The palace was in chaos.
Well, not the scary kind of chaos—though for me, it might as well have been. Everywhere I looked, people were running around, carrying golden drapes, fragrant flowers, and silk banners that shimmered under the chandeliers. The entire palace was turning into some grand spectacle, and all for me. Today was the day. The day Papa would introduce me to high society.
My Official Introduction Ceremony.
Sigh...
I should have been honored, but honestly? I just wanted a nap.
"Princess, it's time to get ready!" Mareille chirped excitedly as she approached my crib.
I blinked at her, still wrapped snugly in my blanket. I had been quite enjoying my day of doing absolutely nothing. My chubby arms flopped uselessly at my sides. I groaned internally. Why did they have to disturb my peace?
Nanny Scooped me in her arms, chuckling at my half-lidded eyes. "Oh dear, the princess looks like she'd rather sleep through her big day."
Yes. Yes, I would. Thank you very much.
