Stella was taken aback by the unexpected invitation. She knew they would meet again, perhaps at the upcoming royal Ball, but she never anticipated this sudden opportunity. Whatever the reason, she was overjoyed.
"T-Tomorrow?"
Ariana smiled, seeing Stella, who was looking at her with such sparkling eyes at that time. This is the first time she meets someone who doesn't seem to have any prejudice against her.
'She is really easy to read, just like an open book.'
"Yes, tomorrow. If you agree to become my lady in waiting, I will prepare the document. But even if you refuse, it doesn't mean we can't be friends. I truly want to be friends with you, Stella." Ariana's words were a testament to her determination to bridge the gap in their social status and form a genuine friendship.
Stella's voice trembled with surprise, her heart racing with unexpected joy at the thought of becoming a lady in waiting. The idea was both thrilling and daunting, but she was determined to accept.
