The day after I stayed up all night thinking about what to do.
It was finally the last day of the Flower Festival.
“W-I don’t think so. Return this dress….”
“Miss, what are you talking about? You should start dressing up now!”
“Belle, aren’t your eyes too sparkling…?”
When I woke up in the morning, I tried to run away, but was soon caught by Belle.
“Do you know how disappointing it was for me because she doesn’t usually like to decorate? I’ve been practicing all my skills to decorate just for times like this!”
“Have you not decorated it enough already?”
So what was all that time of combing your hair and putting on your makeup? I struggled, but Bell was stubborn.
It wasn’t a metaphorical expression to wash one’s body with perfume and beautify one’s body from head to toe, which was something I had been accustomed to seeing in the Ropan… … .
“…Bell”
“Yes, miss.”
“Are you going to sprinkle gold dust in my eyes too?”
“I also prepared silver powder.”
“Wouldn’t it be bad if metal gets into your eyes?”
“yes?”
… … done.
When I saw Belle confidently holding up her brush, I half gave up.
No matter how much I think about it, this worldview really seems to be based a lot on the Ropan worldview.
‘Such Lopan-like bathing and decoration.’
So, doesn’t love really flow like the Ropanese worldview?
“……Eh, no way.”
“Oh, girl! You have to keep your eyes closed!”
As soon as I was about to open my eyes, Bell stopped me.
She busily changed brushes and started applying makeup to my face.
‘… … okay. ‘It’s not bad to do this for a day.’
Let’s think of it as a romantic comedy protagonist experience.
Or maybe you just think I went to the store to attend my ex-boyfriend’s wedding.
That aside, does love really flow like the Ropanese worldview?
Dancing with the man who sent me the dress… … We also go on dates… … .
‘And then you get hit in the eye?’
“bell,”
“yes.”
“Do you think His Highness Klaus is interested in me?”
“Of course. I’ve told you this many times. Your Majesty Klaus is the only one who keeps you by his side. And this time, he also sent me a dress.”
“Okay….”
As Belle said, I am the one who has been very close to Klaus recently.
Klaus sent me a dress, and he asked me to dance at the ball with him.
Ugh, it’s definitely a standard romance plot, but why am I so uneasy about it?
Are you saying that all of this must have been traumatizing because I was dumped so much in the beginning?
Belle raised her voice at my shocked reaction.
“No, ma’am. It’s rumored even in the salon that you and your majesty have a very close relationship.”
“That’s because Your Highness deliberately pretended to be a lover.”
“why?”
“Your Highness said he would do it to make things easier.”
“Oh my, what an innocent girl we are.”
When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Belle touching her forehead instead of putting on makeup.
“What did you say you made easy? Did you give me a lot of help?”
“It’s not like that, but….”
“Miss. I don’t mean to disparage you, but what is there that His Highness Klaus Ertikef can’t finish on his own when he sets his mind to it?”
“Well, that’s right. I didn’t really help much…”
He comes up with the idea of becoming a grave robber, accidentally discovers a coffin containing a bone, and finds a hidden laboratory by headbutting his body.
Although I accomplished such small tasks, if I were to be considered a key force, I would say no.
Still, Klaus went out of his way to investigate the duchy.
… … Is this really a dating flag?
“Your Majesty even said it was like a good luck charm to me.”
“Oh my gosh, His Highness Klaus is showing off! But here our lady is saying such naive things.”
“Is that what you showed?”
“Of course! There’s no reason, but I just feel emotionally reassured by having her around. If this isn’t showing off, what is?”
Belle spoke passionately and added paint to my face with expert hands.
And surprisingly, my heart was becoming more and more aligned with Belle.
I asked Belle with the last of my fear.
“But Bell, maybe His Highness Klaus isn’t interested, but I’m excited…”
“miss.”
Bell opened his mouth in a somewhat heavy tone.
“What if His Highness Klaus said it was the girl’s excitement?”
“huh.”
“Then you shouldn’t date a man like that! He’s such a trash man! He’s playing with the girl!”
“Bell, your voice is loud…!”
You were afraid of His Highness Klaus!
Why are you so excited all of a sudden? Belle wheezed and narrowed her eyes.
“Anyone can see right now that His Highness Klaus is being flirtatious with the young lady.”
“Chi-Geun-deok….”
“What you need to do now is play with His Highness Klaus and decide what to do!”
“Choose a direction?”
“You know what. Should I play around with it and then throw it away, or should I worry about checking the liver for now?”
“Belle, your outlook on relationships is very stimulating….”
What on earth was this girl in a relationship with? … ?
Let’s just listen to half of it for now.
There’s no need to play with it and throw it away, but you need to think about what to do with Klaus.
I’ve been singing songs about love and love, but when I thought that I might actually be in a relationship, I got nervous for no reason.
“Okay, that’s it, girl!”
While I was lost in thought, Bell tapped my shoulder.
“……and.”
I let out a heartfelt exclamation without realizing it.
A mixture of gold and silver pearls scattered soft light on the eyelids, and a subtle mixture of dark purple and red gave deep shadows to the eyes.
The long eyelashes were straight and made the eyes more clear.
The cheeks were subtly and naturally vibrant, as if they had been soaked with flower water.
The lip rouge color also gave a neat and elegant feel, and the addition of gold pearls as a finishing touch did not miss the glamor.
“The hard work was worth it.”
“Try to stand up. You should illuminate your whole body.”
Belle lifted me up and led me in front of the full-length mirror.
My eyes widened when I saw my reflection in the full-length mirror.
“You look really good on me, miss.”
Wow, the dress is really pretty!
Belle arranged my hair with white flower decorations and blue silk flowers she had received as a gift from Klaus, which went very well with the dress.
How about a choker-type necklace and earrings studded with sapphires?
At this point, rather than being embarrassed about wearing this dress, I started to admire my decorated appearance.
“I think this is truly reaching artistic heights, Belle.”
“It was all possible thanks to the lady’s kindness.”
“No, no. This isn’t a matter of my looks, it’s a triumph of technology.”
I couldn’t say it because I felt like I was praising it, but if I were to be honest, Elena seemed closer to being pretty and cute rather than being beautiful.
But isn’t Belle using her magic to make me look good in such an elegant dress?
“I’m glad you liked it. Then, young lady, please go and show me your best.”
“Okay, Belle! I’ll definitely go and decide what to do with Klaus!”
“Yes! I will support you no matter what conclusion you come to!”
It’s good to have faithful Belle by your side.
I nodded with a satisfied face and went to the meeting place with Klaus.
“Elena.”
Klaus, who was waiting for me at the meeting place, called my name.
‘Ah really. Why are you calling my name again?’
Once I became aware of it, it instantly heated up to the tips of my ears.
I took a deep breath, exhaled, and walked over to Klaus.
“The dress suits you really well.”
“I thought you weren’t sending me the dress.”
As I complained lightly, Klaus smiled lazily.
It was a smile I saw all the time, but for some reason, it caught my eye.
“So you were disappointed?”
“little bit.”
“I really like your honesty.”
I just said it was good! yes?
ruined. Since Geumsapa receives support from people around him, his heart keeps fluttering and he doesn’t know what to do.
“……Khom. You are making a statement that could be misunderstood.”
“My ears are red.”
Ah, your voice is so good! Even without Klaus pointing it out, my face and ears were on the verge of exploding.
I said while looking at the ground.
“I like the dress.”
“Me too. I picked it thinking it would suit me, but it’s even more beautiful than I thought. I really like it.”
Ah, I can’t continue more than two sentences.
‘Because I’m too conscious.’
okay. Belle definitely said that me and Klaus are a good relationship, the atmosphere is just right, everything is in the right place.
So, should I confidently ask this question in this situation?
“Your Majesty, could it be…”
“Does the young lady like me too?”
Uh, huh?
