The next day, Flèche held a banquet to celebrate our arrival in Lèvres, just as he had promised. As the guest of honor, I started getting ready early, enlisting the help of the maids Flèche had assigned to me to change into my dress—the one I’d secretly packed in my bag.

“Oh, my, what a unique gown,” one of the maids commented.

“This combination of colors is...interesting. It reminds me of His Highness’s favorite suits,” another said.

I couldn’t help but smile at their compliments. It was my favorite dress, after all.

“Isn’t it just?” I said proudly.

In high spirits, I finished getting ready and joined Char and Canon, who were waiting for me. Both were dressed to the nines, looking sharp.

“Char, Canon, sorry for the wait,” I said to get their attention.

They turned toward me and instantly froze. What’s wrong? I wondered.

“L-La— You... That dress...” Char stammered, seemingly too shaken to form a proper sentence.

“Mother, did you have to pick that particular pattern?” Canon added, as shocked as his father.

Needless to say, I was not pleased with their reactions.

“What, you don’t like it?” I said with a pout.

“Absolutely not,” Char replied, not pulling any punches. “And here I thought I’d confiscated all of your ugly dresses before we’d left. I can’t believe one slipped through the cracks.”

“I agree with father. I believe it would be better if you changed into another dress, mother. This banquet is not the appropriate place to wear a mouse-squirrel-rabbit-patterned gown. Besides, they look...strange.”

With both of them ganging up against me, I found myself at a bit of a disadvantage.

“Come, I will pick your gown,” Char said with a sigh. “I’m taking this stupid dress out of your hands until we’re home.”

“No way! Even the maids liked it! They said it was ‘unique,’” I protested.

“Did they really mean it as a compliment, though?” my husband retorted.

I’d been holding on to this dress specifically for an event like this, but Char and Canon wouldn’t budge. They confiscated it, and I had to begrudgingly change into the sad, patternless cream gown Char picked for me.

When I was done, Char took me by the hand, and the three of us hurried to the banquet hall, arriving just in time.

“Good grief, we almost didn’t make it because of you. Something really is wrong with your fashion sense,” Char grumbled, still clearly annoyed by the whole situation.

“But it’s such a cute dress,” I muttered.

“There’s nothing ‘cute’ about those creepy animal faces. Not only did they look weird, but their expressions were off too, like they were angry. Canon agrees with me.”

“Do you?” I asked, glancing at my son, who nodded in agreement.

“Yes. They were all very poorly drawn.”

Well, this proved once again that my husband and son didn’t have an ounce of artistic sensibility.

The three of us made our way through the reception room, chatting with each other. The place was filled with elegantly dressed guests enjoying the festivities.

What a splendid banquet, I thought, taking in the ambience.

To be completely honest, it was far superior to the party we’d attended at the palace.
