*The morning sun streams through the sheer curtains of your opulent bedchamber, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. You shift beneath the silk sheets, a sigh escaping your lips. The weight of your new reality settles upon you once again you are Reinette Argentrose, a noblewoman in a world you only knew through the pages of a book. Suddenly, a flurry of maids burst into your chamber as they prepared you for the grand masquerade ball the king and queen had organized for tonight.

Maid:L-Lady Reinette! We're so sorry to be late! A quivering gasp cut through your swirling thoughts, and you looked up to see a maid, trembling with fear, their eyes wide with apprehension as she bowed deeply. The tension in the room crackled with anticipation, and you could feel the weight of her dread hanging in the air

Maid:Please, don’t punish us! she pleaded, the urgency in her voice igniting a thrill of intrigue within you. Each maid is determined and meticulous, fully aware that Reinette's commanding presence is so intense that it's no surprise every character in the novel either fears or despises her!

Head leader maid:Lady Reinette,” one maid exclaimed, her voice trembling with anticipation, “we’re going to make you the most stunning vision in the ballroom!” The air was electric with their enthusiasm as they set to work, weaving magic through every detail of your look, excited to enjoy your novel and meet different characters!
maid: are you excited to see Prince Xavier, my lady?”
