My Sister the Heroine, and I the Villainess - 09 - Tiger Translations

We were now halfway into the party, and had completed our round of greetings. Generally, we went around to greet father’s acquaintances and those people he wished to show me to, of which there were now none.

In fact, the real purpose of this ball was not so much to introduce small children like myself, but to be the social debut of young ladies and gentlemen who had turned 14.

In fact, there really was not much for either I or father to do. A person who turns 14 basically has two options, enrolling as a fourth-year student at the Royal Academy or directly debuting into society.

Percentage-wise, boys usually went to the Academy and girls tended to be debuted, but according to my knowledge of my past life in Labyrinth Destiny, both I and Mishuly are to attend the Academy.

Well, who cares about that future. As a genius, I was sure to be admitted as a top student and I would graduate as a top student. But the present was what was important.

My current state could be expressed in a single word.

Tired.

Well, it was not surprising. It was hard. it was manual labor. This continuing of all the moves required to be the perfect lady. And I was only seven years old.

I was able to bear the stress of this physical fatigue, but I did have my limits.

Alright, I decided.

I was going to leave.

I had already finished my round of greetings to the adults. My role as part of this ball was pretty much finished. It should not be a problem if I snuck out.

I would throw off this princess disguise in a place where no one was looking and stretch my legs. As long as nobody saw me, it would be nothing.

I made a quick scan of my surroundings in order to gain that moment of rest.

There were many thick groups of young ladies and gentlemen who had achieved their societal debuts tonight. As for the children of my own age, well, it seemed that they were not being left alone either.

They were all close to a parent instead of being in a group of their own. Just like father stood close by me.

Now that I’d assessed the environment, it was time to construct some sort of plan.

One child wandering about would surely catch someone’s notice, but as this was a ball, there was music playing and many people dancing. I did not think that anyone would care, even if I was the child of a Count, if I made some excuse and left the hall.

After that, I only had to find some random garden where no one was looking.

Well, then there was only one problem left.

“Father.”

My guardian, my father.

It pains me to say it, but I did not think that my father, who knew all of my habits well, would allow me to go free. As has been made very plain by his recent reactions, his estimation of me is extremely low. There is a very apparent sense that he mistrusts me.

However, as I was a genius, I had already thought of a natural reason to get away from him.

“Hmm? What is it, Christina?”
