The Charm of the Pirate

Debutante Party

Roseland, Government. December 1499.

Finally the day that everyone had been waiting for arrived. However, this was a day that Sofia had greatly avoided. Debutante's party is about to start in a few hours.

After the Sofia escape incident, his father always put guards in every corner of his house. She didn't want Sofia to go again and pass the important party today.

All day Sofia was crisp in her room, she could not get out of the room, even out her jokes were not allowed.

"Dad.."

"You're so mean!"

Bukk!!

Bukkk!

Buk up!

Sofia kicked at the door of her room quite hard. Inevitably Jasper went up and opened the door of his room.

"You're such a bad boy!" Jasper's got Sofia's ears pretty loud.

"Dad!"

"Stop, you hurt me!!" Sofia rubbed her ears that turned red.

"You'll hurt your feet if you kick that teak door!"

"Are you hurt?" Jasper ducked down to check his son's legs.

It looks a little red, but there are no blisters.

"Sit down sweetly. Soon some people will come and help you dress up."

"I don't want Dad!"

"You promised Sofi!"

"Gram!!"

"All right.."

Sofia rolled around on her bed in annoyance. Not long after that some people came to help her decorate. They even helped her take a shower.

Three hours of Sofia's time was spent dressing up. In half an hour, the big Debutante party is about to begin.

Sofia looks so beautiful in a nude dress, with her cleavage quite open. Her neck is decorated with a sapphire blue jewel necklace. Some of Sofia's hair was tied back like a princess, with a small braid wrapped around her hair. Not to forget Elie helped her use a copper-colored mask on her face.

"Perfect.." Elie was satisfied with her work.

Sofia turned her body in front of the large mirror in her room. He did not know the woman in front of him. Very different from her. Sofia became insecure.

"I look so pretty."

"But that's not me."

"What do you say Miss, you are indeed this beautiful." Elie did not stop looking at Sofia.

A coachman knocks on Sofia's door.

"Miss, your Dad has been waiting downstairs."

"I'll go down."

All the servants had been waiting for Sofia's arrival, they were marching like soldiers awaiting the arrival of her superior.

Sofia came down from the stairs, all eyes looking at her full of admiration, even some male servants could not hide her smile.

Ekhm

Ekhm

Jasper coughed deliberately so that everyone would stop looking at his beautiful daughter.

"Come here, bad boy." Jasper held Sofia's hand gently.

The journey to the castle felt so long, because none of them had started the conversation.

From a distance the sound of music had already been heard, beautiful lights glistening from the top of the cliff. The castle is located at the end of the island, near a cliff that directly faces the sea. The road to get there is only one.

There were a lot of horse carriages that drove towards the castle. The various forms of horse carriages look very beautiful and beautiful. Sofia saw him for the first time.

The gate to the castle has been opened. Everyone who wants to enter is required to issue an identifier of which family they come from.

However, the gatekeeper immediately told the horse carriage that Sofia was riding in just like that, without any inspection.

Maybe because this horse-drawn carriage has symbolized the kingdom. Marquess Jasper had entered the castle too often, so the Queen gave one of her chariots of pride.

"Sofia, be polite." Those were the only words that came out of his father's mouth.

They have reached the entrance, the chariot driver helps Sofia down. However, his father just waved his hand and said he would meet the Queen first.

With a heavy heart, Sofia walked alone down a very long hallway. He runs into several people who often appear in daily magazines collected by one of his servants.

"They look so pretty."

"I'm such a bad duck."

"Thank you for the theme of this party wearing a mask."

"Am I the only one who's been ignored?"

He continued walking regardless of the gazes of the eyes that kept looking at him.

"This is my first and last debutante party, I promise." Mumbled.

This room is very large, maybe the size of a field ball. Beautiful lights hanging above the ceiling. A round dome with angelic ornaments that dances with small white wings on its back. Very luxurious and beautiful, this is the first time Sofia saw a very large dome, and without support anywhere.

"Is this room safe?"

"Really?" He asked and answered his own question.

"And now I look like a fool."

From a distance Sofia can hear the voice of Lady Amber very loud.

She heard her name called by Lady Amber.

Curious, Sofia walked over.

"Yes, Lady Sofia.."

"really?"

"I heard it myself."

"An old Duke?"

"It's so unfortunate."

"I think so."

Sofia couldn't bear to hear it. Then he walked over and pulled someone he felt was worthy enough to be his partner.

The man was tall, had brown hair and a bit of blond on the top, his eye color reminiscent of Richi, blue as blue as the lake Ble.

"I'm sorry, will you help me for a minute?" Without hearing the answer from the man, Sofia continued to pull her hand firmly.

"Hello Ladies.." Sofia nodded and smiled.

"Ah Lady Sofia.." They are surprised, but can easily recognize Sofia, because she is the only pale-skinned woman in Roseland.

"Who is the man next to you?"

"Ah, he's my partner." Sofia is proud.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not." Answer Sofia casually.

"It's rumored you're getting married to an old Duke."

The man beside Sofia did not say anything, he just smiled.

"Don't brag Lady Sofia." Lady Amber is upset that she will be labeled a liar.

Sofia was out of her mind, but suddenly a crazy idea came into her mind.

He tiptoed and pulled the head of the unfamiliar man over, then kissed him abruptly.

Everyone in the room was shocked, including the man next to him. He did not expect any woman to dare to do such a thing inside the castle right at the debutante's party.

"Gosh, what's the crazy thing that's going on?"

"Look at them!"

"It's a rare sight!"

From a distance Jasper who saw the behavior of his daughter was very surprised, with very fast steps, he pulled Sofia from the crowd and dragged her with a little force.

"Jeez Sofia!!!"

"This brat!!"

"Wait for Dad, I haven't thanked the man!"

Sofia tried to let go of her father's hand which pulled her so hard. With all his energy, he ran inside. However, it was too late.the man had disappeared.

"That was my first kiss.."

"But I don't know who the man I kissed."

"that's sad."

Jasper saw his daughter from a distance. She doesn't know what to do with Sofia. Jasper had to make a tough decision.

"Sophy!"

"Hurry here!'

Sofia ran over fiercely, as all eyes continued to look towards her. No exception the Queen who sat on her throne, she could clearly see the incident, and could not stop laughing up there.

Notes :

The Kingdom of Roseland is located in Roseland, located far from the city and close to the cliffs.

The current theme of Debutante Ball is the mask. Everyone wears a mask. Only the royal members wore black masks, and no one knew about it other than those who wore them.

A Lady should keep her manners and not make troublemakers in public. Must be able to take care of himself.

Lady Sofia Esmeralda is the only woman with a pale complexion, just like her father Lord Marquess Jasper.
