"A... amber? Is that you? You, you look a lot more mature." Venus-sama stuttered while pointing at me with her shaking hands.

I frown.

I turned to look at Headmaster Rivers, "Excuse me, but why did I look a bit more mature? And also, why did my hair and eyes suddenly changed?"

"Oh, it's because I put too much life force into the crystal ball that made you look a year older than your current age. As for your hair and eyes, don't worry, it's only temporary. It'll last about a few months or so." He explained.

"Okay." I said before examining myself.

True to Venus-sama's words, I did look mature. I grew taller, my body became more curvy than being all too skinny to the bones, my chest grew a bit too and my skin is now pinkish white rather than being pale.

But in my opinion, I rather lookd healthy.

When I reincarnated, the previous Amber was weak and malnourished. It took me a few weeks to make her body healthy again. But her deathly pale skin and body being too skinny still remained because it'll need a lot more nursing.

"Wait! Luke nii-san, what time is it already?" Venus-sama suddenly asked which snapped me out of my daze.

Headmaster Rivers stopped what he's doing before turning to look at his watch,

"Little cousin, it's already thirty minutes before six." He said with a grin.

Venus-sama froze before turning to look at me. Her eyes has a malicious glint in it.

I shrank back on my seat, 'She'll use me as a guinea pig again.'

Venus-sama immediately stood up from her seat before dragging me along. I wailed in my heart.

Curse you Venus Crystle!

It took us a long time choosing a dress that would fit my style. Eventually, what seemed like an hour, Venus-sama finally chose a dress for me to wear.

The dress is short in the front while it's long in back. It's color is dark green and it's frilly.

The ball is just a normal ball. And for some reason, Venus-sama made me wear a mask. Her reason?

"That face is so beautiful, that it might blind the guests."

I don't know what's wrong with my face for Venus to say that. My face is not the sun that could blind people if you look at it. My face is a normal one.

But for some reason also, I agreed to her whims. So I ended up wearing a mask to the ball.

The mask is dark green with different colored feathers and silver patterns. It goes well with the silver flats with laces that reches my knees, which Venus-sama made me wear.
