THE CELEBRATION

"May I come in, Lady?" I took a deep breath and opened the door through my room.

"Oh, sure," I suddenly answered without thinking, letting her in the room.

My eyes widened, seeing her and the other servant carrying a mannequin which is wearing a fancy dress. A midnight blue feathered gown that has a plunging neckline can be seen. My eyes widened in excitement, quickly wearing them to my body.

The gown was a little bit revealing. The high slit on the right side was enough to show the whole front face of my right leg. The gown was hugging my body tightly, showing my curves that are placed in the right positions.

The gown is long, reaching towards the floor. With a backless design on the back part, the gown seems very revealing and yet the beauty it holds captured my interest. My birthday wasn't bad after all.

"Did you like it, Lady?" Roselia asked me, wearing a wide smile on her face.

"Who wouldn't be?" I answered with joy, running my fingers towards the smooth feather.

"I'm glad you like it" I smiled, hearing her words sincere.

Smiling at her was the least that I could do as my eyes were only focused on the dress I was wearing.

" Lady, I shall take my leave now" She suddenly informed me, bowing her head and walking away before I could even react to her words.

Changing my clothes to the ones I wore earlier. I laid down on my bed, looking at the lifeless ceiling of my room. The vast white of color reaching from the 4 sides of the high ceiling. There was a huge chandelier in the middle.

Feeling my body getting tired, I closed my eyes. The soft mattress behind my back was comforting me. Enough to made me fall asleep. And without thinking what would happen later, I let myself got succumb to the temptation of darkness.

Their faces looked funny to me. Roselia was wearing a peach-colored off-shoulder flowy dress that is reaching the floor. While on the other hand, her sister, Rosiana is wearing an apricot-colored halter top dress, with a nude belt hanging around her waist.

Seeing Roselia pouting, as well as Rosiana made me laugh more. They really look like sisters, especially their synchronize move. They led me to the dressing table after. Making me look at my reflection in the huge mirror sitting in front of me.

My dark golden brown hair was much longer than it used to be, in the past. I should probably ask them to accompany me to a haircut salon. Thinking that I should probably cut it mid-length, around my shoulders, or maybe a little bit longer.

I closed my eyes as their hands start to wander around my face and my hair. I didn't know exactly how much time did they take on pumping me up, but I'm sure it took past an hour.

They immediately grab my shoulder, without me knowing how I look like. Taking off the dress on the mannequin and putting it on me afterward. My expectations came into reality as realizing that it is hard to put the dress on.

I look at the mirror finally. My eyes instantly widen seeing my reflection. I do look so much better and the dress… the dress really fits me perfectly. It is hugging my body flawlessly. Making my curves show in the right place.

Roselia and Rosiana guided me thoroughly, until the finale where they zipped my dress up. We three sighed in relief after I'm done putting it on. The dress where heavy. I feel its weight shifting on my body. My hands traveled up on my chest, covering the neckline part. I look at them with worried lingering in my eyes.

"Roselia is this okay?" I asked her for about 4 times already. She's starting to get irritated at me, I laughed silently because of it.

"I told you it looks perfect in you" She answered again.

"Isn't it too revealing?" I asked them, looking down on my right thigh which is currently being revealed by the high slit of the dress.

"It's not," Rosiana smiled, shaking her head off.

Roselia agreed on with her sister, Rosiana, and is now shaking her head off too. I sighed, believe their words. Looking again in the mirror. I smiled as I look at my reflection.

I do feel confident wearing this dress. It feels nostalgic to look at the mirror and think to yourself that you're already 18. Sitting on the bed while waiting to be called is what we're doing now. Without anything to do, I stared at their faces for a while.

I pouted and sat on my bed. Rosiana is doing my hair, braiding half of it while she plans on curling the rest of it.

"Hold this," She asked me.

I took the round glass container in her hands and placed it in my thighs. I opened it and stared at the pearl and golden hairpins inside of it. 2 pair of pins caught my attention. It's made from south sea pearls, which are rare to find and is really expensive. Rosiana starts to order me things which I wholeheartedly obliged to.

"Happy birthday, Elizabeth" It was their voice that echoed right through my ears.

"Thank you," I smiled, sincerely saying my thank you for helping me out.

*Knock *Knock *Knock

"I guess it's finally the time, Lady,"

I took a deep breath and stared at my reflection for the last time. I stood up, walking closer to them. My eyes went towards Phiarah who is laying down on the soft mattress of my bed.

"Let's go, your highness,"
