Chapter 17 — Days Before the Ball.
’...Oh my God...’
He... he was in my room... while I was sleeping...
’... Did... he– He didn’t do anything weird... did he...?’
No. No, he didn’t. At least he did not touch me. I can be sure he didn’t... I’ve always woken at the slightest touch. Maybe not to noises but if someone touches me, I always wake up instantly.
’He didn’t touch me... he didn’t.’
Did he watch me sleep...? Ouf! Let’s not think about it! Just stop! Good thoughts... good thoughts... he won’t be here for a while...
After convincing myself, I sat on my seat with the help of the Duke.
"Father... do you think brother will make it in time for The Ball..? Isn’t the Latrishk Kingdom far..?" — Said Theressa, with a worried look on her face acting all shy.
"Yes, Dear. He will arrive the day before The Ball. Since your dresses were tailored to your exact measurements, you don’t need to worry. Marianne, you too. Your dresses are going to be ready on time, so please be at ease." — The Duke said.
’Hm? They didn’t ask me about how I wanted my dresses?... Oh... Maybe they did with Marianne before I came???..... Well, it’s fine. I know nothing about the trending clothes here anyway.’ — I shrugged inwardly.
But... he said dresses? As in plural?...
