"Yaaawwwwwwnnnn!!!"
I had woken up close to noon, and that was only because of a knock I heard on my door.
"Y-yeah? Who is it?" I murmured, scratching my head as I looked torwards the door.
"E-er, it's Ivan. A representative from the Queen has arrived, and we're all gathering in the parlor. The Prince told me to come to fetch you."
'Shoot!' My eyes bulged.
I had gotten so carried away last night that I lost track of time.
And thanks to that, I had overslept. If I wasn't careful, this tardiness would reflect very badly on my image. Everything I had worked so hard for until now could be threatened!
"Tell them I'll be there soon."
"Okay, then." Ivan's tone suggested he wanted to say more but decided against it.
The boy finally went away, leaving a disheveled me seated on my bed.
'I better hurry!'
Brushing. Bathing. Dressing up.
These three processes took hours of perfection for some people, but… for a powerful Mage like myself, I only needed a minute.
