Chapter 2: Spel van Goden

Beneath the ballroom’s massive, shining chandelier, the first thing Duchess Pablo excitedly exclaimed was, “Goodness, Jeanette! What is that dress? It’s stunning! Look, darling! It looks like a flower!”

“Hmm... It’s quite splendid. What sort of flower is it supposed to be?” Duke Pablo inquired. Although he usually didn’t show much interest in women’s attire, he was looking Jeanette over carefully while stroking his beard.

Tonight, Jeanette was clad in a dress made to resemble a tulip. The yellow satin billowed out just like the velvety petals of a tulip flower. The dress was layered too, giving the impression of numerous petals blooming downwards. It looked as though Jeanette was wrapped up in tulips. The design was bold, but thanks to the elegant sheen of the satin, it exuded luxury rather than eccentricity. That was Jeanette’s favorite part, as it truly represented the tulip flower’s glamor.

Upon hearing the duke and duchess’s remarks, the nearby noblewomen also began whispering in excitement.

“My, they’re right!”

“What a wonderful dress!”

“Look! She has flowers pinned to her hair and chest too.”

Jeanette grinned—the ladies had keen eyes. She had an ornament with a real, yellow tulip pinned to her hair. Its freshness and the vibrancy of its color made it almost impossible to believe that it was a real flower. The beauty of it made everyone ooh and aah.

“Thank you very much, Lady Christine, Your Excellency,” Jeanette replied bashfully.

“She looks like a fairy tonight, doesn’t she?” Claus said, gazing at her as though enchanted. He swiftly clasped her hand and placed a kiss upon it. As his lips touched her skin, he looked up at her with those violet eyes. He was exuding even more sex appeal than normal, and Jeanette could only gulp at the sight.

“Ah...!” One of the young ladies nearby let out an anguished cry right as she fainted.

“You’ll never find a woman as beautiful as her even if you scour the entire country—nay, the whole world!” Claus proclaimed. “Don’t you agree, Your Excellency?”

“I see you’re the same as ever, Claus,” Duke Pablo responded with a sour expression.

Christine paid the men no mind, cheerfully addressing Jeanette. “Tell me, are the flowers you’re wearing tulips?” She looked like a young maiden who’d just discovered a treasure. Her eyes, which were the same light blue as bairapa tourmalines, were twinkling brightly.

“Yes! This is the tulip flower,” Jeanette affirmed, pulling out one of the red tulips which were pinned to her chest. These were real too, having been sown onto the dress. “Here’s one for you, if you’d like!”

“My! What a beautiful gift!” Christine said, joyfully accepting it. Then, mimicking Jeanette, she tried fastening it to her hair.

“It suits you so well!”

A bright red flower bloomed upon the duchess’s hair, which was such a pale blonde that it almost looked see-through. Paired with the hair ornament she already had, her loveliness all but beamed from her. The duke’s mouth fell open as he stared at his wife adoringly.

Christine didn’t seem too happy about it...until she let out a mischievous laugh.
