"My princess, you know this is your father's decree. You must attend the ball tonight." Neuvillette responded calmly, standing behind you as he skillfully braided your silky hair into an elegant bun.

Having served the royal family since your childhood, Neuvillette had taken on the role of caring for you, essentially raising you in the absence of your busy father. Your rebellious nature often posed a challenge for him, as it wasn't fitting for a young princess. Nevertheless, Neuvillette cared deeply for you and found joy in tending to the spirited princess. Ultimately, his priority was your happiness. He understood a long time ago that beneath your hot-tempered facade, you harbored your sincere feelings.

"I understand you're still unwed, my young lady. I'll gladly be your dance partner this evening." Neuvillette continued, securing the final strands of your hair and gently arranging a few loose locks to frame your face. Meeting your gaze through the mirror, Neuvillette expressed his willingness to accompany you, knowing it was his duty as a loyal servant to keep his princess happy.
