Today is the day. It's finally my birthday, Stella, Veronica and other maids are helping me dressed up.

"You're so beautiful my lady!" One maid said, the one who's fixing my hair

"Thanks." I said

To be honest, I feel so nervous. A lot of guests are invited today and they already gathered downstairs

My first dance is my father, I looked at myself in the mirror, this is the face of the villainess, the evil person in this novel.

"You're ready, my lady!" Stella said

I stood up and went outside. The servants walked behind me. Nothingy gonna happen, right?

"Let us all welcome, Lady Eloise Ophelia!"

The guests are clapping their hands as I entered. They are smiling but I can feel the tension between me and them.

My father went towards me and asked for my hand

We dance in the center with a lovely music that are played by the orchestra

My father smiled at me, "You look dazzling today, my daughter." He whispered

I smiled back, "Thanks, father."

"Happy 16th birthday," he kissed my forehead and let go

My brother, Elliote, started to asked for my hand and I accept it since it's all part of the ceremony.

"You know, I always wondered why you're so good at dancing when I haven't seen you dance, not once in my whole life." He said then chuckled

"You're so independent. You're so different from what you are back then. I'm proud of you, sister, I mean it." He added

I'm speechless, this is the first time Elliote called me sister. He called me Eloise most of the time.

"Thanks." I smiled

He let go of me and I was surprised when my back landed on someone's chest. I turned around and saw Severus

"Would you like to dance, my lady?" He asked

"Of course, your highness."

I took his hand and we stared dancing. Our dance is so awkward. I don't know what to say so I keep my mouth shut.

I saw Augustus entered the venue. I almost didn't recognize him since he change his hairstyle and he's wearing a fancy clothes

His highness let go and bowed down, Raiden went towards me and asked for my hand.

During our dance, he keep making jokes and tells me a lot of his funny experience that made me laugh.

Theodore went up and asked for a dance. He compliment me and all. My head will be huge at this point.

And lastly, Augustus. We dance in the center, all the gazes are like pulling me down. Well, I'm dancing with the male leads all this time. Of course it's normal for people to hate the villainess for being 'friends' with the leads.

The dance continued until it's Khal turned. We talked about Khan being stupid and all. I chuckled, he really loves his brother even though they always teased each other

It's Khan's turn. He greet me and he stared talking about how annoying Khal is most of the time.

The dance is over and it's time for the banquet.

I was full since I ate a lot this morning. I walked away and someone bumped into me

I froze when I felt the same thing back then. I turned around and saw a lady with a blonde hair.

He looked at me, she has a really nice and angelic face. Not until I realized...

"Are you okay, lady Eloise...?"

It's her, Thalia Ygritte!
