It's been three days when Erella heard from Flynn about the thousand-year ginseng. She didn't tell Aunt Camille and Max about it yet because they were so busy. Yesterday, Max just received a letter from his majesty that indicates he will approve his engagement with Erella after the royal ball. So Max and Aunt Camille excitedly decided to celebrate their engagement a week after the ball she will attend.
'Geez! Why the heck do we need approval from the king before we will get engaged officially? That is absurd! He is not our family or relatives!' Erella thought rolling her eyes. She thought after she got the approval from her stepmother, they were already engaged. And people in the empire will just recognize them as an official couple after they will celebrate their engagement. But she thought wrong. In this world, those high-ranking nobles need to ask approval from the king first before they are officially engaged.

Thank you for reading. See you in the next chapter. :) P.S. Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
"Fairy?!" Erella uttered. She was looking at the creature with amazement. Her gaze was concentrated on the tiny human. She overlooked the web where the fairy was stuck because she was really awestruck looking at it. The little fairy was a chubby little girl with short curly bluish hair. And she was glowing like a dim light bulb. "AWWWW! She's sooooooo cute!" She said thrilled with excitement. That was the first time she saw a fairy. In her past life as Sandy, she really wanted to see a fairy, because fairy on Earth was just a myth. Even the monsters she faced before were just a myth in her past life. Facing them for the first time gave her a fright for a second but when she thought of her tremendous power she instantly forget the fear, only a feeling of disgust left in her when she was looking at their hideous sight. "ARGH!" The little fairy groaned while struggling hard to get out from the web. After a while, she was exha
Lily, the little fairy was left surprised inside Erella's room. She couldn't believe there was someone who could praise her for how good her magic was. Usually, her fellow fairies mocked her because she's weak. All she can do was, transform someone and heal their minor wounds. Unlike the other fairies, they could do more than that with their magic. Lily's fear of Erella suddenly disappeared. And then, a smile broke across her face. She felt overwhelmed for the first praise she received that she didn't notice Erella had already gone out of the room. A few moments later, she remembered her transformation magic will last for only three hours. And she forgot to tell Erella about it. "Where did she go?" She asked herself when she could not see Erella in the room. Then she saw the door was opened. She hurriedly flew towards the door and looked for Erella. But she was startled because there were other humans outside the room. "M--Milady?" The m
Thirty minutes earlier... Max was in his office room just staring blankly at the documents in front of him while his secretary, Damian was looking at him anxiously. Damian knew that his young duke's mind was not on his work because for the entire day he never touch the documents on his table. Their young duke's mind kept on wandering to their young ladyship's room. Damian knew that their young duke was worried about their young ladyship's first ball in society. But their young duke needs to finish the pile of documents on his table because they will be needed by tomorrow. "Your grace, those documents are needed by tomorrow so please I beg you to finish your work by today," Damian said while sobbing internally. But Max didn't hear him at all, his mind was full of Erella who will go to the ball. He was still against the idea of Erella going to the ball because he knew what will happen to her if she will attend the ball.
"Who's that young beautiful lady together with the young duke and the marchioness?" The servants kept on murmuring when they saw Erella together with the young duke and the marchioness going down the stairs. Supposedly, they need to bow their heads to greet them but they forgot to do it because they were mesmerized by the beauty they saw. Erella's matured appearance was blinding to their eyes. They even didn't notice the little fairy beside Erella. "She is really blindingly beautiful!" "Is she a fairy?!" "No, you are wrong. She is more like an angel!" They kept on praising Erella's matured beauty. Erella who heard all their comments shyly covered her face. She loved it when people praise her, but praising her too much, she felt a little embarrassed. And because of that, she momentarily forgot about Max and Aunt Camille who were beside her. All she wanted to do was to get out from those
The carriage was already far from the Von Heinlein. The happy and teasing atmosphere earlier became quiet. Max who was bashful became more bashful. He looked like a stiff robot sitting across Erella. Every time Erella move, he flinched and hurriedly stare at his feet on the ground as if he didn't take a look at her. But even though he was too shy to steal a glance at her, he still couldn't help his self to do it. On the other hand, Erella who was thrilled about his first-time different reaction towards her earlier became quietly shy in front of him. Her boldness and braveness in teasing him were gone in the wind because it just sank in her mind that her crush finally thought of her differently. So her heart kept on pounding hard as if it wants to come out from her rib cage. Her face too became as red as a tomato. She could not stare at him as she normally does when her appearance was still like a ten-year-old kid. All she could do was steal a glance at him too
Erella became excited when she saw the royal guards guarding the gate of the palace because she was a fan of a handsome young man in a uniform when she was Sandy. She narrowed her eyes while walking towards them just to see them. But still, she could not see them clearly because they were against the light of the light post. When she was already near them, she saw how macho they were, so she was expecting them to be handsome young men with their cool uniforms, just like in the anime she watched when she was Sandy. But her expectations were far from reality. And she was really disappointed because the guards were not handsome or even young. They were middle-aged men with big muscles and mustaches. And worst of all, their uniforms were too simple! Their uniforms are red long sleeves with a white belt on the waist paired with black pants and black shoes. Also, they were wearing long furry black hats on their head. 'Oh, my veggie! Is this what they are saying, exp
The young noble ladies in the ball who were dazzled by her beauty woke up from their dazed. Then they looked at her with confusion on their faces. They were wondering who Erella was because it was the first time they saw her, especially those noble ladies who had already gone to Baron Astley's estate to visit Graciella and Audrey. "Is she really from the Baron Astley estate? Why I never heard her from Graciella and Audrey?" Lady Dawn Bailey asked the ladies surrounding her while covering her face half with a fan. Dawn Bailey was the daughter of Viscount Bailey. She was really baffled about who was the beautiful young lady just entered the ball. Because when she visited the Astley estate, she never had seen Erella there. All she saw was the little kid who was working as a maid and a few servants that Paisley hired just for that day because a viscount daughter visit their estate. Dawn looked at her carefully once again. A face wanted to ap
"Oh em gee! How long do we need to wait for the princes? I am bored. I want to go home with Max." Erella murmured feeling bored. She was already standing for fifteen minutes near the banquet table alone. Earlier, she wanted to relax outside the balcony but all the balconies in the hall were occupied by the young ladies so she ended up standing near the banquet table. She tried to look for someone to talk to while waiting for the two princes but the noble young ladies were avoiding her and the commoners were too scared to approach her because she's a noble. "Dang! If I know this is what happens to me, I should pretend I am sick and just stay with Max in the estate." Erella murmured again. Then she looked at the table full of delicious snacks. She didn't plan to eat at the ball because she was afraid she couldn't control herself to eat more and her dress will burst out, just like what she was doing in the Von Heinlein estate. But because o
