Chapter 85: Chapter 35. Dress for the ceremony
After the strange incident that happened to
last night, I tossed and turned for a long ti before I could fall asleep again. But in the end, I managed to get quite a bit of sleep, because early in the morning my already restless sleep was interrupted again.
??My Lady, are you awake yet???
After this question ca from outside, the next mont, the door to my room opened without warning. ??What’s going on...??? When I was still lying in bed and barely opened one eye, I saw the maids bringing a mannequin with clothes and other strange objects into my room.
Following the maids, a woman I had never seen before also entered the room.
— What’s going on? Who are you? — Half asleep, I absentmindedly sat up, trying to figure out what was going on.
— Mada Revin greets Lady de Walt, — a middle-aged woman entered the room and bowed deeply to , — weren’t you warned about my visit?
— Warned...?
To be honest, I couldn’t figure out exactly what was happening right now. Confused, I turned to the maids, and they explained to
in a guilty voice:
— Lady, we told you last night that Mrs. Reven would be paying you a visit. Don’t you rember?
I blinked as my sober mind finally began to return to . Co to think of it, the maids were actually chatting with
about sothing last night... But apparently, I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I didn’t pay any attention to it at all. But as it turned out, that’s exactly what it was about.
Mada Revin owned one of the best tailoring studios in the empire. To place an order there, the client had to have a certain status in society and capital, and the very existence of these requirents spoke of the high level of this institution. The na of this salon and its owner has been widely known in high society for several years. And even I’ve heard of him before.
But there was one thing I couldn’t figure out at the ti.
— I’m... pleased to et you, madam. But what are you doing here?
I can say with confidence that until recently, I definitely did not make any orders in this atelier that would bring this woman to . And, to be honest, lately I haven’t been in the mood for shopping at all...
But anyway, I still couldn’t figure out what it all ant.
Mada Revin smiled faintly at .
— Lady, I was hired by Her Highness the Crown Princess to prepare an outfit for you for the engagent ceremony.
I think I finally woke up from sleep at that mont.
??Wait! The engagent ceremony outfit...?!??
And why am I the last to know about sothing like this?!
— Since the deadlines set by Her Highness were very tight, the seamstresses in our studio have been working without sleep and rest day and night for the last two weeks. Fortunately, we’re almost done with the work, — she said, — but I need to check if there are any areas that need fixing, and that’s why I ca to you today.
Mada Revin presented
with a mannequin on which hung a wedding dress, which made
speechless. The dress was crystal white, and as expected, it looked very beautiful. But what caught my attention in the first place...
The pattern on this dress was a traditional imperial design with fine gold threads. The problem was that usually dresses with such a pattern were intended for future empresses... In other words, it was a dress for a royal wedding!
— This is the dress you will wear to the engagent ceremony, my lady.
??...??
Mada Revin’s further words seed to co from a long way away, as I was still in absolute shock.
When the maids helped
put on this dress, I still felt like I was out of my mind.
— Lady, please spin around a bit.
Feeling like a living mannequin, I continued to follow the instructions of the salon owner while she carefully examined the dress and looked for any flaws in it. To my great surprise, the dress, which I had never seen before, fit
perfectly. Obviously, Mada Revin had received all my asurents in advance. And I didn’t even want to know exactly how they took them off ...
— My Lady, do you like the dress? Do you have any special requests? — the woman asked when she was sure that all the stitches were indeed done perfectly.
??.....??
When this question was asked to , I looked at myself in a large mirror in a daze.
And the reflection of the girl dressed in a white wedding dress didn’t seem to belong to .
To be honest, I still couldn’t believe that all the conversations about our wedding that I had previously heard from the mouth of the main villain were really being conducted in all seriousness.
??I can’t believe the engagent ceremony is just around the corner...!??
This fact worried
much more at the mont than the beautiful dress from Mada Revin.
***
After the fitting, the owner of the atelier wished
a ??happy?? engagent and left the finished dress in my room, and she left. As I continued to stare at him for so ti, I realized that I just couldn’t sit idly by.
Plagued by anxious thoughts, I decided to talk to the Crown Princess again about our upcoming engagent. After all, judging by the conversations of the servants among themselves, I guessed that the ceremony would take place even earlier than originally planned.
And this news didn’t make
very happy.
After all, this ceremony definitely shouldn’t have taken place before our plan with the main character ca true! I had to escape from here before I was forcibly led down the aisle. Thus, I absolutely had to talk to the villain about this topic and try to convince her.
However, there was an unexpected surprise waiting for
at the entrance to the office of the Crown Princess.
— ...I am so sorry. Her Highness is unable to et with you yet.
The dark warrior knight standing guard in front of the door apologized to
and bowed.
??What’s the matter??? I asked, a little surprised, because I had never had any problems arranging a eting with the princess at any ti of the day.
??Her Highness is not in her office right now, but she should be back soon,?? the knight inford .
??Ah, I see.??
I nodded my head slowly.
??It’s all right. I don’t have anything else to do today, so I’ll wait. Can I co into the office then???
??Of course, I’ll let the lady know that you’re expecting her there,?? he replied readily.
Heading to the villainess’ office, I sighed softly. For so reason, I was still uneasy.
