Chapter 75
Liv examined her reflection in the mirror from various angles. Being small and thin, she wore a dress with a voluminous skirt to complement her figure. Dozens of layers of thin fabric were overlaid, creating a mysterious light as sunlight passed through them. At the same time, her arms and back were exposed, emphasizing Liv’s slender body line. Laga had certainly admired that Liv looked like a fairy from mythology, but could it be that Emmett found it unsatisfactory?
“No, that’s not it at all. I just... Haah.”
Emmett let out an incomprehensible sigh, then sat down opposite Liv.
“Laga, could you step out for a moment?”
“Yes, yes!”
As Laga quickly put down the accessories and left the room, Emmett’s face became serious as he opened his mouth.
“Liv, I’m not trying to interrogate you. I want to help you.”
“Pardon?”
“I heard rumors that Young Lord Kreppelin proposed to you.”
“Ah...”
At those words, Liv’s face darkened. So he found out quickly after all.
The reason Liv hadn’t told Emmett about this incident first was simple. She was ashamed of the fact that she was an insignificant person. Without Emmett, noble young ladies and young men still tried to look down on Liv and treat her carelessly. Revealing one’s flaws to a loved one wasn’t particularly pleasant.
