"Well, I think I've heard of it."

Shananet nodded at what her father said.

Seeing him sighing quietly, Gallahan seems to know about it.

"The Imperial debutante ball is definitely different from other debuts. In addition to the fact that the host is the Imperial family, the number of people who can participate is limited to less than ten, and the participants are invited by the royal family strictly, not first-come, first-served basis."

"Yes Shananet, you made your debut there."

As grandfather spoke, Shananet's face turned slightly red.

"But as I said a while ago, it's a debut that is as demanding as it is. If you want Tia to make the most spectacular and high-profile debut, there's no better chance than an Imperial ball."

As for advice from someone who dominated the high society, it will be extremely beneficial to debut there.

And Shananet is right.

In the Empire, there are several debutante balls hosted by noble ladies who are one place in society.

But the highest peak was the Imperial debutante ball no matter what anyone said.

Girls who officially debut in society there are in different starting lines from others.

The method of selection was different.

That year, anyone who wanted to participate in the Imperial debutante ball had to write a letter with their own introduction and send it to the organizer.

There was nothing else that people and families who wanted to participate could do.

Just wait to be chosen.

Girls from high-ranking noble families were often chosen, but not always.

Sometimes, it was selected because of their pretty heart in the letter, or because it was a family that was not very powerful but had a long history.

The number of participants also varies from time to time.

Sometimes, it was a full 10 people, and if there were no sufficient applicants, they would not hold a debutante ball at all.

Under these circumstances, everyone is paying keen attention to whom makes their debut at the Imperial ball every year.

"It's a perfect debut for Tia. It should be that much, yes."

Grandfather said with a satisfied smile.

"I've never seen an Imperial debutante ball before!"

"I'll definitely go on Tia's debut day!"

The twins also drank a lot of kimchi soup. (Well it's not Korean kingdom, but idk the hangeul text is kimchi.)2

Well, I don't want to dampen their spirits.

But someone had to tell them the reality.

"I don't think everyone knows."

I got their attention and everyone around the table looked at me.

"The Imperial debutante ball is in the next two months, right? Then wouldn't the application be closed a long time ago?"

Since I'm doing it, I want to properly brand my face to everyone at my debut.

"This year's contestants haven't been announced yet but it's probably too late. And even if there's still a deadline I can't guarantee that I'll be chosen."

But their reactions are unexpected.

Everyone just stared at me without saying a word.

"Why are you all... Looking at me like that...?"

"You might be chosen."

Gilliu said tilting his head.

"That's right, it'll work."

Mayron replied.

"Because."

"It's Tia."

What?

I was expecting a proper reason from the twins...

"Maybe it will."

"Wouldn't they accept it?"

Even my grandfather and father joined.

I looked at Shananet as if saying 'Please explain to these people'.

"If you write and send a letter saying you want to participate."

No, not even Shananet!

However, even Shananet's ears are fluttering a little.

"... Re- really?."

Then Shananet replied with a small smile.

"Because you're a Lombardy."

Oh, right.

Slightly dazed by such a simple and clear answer, Shananet gently explained to me.

"On the Imperial side, Lombardy's little girl's pride would be hurt if she made her debut elsewhere. Don't worry and send a letter."

I somehow trust whatever Shananet says.

I nodded with a little doubt, though.

"

I shouldn't have sent it. I shouldn't have. Oh, I'm embarrassed..."

It has been two weeks since I sent a letter to the organizer of the Imperial Debutante Ball.

But there has been no contact from them.

I trusted Shananet and wrote every word with all my heart!

"Don't be too disappointed, just wait a little longer."

Louryl comforted me, sprawling on the table in shame.

"No, I think it's already wrong..."

But that's too much.

Have they read it? Have they?

I'm miserable.

As I was soaking my tears on the table, I heard a knock on the door.

"Ms. Florentia, it's the butler."

"Heuk! Come in..."

The butler of the annex, who opened the door carefully, bowed politely once and said, sticking out what was in his hand.

"A letter from the Palace to Miss Florentia..."

Hurry up!

I ran quickly in front of him and received the letter.

The envelope containing the letter was not gold used by the Emperor, nor purple used by the Empress, or pink used by Perez.

It was my first time seeing a neat, brown envelope.
