She has also gotten a lot taller to a degree that seems unreal. At first, she was around 139 cm but now she is 172 cm tall. But in this world, it is normal for a woman to grow to their max height between 14-15 even if it is 40cm that has been grown. For the men, it is between 16-17. So at the age of 15 women can look like adults in height but men still look like they are 13 years old.

Then she walks straight towards the Small ballroom which can only hold 30 people while the big ballroom can hold 1050 people. Once she arrives she can see that there is one long table with a buffet and another table where the guests can sit.

The people that are there attending were everyone in the Evernight family, Benjamin, two maids that treated her like she was their little sister. One is named Mei and the other's name is Lucy. Mei is in her early 30. She is kind and gentle but very detail-oriented. The staff often say that she is as kind as an angel in her free time but when she starts to work. She is a demon that gets angry if everyone misses a single speck of dust. And because of this trait, she is in charge of all the maids that clean the mansion. She also likes children's dots on Annette very much to the point that she even cleans her room for her.

Lucy on the other hand has a bright personality and is the most popular maid among the opposite gender. She gets confest to at least 3 times a month. Of Course, she rejects them brutally. As she only cares about her job. She is a next-level workaholic.

It is said that all the 13 years she has been working here she has never taken a holiday unless the Grand duchess has treated her to fire. But now when Annette arrives she has used her breaks to be with Annette when she has her lessons.

Then there are also some of the knights attending that she has gotten to know from sparing with them. So with all of them, there are 15 people attending.

"Happy birthday!" Everyone shouts as she enters and they all use a magic item that is as round and big as a tennis ball. This is this world version of birthday crackers but it works more like a miniature fireworks show. Then they all greet her in ranking order and give her her blessing. Then they chat and eat until it is time to give her their presents. First, she got a pair of boots from the maids. They went up to her ankle. They have a 3 cm high heel and are pitch black. The Knights on the other hand gave her an expensive and high-quality long whip that has a lightning enchantment on it. Among all the weapons she learned, the knight is most afraid when she uses a long whip and after that, it is when she is wielding dual katanas. So they decided that giving her her own personal whip would annihilate the young lady's enemies. In Fact, this was more of a gift to Cassi than to Annette as the reason for the gift was to protect her. Though they almost did not buy it as they would not like it if she used it on them. She is after all Benjamin's daughter so once she grows up she may use it to discipline them or to vent her anger. Just like Benjamin.
