"Yeah, the ball is a formal event where other world leaders are visiting." Father said smiling warmly. "Is it that important?" I asked. "Of course, and you absolutely need to dance the first dance with me! To show our wonderful parental bond!" Father said enthusiastic. What a loving father. "Okay!" I replied smiling.
As I walked back, I noticed all the maids were rushing around with dresses and accessories. What? What's going on? I stopped a maid holding some flowers. "Uh, what's happening?" I asked. She looked panicked, "Oh princess! It's because the ball is coming! It's the most important ball in the world, because this will be the first appearance of the princess to the whole world!"
I stared at her blankly. What? This is scary. "Isn't it tomorrow though?" I asked. She sighed. "Oh, princess! The preparation of your dress and look must be started before the day, or we will be late!" She yelled. Really? Uh.
"Anyway, Princess, the head Maid is waiting at your room to give you a rose water bath!" The maid yelled as she ran away. Well, uh. Okay. I kept walking back to my room.
The next day, it was overly hectic. I woke up at 4:30 to get a honey and lily water bath then put on a face mask. Oh man my face looks great!
They then got all sorts of accessories and flowers. It's so busy. Wow.
They finished. I stared at myself in the mirror. DAMN WHTA THE HELL! MADELEINE YOUVE ALWAYS BEEN PRETTY BUT DAAAAAAMMMNN.
"Yo, are you guys done?" August asked as he stood outside the open door. "Of course, Princess is finished!" Said the head maid as the others looked exhausted in the back.

He came in. As our eyes met, his ruby red eyes widened.
August stared at me for a while, unmoving. ".....you look pretty." He said looking to the floor, he blushed. I smiled, "thank you,"
He held out his hand and I took it. "Is the ball starting?" I asked as we walked through the corridor. "Everyone's arrived, they're just waiting for the emperor and princess." August said, still holding my hand.
"Are you nervous?" I asked him. "Why would I be?" He replied looking up. I laughed. "Oh, I see father!" I yelled as we walked nearer to the figure of my father. He was wearing formal, intricate clothes that resembled what an emperor should look like.
August passed my hand to father. "You look stunning, Leine! The maids did great!" He yelled as he motioned his hands up. I giggled and said, "thank you!"
We walked down the stairs, to the ballroom.
The ballroom felt like it was sparkling as we stood over groups of people. "The emperor Adrian Diomiteis de Florente and Princess Madeleine Maria De Florente!"
I stared down at the groups of people. What a sight.

A Girl and Her Food
When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix. Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive. But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question... It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right? Things to expect: - A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes. - Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now. - Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments. - I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇 - Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea. Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!
