Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 42
The guests entered Ariadne’s debutante ball and expressed astonishment at the interior decor, which resembled a fairy gathering in a grove. Outside-hired musicians played sweet melodies live without pause, making the ballroom feel like another world entirely.
And Alfonso, uncharacteristically early for a guest of honor, greeted his debutante partner—who looked like a queen of fairies—in the waiting room beside the main hall with an expression of wonder. Ariadne, glowing softly from head to toe, exuded such grace that it was hard to believe she was a young lady making her debutante ball debut.
“You’re truly beautiful—elegant as Queen Guinevere from legend.”
Ariadne, who usually ignored the flattery from Sancha and the maids, blushed slightly this time.
“Don’t say things you don’t mean.”
“No, really—you are beautiful.”
Their brief reunion was interrupted by an uninvited guest. Zanobi, as her “debutante partner,” strode into the waiting room with an air of arrogance, there to escort the debutante of the evening.
“What is this?”
Zanobi’s confrontational tone filled the room. Having assumed he alone would be the debutante partner, Zanobi had dressed entirely in white. The moment he entered, he scanned around and, spotting Prince Alfonso—who was also dressed in white—immediately picked a quarrel.
“Where’d you drag in this half-faced gigolo looking fellow from?”
His hostility from the very first meeting was palpable.
“You know a man’s worth lies in ability, right? With a handsome knight like your older brother around, who on earth are you glancing at with those wandering eyes?”
Though phrased as a joke, the words carried sharp barbs and deep-seated insecurity. Zanobi, unable to bear the feeling of being diminished, unconsciously lashed out at others to soothe his bruised ego. His small eyes swept the room and landed on Ariadne’s attire. Though Ariadne looked stunningly beautiful that day, Zanobi pointed out something else entirely.
“Hey, didn’t your older brother tell you not to wear tall shoes?”
Ariadne had worn heels about two and a half ditos high (roughly 9 centimeters) to better showcase her dress’s train.
