Chapter 6: Surprisingly, Nobles Prefer Close Contact

“…I feel like I’m marrying my daughter off.”

Charles had tears in his eyes when he finally saw Fiona in her finery. The custom-made dress Linus ordered for her had arrived in time for the ball. It was a pink-beige confection—gorgeous without being ostentatious. A gossamer top layer of fabric was threaded in gold embroidery from bust to skirt, and it shimmered and sparkled beautifully with her every moment.

The ribbon wound around her waist was the same pink-beige but made of a different, glossy fabric. An elegant rose made from the same fabric was set in the knot of the ribbon. Her gloves were white, and her hair was swept up into a loose chignon decorated with floral ornaments made from white and silver thread that set off her black hair splendidly.

Her necklace was silver inlaid with pink gemstones. She didn’t know the name of the gem, but she thought they were beautiful.

“I hate to be the bearer of bad news, sir, but you essentially are.”

Charles’ shoulders slumped in despair at Ada’s quip. Fiona privately thought they were both being much too dramatic.

“In any case, His Highness has a wonderful eye for style. Just as I expected. The whole outfit suits you well, Fiona, and you look so lovely.”

“But it’s too showy for me. I can’t settle down in it.”

Though she appreciated Ada’s compliments, she couldn’t be completely happy. Fiona was used to wearing her holy attire at work, and her regular clothes were even more plain. As someone who’d led an extremely normal life as a commoner, she found it difficult to adjust to such fine fabric and expensive jewels.

While she thought the dress was charming and glamorous, the mental strain she felt wearing it was tremendous.

“Fiona. You are simply ravishing.”

Linus exclaimed upon his arrival at the Everett residence. Those were the first words out of his mouth, and he fixed his narrowed eyes on Fiona. He continued showering her with praise for several minutes, but she wasn’t in the proper frame of mind to accept them.

She had met Linus often over the past decade. Lately, they met regularly in the royal palace, but when she thought about it, this might be the first time she saw him in his formal wear.

The gold embroidery threaded through his deep gray jacket was exquisite, and his silver hair flowing down his back shone more brilliantly than usual. The white rose pinned to his chest added to his blinding beauty that could make anyone blush. Fiona should have been used to him by now, but even she breathed a sigh of wonder.

It wasn’t just his superbly sculpted features but his aura overflowing with elegance, beauty, and sensuality. An absurdly perfect bachelor crown prince.

No wonder young noblewomen chased him relentlessly, one after another.

“The dress truly does become you, Fiona. And now, if I may, for the finishing touch.”

With that, Linus pulled out a white rose from somewhere and deftly pinned it to her bodice.

“You and I match.”

“Will everyone
