Can Someone Please Explain This Situation

Chapter 24

Ch . 24 Preparations

It cannot be helped so from the next day the plan 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 personally come 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 would come 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 flat-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 play’ .

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 becoming......”

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 become like this?

～ Sudden reflection on yesterday’s conversation ～

“But my clothes......”

The Duke who had ordered Dahlia and Mimosa to arrange the dress and accessories, would probably plan 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 plan was to wear at a evening party but you were absent from it as it overlapped with official business”

Said Dahlia looking unconcerned .

“Ah, aah . That’s right . ”

Having completely 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 was completely 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 appointment comes 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 been completed, 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 collaboration 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 accept 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 accessories are too beautiful and my face looks blank...... depressing～

I am sulking at my plainess 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 accessory appointments end up completely 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, occasionally there are days like this”

Mimosa, while giggling, places 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 would come up with accessories 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 glance 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?
