Chapter 41
Annette was overjoyed, not knowing that Rafel would attend the evening party with her.So she did n't notice Rafel's blushing face of her.Now Annette's mind recalled a memory from her past life that she regretted.
She said, 'She never made it to his sword master celebration banquet in her previous life.
Even in his previous life, Rapel became a sword master with his own power. However, Annette was lying on the sick bed at the time. If I recall, it must have been about half a year before Annette's death her. A large-scale banquet was held to celebrate Rapel's achievement his as a Sword Master.
In fact, it was such an event. Even across all continents, there could only be one or two sword masters per generation, and they were valuable talents. It often appeared in large places like the Chapelle Empire, but it was a really rare slope in a kingdom like deltium.
Naturally, King Celgratis did not want to miss this opportunity. It's amazing that such a talented person appeared in his country his, let alone his own son his! He wanted to show off the existence of lapel even in order to establish national status. This, a grand celebration continued throughout Deltium throughout the month.
At least, the crown prince's coronation was not so loud. But Annette never attended all these celebrations. She was very sick, and she didn't get along with Rafel either. Because of this, she had no choice but to soothe her bitterness by only hearing about the scale of the celebration.
'Can it be different in this life?'
Annette was not sure. She didn't even decide whether she should leave Rapel or whether she would stay by his side. To make a decision, he had to find out what Rafel thought of him first. Party, so there was plenty of time to ask. Annette intended to peek at the lapel sooner or later. I hope I won't hear something like 'I really hate you' this time.
“Then it's decided. By going to this party together.”
Just in time, Lafel bluntly shook the invitation in her hand. The pretty invitation held in his big, hard hand was like a toy. Annette erased her bitterness and smiled brightly for now. Yes, just by attending the party with Lapel, this life was already changing. So I thought I could try a little more optimistic expectations about my new life.
“Like. Shall we go get ready, then?”
“Ready? What?”
Rafel asked blankly. Annette, instead of answering that, rolled her eyes and smiled. There were so many things to prepare to attend such a grand party. This is especially true if it is a meaningful occasion where the couple is attending together for the first time.
Fortunately, Annette was quite knowledgeable in this field.

“Lady Annette!! No, should I call her the Marquis of Carnesis?”
A woman walked out of the luxurious dressing room, spreading her arms with a smile. The woman, with her hair as red as flames, was very tall and thin. Maybe that's why it was a neutral and sophisticated image. Seeing her, Annette smiled Broadly and stretched out her arms to embrace her.
“Tina! I missed you so much!!”
“Me too. How can you be more beautiful! Look at this transparent skin her. Her eyes of her her are as clear as pink topaz! You seem to be sleeping well these days, right?”
The two women embraced each other and exchanged greetings. Tina Hamilton, the designer of Papillon, a luxury clothing store, is almost 10 years older than Annette. Thanks to this, Tina has been in charge of Annette's clothes ever since she was a little girl To Annette, Tina was someone she felt comfortable with, like her friend or her cousin her.
In her current life, she hadn't reunited with Tina for the first time in a long time. However, considering the time she had returned, it had been a really long time. Annette had almost stopped all social activities her in her previous life Maybe that's why this moment when she puts her clothes together again, and Tina in front of her, was especially welcome.
“This is my husband, Tina. Say hello.”
Annette finished her greeting and introduced Lapel with a smile. Then, Lapel, who was watching the situation with her arms, her folded behind her, greeted her with an awkward look as if she was uncomfortable. Used to go to a gentleman's dressing room where men only exchanged the necessary words with each other. The colorful fabrics shining everywhere, the overly friendly attitude of the clerks, and the unknown scent of powder.
Ghostly aware of her customer's discomfort her in her, Tina greeted her with her smile.Even in the midst of this, her eyes her were busy scanning Lapel's appearance of his.Tina's pupils her her hidden between her smiling eyes her widened.
'Oh my gosh, my God! As rumored, he is absolutely handsome!!'
Tina's dressing room Her, Papilong, was one of the most famous places in Deltium. She specialized in her ladies' wear, but men's wear was also to a great extent. Since she was close to Annette, she used to make her clothes her for Crown Prince Ludwig, whom she knew would marry her in the future.
Of course, her crown prince her, Ludwig, was also the owner of a luxurious appearance that was rarely seen. In particular, the harmony of long and beautiful silver hair like pure silver and delicate features made him look like a work of art. Tina personally rated the lapel in front of her as more attractive.
Rafel was one of the few real men who only used the gentlemen's dressing room. Therefore, this was the first time Tina had seen him. She was very much impressed by this meeting. Brightly! The charisma itself that emanates from her entire appearance was very unique and sexy. He was a man with a masculine scent that women would never forget once they saw him.
Tina looked at Annette in silence and gave a thumbs up. Annette, realizing the meaning of the gesture, snapped Tina on the arm of her, bursting out with her laughter. She was not like the girl who was always calm. Annette's face her naturally glowed with vitality in front of the friendly person she had been reunited with.
Lafel could n't take his eyes off Annette's smiling face of her, even in the midst of being uncomfortable in an unfamiliar place.His eyes her followed Annette as if she had applied honey.Seeing this, Tina smirked.
“Huh.”
In fact, Tina was very worried because Annette, her longtime client of her, was marrying her of convenience. Annette, like a well-bred girl, was delicate and had a weak heart. On the other hand, Rafel was a young, competent and handsome man, but the rumors he heard were not too good. He was especially famous for his fiery and violent temper. Tina wondered if Annette would be able to live her marriage her with such a man.
'But if you have love, it's a problem that can be overcome! Cancer, by the way.'
Tina looked at Lafel happily Rafel's nervousness Her in his in an unfamiliar place was just like a big cat and a beast But there was also a pretty cute side to her Annette's look at her sticking right next to her.
Tina saw the well-matched pair in front of her eyes her and somehow her motivation her flared up Her feelings of her were even more special because she had designed her wedding dress herself Tina smiling brightly , asked as she held Annette's hand tightly.
“Hey, customer. So, which dress did you come to tailor today? From the exotic silk of the Orient, to the multi-layered lace of Letan, to the recently popular ombré technique dyed fabrics! Waiting for you to choose.”
“Today is……Here, I'm going to match a dress for this party.”
Annette showed Tina a thinly folded invitation.It was a warm new invitation that I had just received this morning.She accepted, and after Tina sifted through her details of her, she threw in a few suggestions.
“It's an evening garden party. Since it's an outdoor party in the middle of the night, it would be nice to make a shawl that goes well with the dress so that you don't catch a cold. Do you have any other colors you want?”
“Well.”
Annette smiled instead of talking about the color.Seeing that meaningful smile, Tina immediately recognized Annette's intentions her.Because she was Tina's most precious and oldest customer.
“I'm going to decide after seeing the outfits of the other attendees first. Right? Are there any ladies you are particularly concerned about?”
Tina, lowering her voice, asked in a whisper.In the social world, information was literally life.After she gets a rough idea of the outfits and colors of the other contestants, she uses them as a reference to pick out a dress that allows her to stand out more. Having such information was a natural service for Deltium's well-known clothing stores.
If you were a lady who used a low-quality dressing room that could not provide this information, you would sometimes have to face the humiliation of overlapping costumes with other attendees or falling behind the fashionable dress code alone. Of course, as a Bavarian duchy , Annette was far from such humiliation. In that respect, Tina had never let Annette down once.
“Tina, I heard…… I heard that Lady Celestine is also participating in this party.”
“Ah. You mean 'him'. Of course you don't know.”
Tina smiled gracefully, and she noticed Annette's words to her. Even so, Tina and Celestine, who overtook Annette to become her crown princess her, did not look very pretty. She was Tina, who never doubted that one day she would make a dress for Annette's coronation her as princess. It was a secret, but I actually gathered some ingredients. She got it all thanks to Celestine, who she doesn't even know where she came from!
Naturally, Tina's feelings her for her Celestine she weren't very good.Especially when I remember that the dressing room Celestine uses is my competitor!So Tina took out the rumors I had already heard through rumors.
“I heard that she would wear a dress in a very fresh color, like a lemon in summer. The entire fabric is embroidered with gold thread, so it is very luxurious and shiny.”
“Hmm, the yellow fabric is gold.”
It would be a dress that would suit Celestine, who has brown hair, very well. Annette was looking forward to this evening party. In his previous life, he never had a chance to meet and talk with Celestine. Their enemy her, and were wary of Annette never approaching Celestine. Well, from their point of view, they believed that Annette was the main culprit in the kidnapping, so he made it.
'But this time I have to talk to Celestine.'
Annette was struggling with what kind of clothes he should wear at this party. Then, as Tina always did, she picked up several fabric samples and showed them.
“It's an evening party in a lush garden, so how about a bright salmon pink color? It will catch your eye among the vegetation. Or, harmonize this fresh sky blue robe with a silver bodice to give a refreshing feeling……. “
It was then. The reason Lafel, who was standing awkwardly behind her as if she was there, opened her mouth.
“What is this?”
Lapel's tone was quiet, but she possessed a power that could not be easily ignored. Perhaps it is because he is a person who has gone through a battlefield of life and death. Lapel's heavy voice her had the effect of concentrating people. Tina involuntarily stopped Her words and looked back at Lapel.
What Lapel was looking at was a pair of custom-made clothes on display in one corner of the dressing room. Seeing this, Tina explained with a bright commercial smile.
“Ah, this is a couple dress look that is trending in the Chapelle Empire these days. It is a costume that is usually worn to show off golden hair among couples or lovers. Isn't it lovely?”
The dress of the woman on display was a dark blue robe with a gorgeous red bodice as a point, so it was sophisticated and feminine. On the other hand, the outfit of the man next to him also consisted of a navy blue coat and a dark red cravat color scheme. Anyone could see that it was definitely a set for a couple.
Lafel was staring at the outfits with her blatantly interested eyes in her.His eyesher were so intense that I was worried that the fabric might be pierced.
