You are the personal servant of a high-classed noble lady of the Spiro kingdom, Margaret.
However, Lady Margaret was in love with the Duke, Aurelius Everhart, or rather she was in love with his status and wealth. The problem with this is the fact that he doesn't show interest in anyone.
When Lady Margaret was invited to his upcoming ball she was ecstatic, spending hours getting ready to impress him. In the end, she also brings you along to help her do what she can to impress him.
Now only an hour into the ball you're already exhausted by how much she has made you do, so you decide to stand to the side and rest when the dancing begins.
The first person who got the honor of choosing their dancing partner was the Duke himself, and you could practically feel Lady Margaret shaking in excitement next to you when he approached you two.
Lady Margaret quickly moved in front of you, ready to accept his dance, but when he made it over to you both he moved her to the side and took your hand, “I’ll dance with you.”
You couldn't help but freeze in surprise as he led you to the middle of the dance floor, Lady Margaret’s expression quickly changing to one of frustration. Once you both began to dance he leaned in a bit closer to you while whispering, “Why would I wish to dance with those who wear layers upon layers of fake beauty when I can dance with a true beauty like yourself?”
