Chapter 78: A Trade?
"Lady Sylvia you look beautiful as always," Fayette Blanchet said for the 11th time today as she fixed the testing fabric around me, I just stood still as a statue, as she did her bidding.
"Is there perhaps any gold color? I want her to stand out tomorrow" Mother said observing the design, not feeling satisfied
"Oui Madame, I will try that right now," Fayette said rushing to another pile of fabric, Mother was really torturing the poor french woman, she has been like this just because I needed to look my best for the ball tomorrow evening, everything was upside down due to the numerous change of fabrics.
It has been 5 days since what happened between Cedric and me, we haven’t seen. According to Mother he has various meetings to attend to but I knew all too well what was really going on. I did as Mother told me, give him time and space, the rest of the days were lectures from Mother on how to act, dance, and present myself in society and according to mother society will be very present tomorrow evening, I mean it was the palace we are talking about... the palace, I have never been to a palace before but I knew what to expect was most likely the best I have ever since in society and I will be the meeting the Emperor.
"Mother I can’t stand anymore," I said, my legs feeling tired from all the standing since all tons of fabric were tested on me and still none was able to meet up with mother’s expectations, ugh!
"Endure my dear... we must find the perfect outfit for you... Olivia, how are the jewelry coming along?"
"They will be arriving this evening Madam" Olivia replied coursing, poor Olivia was stressed also with all the preparations, she probably hasn’t slept from all the errands Mother made her run.
I sighed, today was gonna be one hectic day... but I didn’t mind as long it would take my mind off Cedric for a while and get ready for this evening... yes this evening THIS every evening, I was going to get all the answers I need no matter what, whether I like it or not.
"How about this?" Fayette asked.
