บท 310: Stealing Magda's birthday party (5)

Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

My nerves were tingling while I made my way to the party.

I had a number of concerns about seeing Magda again.

Will I be able to maintain my composure? What if I shrink in fear, how I used to do before?

Just thinking about facing Magda created knots in my stomach. Yes, I am not a weak girl anymore, but Magda was (and is) my personal bully and it's not easy to shake off the fear that got embedded into my bones.

Will she recognize me as Sanya? She shouldn't. Other than clothes and makeup, my bearing is different.

The plain old Sanya is no more. I am Seraphina Mezzanotte, the heiress, Aldus's daughter, an immortal with several abilities that will help me through tonight. I chanted this to lift my spirits. 

Everything is set in motion, and Duke said that he will help. I can't chicken out now.
