The Debutantes Ball (part 08)

Maely's point of view:

The debutante ball continued peacefully and everyone enjoyed the occasion.

Sitting at one of the tables with two other friends, we chatted to pass the time.

"We're all here, why hasn't the hostess arrived yet?" Asked one of them.

"Remember where you are and be patient, this is not uncommon and this is not the first time it will happen" Countered the other.

Oscar, who had complained about the delay, let out a cold huff and continued to enjoy his drink in silence.

I preferred not to comment on the matter, it was known that the host of the event only appeared after a stipulated time, giving space for everyone to feel relaxed and familiar with the environment.

It had been two years since I first saw the Young Lady of the Aires Family at a mid-range restaurant in Marva.

Looking back on that event I could only scoff at myself for my indiscipline and arrogance at the time.

About an hour passed and everyone was talking to each other, it wasn't often that we were able to form connections with the young heirs of the other kingdoms.

It didn't take long for us to feel the silence when everyone turned their eyes towards the main stage and there we saw a beautiful young woman dressed in white and gold and with her long black hair cascading down her back.

To her right and left, we could see the current Matriarch and her main confidant following behind.

"She really is beautiful" Muttered Logan, my other friend who was at my side. "And her bearing is also extraordinary"

"I agree with you" I agreed by nodding lightly.

I saw her approach the center of the stage in light, with firm and unhurried passes, arriving at the center and facing everyone present she sketched a slight smile on her cherry lips and said lightly, in a pleasant tone to hear.

"Once again, I thank everyone here at the invitation of the Aires Family, they all traveled from afar and I hope you enjoy the event planned by us"

"This is the first time that the Aires have opened their doors and prepared an event of such magnitude for the members of the other five kingdoms and with that, we hope to strengthen our ties and create new cooperations in the future"

"I won't take much of your time, everyone, make yourself comfortable!"

After his short speech we showed our thanks and gifts representing those behind us and after that, the party went on smoothly.

Soft music reverberated through the hall and soon the dancing began.
