The Charm of the Pirate

Debutante Ball

Capital of Roseland, December 1483.

This year Rossie turned 16, which is the right time to introduce himself as Debutan. Her mother and father had tried their best to persuade Rossie to attend a party that was often held in Roseland, but Rossie always insisted on rejecting it.

He always reasoned to feel uncomfortable gathering with people he did not know. But something is different this time.

Today will be held the Feast of Debutante to coincide with the birthday of Queen Roseland, Queen Ranee. Every Single Man and Woman is vying to wear attractive clothes and accessories to take the heart of her partner. And that's what Rossie is doing.

It's been a week that Rossie has been around looking for a dress to wear when Debutante is coming. His mother was very surprised to hear of Rossie's sudden desire.

After almost visiting the entire store, He finally found the Dress he wanted.

A very striking red dress, with a low neck cut, so that it will show her beautiful breasts, and show her slim body.

Her mother happily gave Rossie a necklace of Jamrud-colored large jewels. The necklace looks very snug on his chest.

"Rossie.. You look so awesome.." Whisper Mother in her ear.

"Stop Mom! You're embarrassing me!" Rossie covered her face that turned red.

"I'm sure Marquess Jasper will be fascinated to see you!!"

All the servants agreed and nodded their heads. They did not stop being amazed to see the beauty of her young lady.

"You're exaggerating! Don't make me misbehave!" Rossie shouted loudly enough, so everyone laughed at him.

"You're so pretty, Miss..." A female servant stared at him nonstop.

"Of course, she's my only daughter!" Rossie's mother hugged him tightly.

"Of course Madam, you're much prettier!" The waiter nodded his head.

Rossie and her other ministries giggle at her mother who pretends to be embarrassed.

Rossie's personality changed 180 degrees after meeting Jasper.

He didn't know why, either, but Jasper always made him comfortable. Although Jasper did not say much, Rossie always understood where he meant.

Jasper's existence makes Rossie forget the incident of the death of Princess Charlotte quite quickly, so both parents are very happy with their closeness.

After Jasper saw Rossie crying that time at the treatment place, Jasper drove Rossie home. Both Rossie's parents are very worried because Rossie disappeared, but their worries just disappear after seeing her son home ushered in by a nice and polite handsome man.

Since then, Jasper has been visiting Rossie's house on the grounds that he wants to see some vineyards, because indeed Jasper is the owner of the largest winery in Roseland.

Jasper's polite attitude makes both people know Rossie is comfortable and trusts Rossie to leave him. Jasper already knew that Rossie would only survive a few more years, but all that did not dampen his intention to get closer to Rossie, he said, he did not care about it and only did what he wanted at that moment.

"You're going to Debutante next month?" Jasper asked on the sidelines of his conversation with Rossie.

"Debutante? In palace?"

"Yes.."

Rossie hooked her fingers.

Jasper looked into Rossie's eyes and clasped his hands.

"You must be present! I'll be there." Jasper smiled sincerely.

Inevitably, Rossie nodded resignedly and returned his smile. I don't know what happened to him, but Rossie can no longer retract his words.

Since then he has been constantly practicing dancing and training his other abilities because he does not want to look bad and humiliate Jasper during the Debutante Ball later.

Not noticeably, the Debutante Party will last a few more hours.

Rossie has prepared all the important things and will soon leave on his horse-drawn carriage.

Every Debutan, must be delivered by his parents. Because this party is like giving up singles and Debutan will go home with a partner. It's like the last time a parent lets go of their child to fight.

"Do I look pretty?" He circled in front of his Mom and Dad as he got off the horse-drawn carriage.

"You look amazing, baby.." His father wiped away the tears in his eyes.

Her mother had been holding back tears ever since.

"Be careful, dear.."

"Sure! I'll be fine.." You return. Rossie tried to smile happily and did not want to make both parents worry.

Though his heart has been beating so hard since, this is his first party of a lifetime, He does not want to disappoint anyone, including himself.

Rossie walked slowly into the palace, She did not want her legs to get caught in her long dress.

His heel felt quite sore, as he was using quite a high right.

"This stupid boy! I'll never use it again."

"Who's the fool?" Jasper's voice sounded soft in his ear.

Rossie was shocked and twisted her body.

"Mr Jasper.." Rossie was stunned to see Jasper wearing a black Tuxedo suit with a white shirt without a tie, He was speechless.

Rosir's cheeks were red, he was very embarrassed and wanted to disappear right now.

Everyone who passed by noticed them. They knew the man, he was none other than the young Lord Marquess Jasper, yet they did not know who the woman he was with was.

Deftly, Jasper took Rossie's hand gently and walked beside her.

"I will not let go of you, so that no one will dare look at you.." His whisper was in Rossie's ear.

Rossie's face heated up, He didn't understand what Jasper was saying, but he smiled full of happiness.

Both of Rossie's parents who were looking from afar were crying at the same time. They had no idea that their only daughter would go to a party like this and get an amazing partner like Marquess Jasper. What an incredible and matchless happiness.

After calmly seeing Rossie with Japser, they finally left the Palace with a happy heart.

"Did your leg not hurt?" Jasper saw Rossie's legs covered in a dress.

"How did you know that?"

"Because now you look taller than usual." Jasper laughed and closed his mouth.

Rossie covered her face and stared intently at Jasper.

"Sorry, sorry.." Jasper stopped laughing and looked back at Rossie.

"You shouldn't have come, I'm afraid someone will take you.."

"Stop sir, you're embarrassing me.." Rossie lowered her head.

"I said it really.." Japser looked at Rossie's eyes gently.

"I know.." Rossie replied timidly.

"Let's dance.."

Rossie nodded.

Jasper gives his hand and Rossie welcomes him. They danced accompanied by a cheerful song, all eyes looking at him enviously.

Jasper is a young Marquess who is single, everyone wants to get acquainted with him, after waiting for the end of the year to see Jasper. However, their hopes were dashed when they saw Jasper coming in the company of a pale-skinned woman.

"Does anyone know who that woman is?"

"I just saw her first."

"He made me jealous!"

"Oh my God, look at Taun Jasper, he's so charming!"

All the women did not stop looking at Jasper.

"Will God punish me for dancing with you?" Rossie asked as her gaze collided with Jasper.

Jasper just chuckled at Rossie's question.

"God no, but maybe half the women in this room will follow you, like I have a side job right now." Jasper smiled mischievously.

"Hhaaaa, I'm not that weak!" Rossie deliberately stepped on Jasper's foot.

"Well, I'm sorry Lady.it's my fault.." Japser blinked one eye.

After the music stopped, Jasper walked back and knelt in front of Rossie.

"Sir... What are you doing?" Rossie shut her mouth.

"LADY ROSSIE SARA.. WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

Everyone was shocked to hear the sudden statement that came out from the mouth of Marquess Jasper. So did Rossie, she didn't expect Jasper to do anything like that.

Rossie was silent, he did not answer immediately. She was confused and almost crying because everyone was looking at her and waiting for her answer.

Their eyes were focused on Rossie, no one was doing any activities, they were all really waiting for Rossie's answer.

"Rossie.I'm sorry, I know you're very surprised, but please.. I love you, I love you from the first time I saw you. The joys and sorrows let's go together..." Jasper lowered his head.

Rossie's heart was pounding, and it felt like the pounding would just stop if he did not answer her quickly. Rossie clenched her hands, she gathered all her courage.

He looked at Jasper, then walked closer to him and raised Jasper's hand, then nodded his head.

Everyone clapped their hands to welcome the new couple.

Jasper did not hesitate any longer towards him, then quickly He hugged Rossie and kissed her forehead in front of everyone present at the night of the Debutante Ball Party.

Rossie's face is now as red as a boiled crab, he can't hide it anywhere.

Someone was watching Rossie from a distance.

"Thank God, you'll be happy now...." Mumbled.

Then, the young man left the crowd and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
