Chapter 24


    <strong>Ch . 24 Preparations</strong>


    It cannot be helped so from the next day the n is immediately carried out, preparations for going to the evening party begin .


    It is just one but making new dresses is difficult .


    At the time of my social debut I received a present of a dress from my parents, but that was not custom-made but pre-made . The dresses received as engagement gifts, and the dresses arranged after the wedding in the residence are also like that . And so, it is my first time having a dress fully custom-made for me .


    I am disinterested in dresses and fashion and such, however a madame who seems to know the capital’s ultra famous haute couture, has personallye to take measurements . Such a VIP, right on the heels of yesterday, rushed over to do it, of course as expected of the noble duke house, oops I’ve ended up admiring a strange point .


    I was nervous about what kind of self-important madame woulde but,


    “Wow, a lovely Mistress! You have a long, slender and well-proportioned figure, so the dressmaking shall be worthwhile”


    She is a graceful older women, with a soft smile like flowers blooming . Ho . But how can you make ‘the style nice’ if you get that I am t-chested wrong? Ah, was she being polite? Uh, huh that’s it .


    First of all measurements .


    This is embarrassing . In front of the madame, Dahlia, Mimosa and several other maids, I appear in my underwear, lifting my arms high, turning backwards and this and that . I am steadily and precisely measured from top to bottom . I think, ‘what an embarrassing y’ .


    That finishes and this time it is the design .


    I do not know very much, so for such things it is time for Mimosa’s huge strong point .


    “A design that can appeal to the Mistress’s neat and tidy front......”


    “She is also tall so, a shapely design would be more bing......”


    Before my eyes a discussion concerning the design, and from that source the madame is fluently drawing the design . I end up being fascinated at the skillful drawing that does not seem like it was improvised . I am more glued to madame’s skill rather than the design .


    After a short while the design is settled, next is the material .


    Highest grade silk is the best to touch, it is calmly glossy, moreover it is light, it is perfect .


    They will use it liberally . It is extremely expensive . The feel of it is too good, it is to the degree of ending up being spellbound .


    The colour is a safe light blue .


    How did it be like this?


    ～ Sudden reflection on yesterday’s conversation ～


    “But my clothes......”


    The Duke who had ordered Dahlia and Mimosa to arrange the dress and essories, would probably n to give instructions on his own clothing but,


    “In that case, there is some that was made new the other day that has not been worn once . The n was to wear at a evening party but you were absent from it as it ovepped with official business”


    Said Dahlia looking unconcerned .


    “Ah, aah . That’s right . ”


    Havingpletely forgetting the existence of such clothing, the Duke is amazed .


    ‘Well then, Master will wear that’


    “...... . all right”


    Thus the Duke’s clothing was decided just like that .


    Later in a conversation I asked Dahlia, it seems that a urgent business trip came up and a evening party was cancelled . Come to think of it around the time we got married there was such a business trip . But I waspletely oblivious to it


    That’s it, end of reflection .


    I mean, if the Duke can use something he has, it is also fine for me to use something I already have, right～ I say but Dahlia and Mimosa said ‘let’s make these’ with smiles and drawing near, I gave up .


    And, those clothes of the Duke’s are light blue, so the dress’s colour is to be made to match that . I think it is not necessary to have a couple-look though～ Won’t we look like a cringey couple? Consequently we will appear intimate? Ah, really?


    The appointmentes to an end and madame said such things as ‘here, I’ll exert my skills!’and hurriedly left .


    And next is the jeweler . This he is also a super famous jewelry shop owner also in the capital came around . The duke household . Sure enough their ability is different . Today I really, am reminded of this many times over .


    The dress has not yet beenpleted, so the image and colour from a little while ago is conveyed then, while saying ‘I see, I see’ he rustled in his luggage in hand and soon after,


    “How about something like this?”


    The owner says, taking out a solid crimson velvet box .


    It is grandly opened immediately, to the overwhelming dazzling beautifulness, ‘my eyes, my eyes!!’ I cover my eyes and at the same time stagger......did not happen but, it is true that it is dizzyingly dazzling .


    Setting that aside, what first appears from inside is a coboration of sapphires and diamonds, a magnificent article of rare beauty . Even though things may seem this way- it is simple because an abundant of jewels are used .


    “Please try it on”


    He says sweetly smiling and handing it over, but my hands are shaking! Sure enough, I must ept this? I hesitate and cannot move when,


    “Let us look at your face reflection”


    Says Mimosa receiving it instead of me, she fastens it to me neck . Mimosa, thanks for the nice back up!


    Looking in the mirror, it is certainly lovely . However the sad reality is the essories are too beautiful and my face looks nk...... depressing～


    I am sulking at my iness by myself, but to such things I am unconcerned .


    “Wow!, it suits her nicely!


    Mimosa squints,


    “It suits Mistress’s eye colour well . It is very nice”


    Dahlia also smiles,


    “I also prepared others just in case, but I think this is the best one”


    The owner also endorses it .


    ......it is obviously expensive . The dress from before is also though . Yeah, I do dare to ask the price for this . I think If I hear it, it must absolutely be on a fainting level .


    “......well then, with this......”


    What will be, will be .


    I make a decision .


    The dress and essory appointments end uppletely taking up the time, when I notice it is evening .


    Though I know it is bad manners, I stretch out on the couch in my room . Because only Dahlia and Mimosa can see me!


    “Ah～ I couldn’t do anything today”


    Cleaning～, decorating～, gardening and such～


    I could not even wear the uniform today .


    “Well, asionally there are days like this”


    Mimosa, while giggling, ces a cup with hot steam rising from it before me .


    “I didn’t know going to a evening party would be difficult like this～”


    What on earth have the evening parties been up till now? At the most I woulde up with essories and wear the same dress but... Is it not because there was not such a fuss?


    “In a little while, dance and manner lessons will take more time than mansion things”


    Ehhh～?! What was that just now?!


    Having a quick nce at the voice heard from behind Mimosa, Dahlia says this with a exceedingly big smile . This is a pattern that cannot be refused . Learning, I am .


    “gu... . . ”


    My throat has been blocked by Dahlia’s words and smiling face,


    “Please leave your weariness recovery and polish up to me!!”


    This also Mimosa says with a exceedingly big smile, holding my fist .


    Why is～it～ although social evening parties are optional～ I wonder why everyone is enthusiastic like this?
