Chapter 1: The Rose of Yulnova

The following day, Alexei and I boarded a carriage and returned to our capital residence.

Roses had already started blooming in the large garden, and several gardeners were running around caring for them. There were plenty of different varieties in the garden; their job was to make sure each would be in full bloom on the day of the imperial visit.

Apparently, people often said that there were “no roses you couldn’t see in the garden of the Yulnova, only roses you could see nowhere else.” Making adjustments so that all of these would bloom at the same time must be incredibly difficult. The imperial family visited every year, but the frequency didn’t make it any less of a big deal.

Since lunchtime yesterday, I’d been worrying over how to choose and order a dress. When I’d gotten back to my dorm room after class, I’d complained about it to Mina.

“Procuring dresses is a servant’s job, my lady,” she’d answered, her tone even and her face void of emotion as usual. “I will take care of everything else, so you just need to decide what kind of outfit you’d like to wear.”

I’d been taken aback by that answer at first, but after thinking about it for a while, it made sense. For the past six months, I’d received more dresses than I could count without ever going out of my way to order them myself. They’d been prepared for me, so I’d just worn whatever I was given.

That said, most of them hadn’t looked great on me. With my indigo blue hair and mature appearance, frilly yellow dresses were a bit of a fashion faux pas. They made me look ridiculous.

From what I gathered, the better process for these things was to get a servant to call upon a designer. You then told them what kind of dress you were looking for, and they’d show you some sketches. Next, you’d order the designs you liked best.

So, after serving me dinner, Mina had stepped out to set up an appointment with a popular capital designer. She was set to meet me today at our residence. Wasn’t Mina managing to book an appointment for the following day amazing? That Time My Beautiful Maid Was Mad Efficient.

Well, the Yulnova influence had probably helped somewhat.

It was now time for me to meet the designer! Her name was Camilla Croce, an up-and-coming designer who’d only recently turned thirty. The thin, energetic woman wore her silver, green-tinged hair in an intricate updo.

When I suggested she sit down with me, she looked at me with wide eyes. Did noble ladies usually make designers stand for the whole duration of meetings? I hesitated, but didn’t think I could focus while forcing her to stand, so I once again offered her the seat opposite me. Eventually, she accepted and sat down across the table.

I started explaining to her that I needed a dress for the imperial visit, and that I was hoping to have something made with a simple design so as not to appear rude or showy.
