Chapter 1: The Banquet
Host: Ladies And Gentlemen! Lady Arielle Vahal has arrived!
The host announced. When I turn to walk inside, eyes have suddenly came popping out of nowhere, stares and gaze was the only thing I remember the moment I was inside.
As I walked by. Few men confronted in me, following with a man who's more taller than them.
Geusts
Finally, we got to see the useless forgotten daughter of this house.
Geusts
What a catch. A beauty who wear casual dress in a banquet, still what a manner.
This guy... He started bubbling nonsense... I gritted my teeth and smile.
Arielle
My, the young lord seem to misunderstood. This dress is highly popular not just as a casual clothing but fit for a banquet.
Arielle
It seem the noble lord needs more education about fluttering a woman.
After that, I left in hurry avoiding him to catch up with me.
Guests
Lady, you have a nice dress.
Arielle
Oh, my, thank you. Do you know about this dress?
Guests
Ah, yes, it's quite popular nowadays but Celene hasn't been releasing newly design so I wonder, how did you get that?
Thats true, this is the newest product but I had to get it. So, it surprise me that someone actually knows about it.
Arielle
I pester the owner for it. Because I wanted to dress up something unique in this banquet.
Guests
Oh, I shouldn't have taken your time.
Guests
Please do excuse me for my actions milady.
Then she waves around before leaving.
Geusts
Young lady, do you have a time?
Arielle
Ah, yes, please do call me Arielle.
Geusts
Thank you, I have been here for awhile, Arielle. Thought, you may not know but I your dress seem expensive for a daughter who was hardly known.
Geusts
I heard the rumors. I apologize for being blunt, I was just curious.
Arielle
*Smile* Yes, my dress was bought under many of my used dresses. Don't worry much, I have few jewels to exchange it to a dress much as like this.
Geusts
I see, but I heard that is personally made. Isn't it more expensive?
Arielle
*Stare* What are you implying? Or you are just insulting my dress?
Geusts
Opps, I apologize again. Even though you use up everything in your room, you couldn't possibly buy such good dress without any allowance.
Geusts
*Looks And Grin* Maybe you stole it?
I know it. No matter who, in this room, no one see my perspective. This kind of environment is disgusting but the truth. As I usually disguised myself to attend business meetings, people always compliments me and my works but now, they are all scums.
Arielle
*Smile* Thought, I have no allowance of my own, the duke still gives me things prior to my needs. How dare you insult a daughter of this house!?
Geusts
Hmm, I see, an arrogant manner. No wonder.
Arielle
You better shut up, as I can still maintain a proper posture and if possible I'll dismiss myself.
I left without hearing what he had to say next.
The next thing I know, I was seating in a chair where no one can reach. The second floor is often limited so only few comes by.
Sudden. *Pinch* I hear a loud disapproving voice echoing down my spine and when I look. That ********** is in front of me, wearing her disgusting overly nuded dress that makes me boil.
How dare she disgrace the family even in the eye of public!
Duchess Vahal
My, if it isn't the useless, arrogant bitch... Hmm, did you steal this overrated and ugly dress? It's not even fit for a banquet.
Arielle
Ah, duchess. So, you mean your wearing more decent than mine? Have a dignity for once you lowly **********... I'm embarrassed to call you mother or even the lady of this house...
Duchess Vahal
Y-you! *Grabs my shoulders* You think you have a name in this house because you reach 18! How dare you look down on me, the duchess of this house!
Arielle
Ah? Hmm, hahahaha, this little... *Push her* You maybe the duchess, but you don't know who am I.
Attention was on us now. Everyone was looking at the scene as if they we're watching a theater act that seem so interesting. When I look, I found my father beside me so I bow.
Arielle
Fathe------ *Slaps*
Instead of talking, I was greeted by a cold flesh of his sharp skin that was slapped on my face. I feared it that way, but to show it on my birthday that I worth nothing made me no regrets upon leaving this place.
Duke Vahal
How dare you make ruckus on your own birthday party!?
Arielle
Father... Your Grace, I apologize for the ruckus.
Duke Vahal
Hmm, apologize to you mother.
Arielle
I will not be your obedient daughter anymore.
