there, Lady," Nash said with an evil smile.
