Chapter 43: Friend?
"I don’t think that looks good on you at all."
"You wouldn’t look good in anything anyway."
Adeline just wanted to get herself and Dimitri some nice pieces of clothing to wear, how did it get to this point? Now, the daughter of a Viscount and Dimitri were locking heads in the shop making things awkward for people all around them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the banquet was approaching, Adeline decided to get something nice for herself. The Goddess had gone mute this entire time so she had a fairly peaceful last couple of days. Although she wasn’t able to get the Crown prince to intervene and send Benedict a letter. She was sure that Benedict and his father would come to the banquet. They had to!
It was a celebration for the Second Prince, they couldn’t ignore it, and it would be like an insult to the royal family.
On top of this, Alaric just refused to let her go to the palace, so she had to wait for the banquet to come to ’save’ Benedict. How was she going to do it? She hadn’t a clue. What was she going to say? ’Hey, actually your advisor is a complete b*tch.’
On second thought, that might just work. She could just frame the advisor, and get her away from Benedict.
The very next thought that came to her mind was, ’What happened to me?’
She went from being an ordinary girl to a scheming munchkin who planned to frame some lady of child abuse! Too many big changes in her personality. A girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do. She had to survive.
Her brother intended to bring along Dimitri as a servant but she did not agree. She was going to have him dress up nicely and introduce him as their distant cousin. Who was going to verify?
