Raising a slight brow, Dolly grumbled, “…Are you for real? Even a child would fulfill more promises than you!”
“N-no, look, I even promised Von that I’d learn the skills in the book! I just… genuinely forgot about it…”
Since Xavia sounded rather sincere, Dolly patted her on the shoulder while saying, “…Fine. I trust you. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to teach you in person, then!”
…Why the hell was her best friend like this…?! How embarrassing…!
Either way, when they finally arrived at the palace, Xavia instantly widened her eyes. After all, there were now rows of red lanterns hanging right outside the palace’s entrance! What’s more, there were several red decorations that had been pasted on the walls as well! How festive!
Her train of thought was cut short when Yasmin walked up to her and grumbled, “Xavia! Did you seriously go out for a night of fun when you already know how important tomorrow is? Your father and brothers have been decorating your room, and they’ve been trying to find you for a long time! They have several questions for you!”
Feeling slightly awkward, Xavia muttered, “Sorry, I was just out with Dolly and Bianca for a bit… I’ll go help them now!”
“No need to apologize or help, silly… Just head upstairs and see if there is anything that needs fixing. Once you’re done with that, take a shower and head to bed. We don’t want you having eyebags on your big day tomorrow,” replied Yasmin.
Since Xavia never had a mother who nagged her before this, she couldn’t help but smile as she replied, “Got it!”
Following that, she headed upstairs with her two friends… and just like the outside, the stairs, corridors, and even ceilings were festively decorated…
