Chapter 09

"Miss, you look fantastic."

I examined my reflection on the mirror. Tracing my jawline with my pointy acrylic nails and looking deep into my eyes.

A year ago, I was a child who was kidnapped by a demon which killed my parents. Now, I had grown up with them for sometime.

Two years later, I would marry all of them and bear with their children.

"Y/N, you look amazing."

I saw the Sisters' reflections on the mirror before them curtsied to me.

They told me it was a tradition in here that the future queen's debutante ball would consisted of married men, women and princess of all over the Inferno.

"No, bachelor?"

"No bachelor. Since our Father's reign, he forbade unmarried man to come to the future queen's debutante ball."

"Yeah. He didn't want the future queen's to have an affair and bear with someone's child and state that it was the King's offspring."

"Has it ever happened?"

"No, it was just a prevention act."

Joy lent out her hand as I held it and was guides to a full body mirror.

"You're look like a promising queen, Y/N."

Seulgi said as I watched my appearance. From my tiara to my heels.

I didn't ask a lot for my hairstyle. Just a simple tight updo with few stray strands framed my face.

But, they decorated it with a lot of massive ornaments to make it look splendid. But, it didn't feel heavy at all, almost weightless.

"It's a pity you celebrate your debutante when you're sixteen."

"Yeah, it's supposed to be when you're fifteen. But, our brothers were just..."

Yeri shook her head in slow manner as Irene just shrugged her words off from our talk.

I heard a knock on the door and told him knock it to come in. He walked into my chamber as the other maids and butlers bowed before him.

"You look beautiful."

"Thank you, Jeno."

Jeno was here because he would be my first dance after he had won the lottery.

He dressed up in a velvet navy suit with black shirt and oxford shoes. His hairs were parted to the left and he had a bouquet of blue roses on his left hand.

He looked bashful based on my judgement of his pretty disheveled hair and unfastened tie hanging around his neck.

He gave me the bouquet as I replied his action by giving him a reluctant kiss on the cheek. Receiving few 'ooh's from the Sisters.

"You don't need to give me these."

I said as he brushed if off and replied.

"It's not my gift. It's just something to congratulate you, that's it."

He held out his hand as I received it and placed down the roses on the vanity table as Jeno led me to the ballroom.

"They don't know whom did we invite, right?"

"They will know, Irene. Let's just wait for that."

Wendy replied as she had her smile graced her proud face and glistening eyes under the shine of the moonlight.

Knowing that tonight would be an unforgettable for Y/N and the Princes.

∆∆∆

Y/N was looking amazing as her snowy hairs cascaded her heart shaped face and her Cupid's bows made her smile more noticeable than most of people.

It did make me melted a bit.

Her petite hand was grasped mine as I escorted her to be seen by the public. Declaring her as the 'Seno de Beuna Cwæn æf Inferno'.

Being her first dance was giving me the happiness I never understood but desired the most.

Having her to be under my touch, grasping her body over mine and got to be the first one to have the biggest honour as a prince.

After three official songs of the empire- which were 'Inferno's Anthem', 'Summer Night of Hänsen', and 'Vividilia d'Lacord'- we parted and changed partner.

My next dance partner was Irene. She smiled and praised me for able to make the first move and act like a male dove.

"It doesn't sound comforting, sister."

I replied as she smiled it away.

"So does have the Duke of Corteoa as my husband. But, it does feel comforting, Jeno."

She smiled as she led me out from the middle of the room to the stairs.

I was confused what kind of joke she pulled out and it was-

"If through action and kindness could not be able to attract her. Your sister has another card under her sleeve."

Amortentia.

I knew Irene was infatuated to make both Y/N and I as a couple since the first day. But, she was obsessed with that.

"You don't have to. Just take it and use when you need it. Your sister will always have your back, little brother."

She said as she planted a light kiss on my forehead before leaving me out to find her husband.

I sat down on the end step of the stairs. Watching the magenta-colored liquid swirling around in the heart-shaped diamond bottle.

While hearing the low tune of murmurs and quiet laughs of others. I was still thinking about what has become of me.

Y/N was here because of Ten. She was pretty adaptable and a person that I would always call as 'the royalty's pet'.

∆∆∆

"This is going to be so fun."

I was enjoying the party of this empire soon-to-be queen while sipping five-hundreds-years-old wine.

"I guess my appearance will take the spotlight of the host, huh?"

I smiled as I could feel the breeze of Three Worlds War will start because of this girl.

"Future Queen Y/N, good luck."
