Nathaniel froze for a second, then scratched his head. "Ysabel, you being all polite like that... feels weird?

Yep, this guy clearly needed to be roasted every now and then.

As soon as Tessa walked in, Ysabel jumped up to greet her. "Ms. Tessa! Finally! I thought you were going to

bail on me."

Today was the most important day of her life. She wanted the people she cared about to be there.

"Relax. There's no way I'd miss your big day." Tessa smiled, giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "Don't stress. You've poured so much into this album. It's going to be great."

"Yeah, I was panicking at first, but now I actually feel calm," Ysabel said, taking a deep breath. "I mean, I can't control the outcome, so I might as well enjoy the ride. This is something I love-I don't want it to turn into a burden."

"You've really grown up," Tessa said, her eyes full of warmth.

Ysabel leaned in and hugged her. "Meeting you in my last year of high school was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me. Without you, I wouldn't even know what path to take."

"I'm lucky to have you too," Tessa replied, hugging her back. "I'm not easy to get close to, but you never shied away. You've always been in my corner."

Their friendship had always been mutual-never one-sided.

Nathaniel watched from the side, genuinely happy for her.

He'd always wanted to support Ysabel, but had constantly felt like it wasn't enough. Tessa, on the other hand, never made a fuss-but she'd paved the way for Ysabel in countless ways. Ysabel really was lucky to have her.

"Alpha," Nathaniel turned to Landon with heartfelt emotion, "Ysabel's so blessed to have someone like your Tessa."

Just then, Cameron and Hudson arrived as well.

They had watched Ysabel grow up, so of course they wouldn't miss such an important day.

"Tessa really is impressive," Cameron said with a grin.

The launch began not long after, with Yanxi personally overseeing the event. It turned out to be even more packed than expected.

Backstage, Ysabel peeked through the curtain and saw the mass of reporters already seated. The nerves she'd just managed to suppress surged up again, and she instinctively held her breath.

Tessa noticed the stiffness in her posture and reached over to gently squeeze her hand. "You're doing great. Just breathe. You've got this."

"Okay!" Ysabel squeezed back, her eyes lighting up once more. "We've prepped for so long-this is the moment. I can't back down now!"

The moment the host announced her name, she took a deep breath, lifted her dress slightly, and stepped onto the stage

The audience-already filled with fans thanks to weeks of promotion-burst into synchronized cheers the second she appeared.

"Ysabel! Ysabel!"

It was the first time she'd truly felt the warmth of a crowd's enthusiasm, and the tension in her chest instantly melted away.

"Hi everyone, I'm Ysabel."

She took the mic, her voice clear and bright. "To be honest, I'm just a rookie. To receive so much attention already-I'm really grateful."

According to the program, she performed the lead single from her new album live-an exclusive song commissioned by Tessa from a legendary love ballad artist. The name alone was enough to keep media buzzing for weeks.

Many of the singer's longtime fans had only shown up out of curiosity. But the moment Ysabel began to sing, the entire venue fell silent.

Her voice was clear, with a slightly gritty edge that gave it a stubborn warmth- instantly recognizable and deeply moving.

"This girl's actually really good!"

"Her voice is so unique-I'm hooked!"

"The King's got a concert coming up. Think she'll show up as a guest?"

"Who knows? He's never written songs for anyone else before, and now he made an exception."

"Exactly! In this world, is anything ever really impossible?"

Backstage, Nathaniel overheard the audience chatter, and couldn't help the smile stretching across his face.

He knew Ysabel had finally stepped into the world she loved-free to be herself, full of joy.

And the road ahead? She was just getting started. She'd walk it stronger, farther than ever before.
