The sun lifted from its slumber and cast its glorious rays onto the earth giving people new hope for the new day. A new day to change things, that is, even for our little heroine who is already sleeping late even though she thought she couldn't sleep yesterday.

Now, let's watch her suffering, shall we?

"Young miss! Please wake up or else we won't have much time to get you ready!" A young maid called out and tightly gripped the glass of warm milk with both hands, eyes showing urgency. (Y/N) groaned and flipped over to the other side. "Go away, I was just about to beat Shaggy." (Y/N) softly murmured, not even lifting an eye to the maids running around trying to get everything ready.

The young maid lifted her eyebrow in confusion and sighed, "Young miss, it's your birthday today." Suddenly the covers that used to be covering the young miss was flung towards the young maid as a figure got out of the bed and ran towards the other maids who were trying to figure out the best wear for the birthday girl leaving the confused maid alone to be swallowed by the blankets, at least they're warm.

The head maid was instructing group number five on how the young miss best likes her bath when she felt something tug on her dress. Looking down she saw the young miss looking up at her with a serious expression that wasn't befitting of someone her age as it made her look like an angry squirrel.

"Young miss, good morning, is there something you need?" The head made asked her and gave (Y/N) a warm smile. (Y/N) nodded, "There is, can I choose my own dress for my birthday?" (Y/N) looked up expectantly making her eyes shine. At the sight of this, the heart of the head maid was pierced by an invisible arrow.

"I-Indeed you may, young miss." The head maid stumbled on her words but eventually recovered her composer. Turning around to face the hard-working maids that were running around she clapped her hands loudly and put on a stern face.

"Everyone! The young miss has awakened!" The head maid announced. The other maids looked up from what they were doing and finally acknowledged the existence of the young miss and bowed. "Good morning, young miss." Everyone said in unison. They all stayed there, bowing, no one moving a muscle. 

(Y/N) cocked her eyebrow and huffed. Looking back up at the head maid she tugged at the hem of her dress again making the head maid look down. "Why are they just staying there, bowing?" (Y/N) asked her making the head maid amused. "They are waiting for your order to continue with their work, young miss." The head maid answered her. Nodding her head (Y/N) let go of her dress and looked back at the others. 

"You can continue with what you were doing now. Oh, and also, good morning to you too." (Y/N) smiled at them and walked towards group number five. Holding up both of her hands to a black-haired made (Y/N) made grippy hands. "Up." (Y/N) commanded, and the maid obliged.

Picking up the tiny child the maid and the other members of group five walked quickly towards the bathing quarters. Opening the big double doors revealed something resembling a pool.

'I don't think I will ever get used to this, I'm too prideful for my own good.' (Y/N) thought as the maids began to undress her. Funny how fast she got used to this. At first, she had to swallow both her pride and dignity for the sake of no one asking too many questions but now she kinda enjoyed being lazy and only having to do things when necessary. 

Finally undressed with only her undergarments on she faced the prepared bath and dipped her toe in to check the temperature and found it a good lukewarm temperature. Feeling her spirits being lifted from the anger that she was woken up and stress for the incoming day to realization, but she knew it wouldn't last long so why not enjoy it while we can, right?

Steeping down the steps she finally got to the bottom only revealing the top half of herself, not exactly something that would burn all pride that she had but still pretty bad. Slightly gulping (Y/N) walked as much as she could towards the edge closest to the five maids as they began to put shampoo on her hair and srub gently making (Y/N) feel even more relaxed, oh and the bath salts with the flowers made her feel like she was in heaven.

Closing her eyes in contempt (Y/N) sighed, "This... this is the life." (Y/N) whispered to herself only to be suddenly pulled out of the bath and onto the cold and now wet floor with a warm towel hugging her body closely thanks to the help of the blond-haired maid.

"Forgive us, young miss, but it seems we must get you out of the bath soon or else we won't have time to prepare everything for you in time." The blond-haired apologized to her and quickly dried as much as she could with the towel before leading her to a small seat with many other things on tables.

Feeling nervous (Y/N) looked up at the maid. "What are those things on the tables?" (Y/N) asked her, a bit scared. The maid looked down at her and smiled, "Those things that you see on the tables are to make sure you look even more beautiful tonight. Now, young miss, hold still please." The maid answered her. 

Looking up at the now ten people surrounding her (Y/N) felt scared as evil glints could be seen in their eyes making her gulp again.

After two dreadful hours felt with nothing but pain and despair (Y/N) finally was pulled away from their clutches and into the hand of another group, group eight. 

"Greetings to the young miss, please come with us." Said a maid with a tight and neatly done bun with eyes closed. Deciding to go with them (Y/N) entered the wardrobe that she only entered twice in fear of losing herself in the maze of bows and silk.

"Head maid Dana has informed us of your wish to choose your outfit so please excuse us for not having everything prepared." The maid told (Y/N) and nodded. "It's fine, I'm just glad she carried on with my wish." (Y/N) reassured her. Walking over to the set of clothes that seemed okay she scanned them over and occasionally touched them until one caught her eye. 

(ɪᴛ ᴄᴀɴ ʙᴇ ᴀɴʏ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ, ᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ ᴊᴜꜱᴛ ᴄʜᴀɴɢᴇ ɪᴛ. ɪᴛ'ꜱ ᴀʟʟ ᴜᴘ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ.)

Looking over at the other maids (Y/N) presented them with the already chosen outfit. "Did you pick this?" (Y/N) asked them, but they only shook their heads. "We did not, young miss. Some clothing has already been chosen to go with one another from the designer themselves, other times they just give us the clothing." The ginger-haired maid informed her. Nodding her head (Y/N) pulled the cart towards them.

"I would like to choose this outfit, please." (Y/N) politely said making the maids became taken aback before smiling happily at her. "Of course, young miss. Please, follow us." The tight bun maid smiled down at her and lead her and the others outside the wardrobe and into the room.

Walking over to the head maid the tight bun maid went up to her ear and whispered to her. The head maid's eyes stayed the same, stern, but her mouth went up into a gentle smile. Looking down at the young miss she bowed. "Anything you want, young miss."

˜"*°•.˜"*°• ---- •°*"˜.•°*"˜

Inside the rather nosy ballroom were people with high status, and there were a lot of them. Different clothing colors clashed with one another making it seem like a canvas that a child did or a canvas done by a pro, but it all depended on the person's perspective on celebrations.

Glasses were clanged against each other as people drank and drank more wine making themselves feel a bit tipsy than they should, though only a few became drunk.

Though everyone had a high status or an accomplishment worth praising for the ones with the highest status stood out like a sore thumb. 

The royal family, for instance, were being surrounded by hotty nobles trying to get on their good side by constant flattery. Then there was the GrimWald clan with only four people present in their name. Though all of them had something in common, only one person in each family actually came there for the hope of seeing the young miss, (Y/N).

Lamis repeatedly pulled down his gloves while glancing over at the grand double doors at the far end of the ballroom while somehow maintaining constant chatter with other noble kids who were mostly males. Hey, it was never too late for the young miss to break off her engagement.

"I say, Sir Lamis, I've heard that the young miss was a beauty to behold that it would even make the heavens shake, but not so much as her attitude." A noble child whose family worked with small trade smirked horribly at his grape juice and took a small sip, trying to act like an adult.

Lamis frowned at him and sighed, "Youg miss (Y/N) has a wonderful personality, you just haven't met her personally." Lamis defended her, though no one really bought it.

The sound of a trumpet was heard as the announcement of the arrival of the young resonated throughout the ballroom as heads turned towards the entrance, hoping to see the beauty that they have been promised.
