With all these thoughts running through her head, Estelle had finally reached her room. May opened the door for her. As she stepped inside, her eyes widened. There was a mannequin in the room—one that hadn’t been there when she left.

“What is this dress...?”

On the mannequin was a navy blue robe décolleté—a dress considered to be the most formal female attire. The fabric was lustrous silk taffeta. The dress was set with beads that glittered like stars and had been embroidered with roses in gold thread. Its sleeves were long, and it had been carefully designed to hide the scar on Estelle’s left arm.

“Looks like it was delivered while you were away. This is a present from His Highness. He said you would need it eventually.”

Estelle was dumbstruck, dizziness taking over. If she wore a bluish dress with Rosalia’s royal symbol—the rose—embroidered in a golden thread, anyone would associate her with Arcrayne. His blond hair was the color of honey. The only reason the dress was navy blue must’ve been the fact royal blue—the color of his eyes—was restricted for use.

“I’m surprised you know my size. I don’t remember having my measurements taken since coming here...”

“We made an enquiry to Flozeth, so the size should be correct.”

Once again Estelle was dumbstruck. May continued in the meantime, all smiles.

“Would you like to try it on? Although I would suggest taking a quick bath first.”

Estelle couldn’t speak for a moment. “Where is His Highness right now?” she asked.

“He should be changing too at the moment. After having dinner here, His Highness intends to return to the palace.”

Listening to May’s matter-of-fact reply, Estelle grew dizzy. May was quite the peculiar type, as perhaps should’ve been expected from someone who had originally been Arcrayne’s personal attendant. She always looked unruffled, and her mana never showed signs of swaying. It did make it easier for Estelle to accept May as her personal attendant, but sometimes she couldn’t help envisioning her as some sort of doll.

“If this is enough to surprise you, you’re going to have a hard time in the future. A dressmaker is to come tomorrow, to make fine adjustments to this one and to prepare to make numerous dresses in the future.”

As Estelle remained speechless, May offered her a gentle smile.

“That’s what it means to have the first prince propose to you. I would suggest taking whatever you can get.”

I’d made up my mind to use him, and yet... Estelle wavered. She was genuinely happy about getting a pretty dress. Especially now that she’d become aware of her feelings for the person who’d given it to her.

Still, such wasteful spending weighed on her. It was probably because House Flozeth wasn’t particularly well-off. Until now, Estelle had had to figure out ways to get by. When she needed a new dress, she would order something as orthodox as possible. She also repurposed old dresses and wore her clothes and accessories in different combinations, and sometimes traded in her old dresses when having new ones made.
