Chapter 368
I enjoyed the little mutters and awkward conversations trying to lessen the imagination of the ladies. The duchess and Theressa stayed silent most of the time. Only once in a while granting short and polite answers with kind yet obviously fake smiles to not appear as such a pair of witches.
However, it was thanks to the Empress that the subject eventually ended after a little while.
Tranquil as if she was a guarded lake, the Emptess shut off any more of the comments the ladies exchanged, even commencing another topic so their interest would be picked. Which I will say... was awesome because it would still be a victory for me.
"My ladies, has it not been enough of these saddening matters? Let us truly continue... While you were conversing, I could not help but to fall more appreciative of the unique adornment the Ninth, Lady Pristina is currently wearing."
"Gasp! My! It is a joy I was not the only one curious about the piece. From a distance, I could reckon its centre is partially translucent, yet its inside appears to contain a flower... Am I correct?"
’Good eye... Quite the good eye you women have!’
Feeling even better after innocently exposing the duchess and Theressa, the time to advertise my product arrived next.
Explaining with the aid of the Princess, I told a romantic story to it so the women would find it more charming. All prepared in advance, of course, fufufu~
"Hmm... Lady Marianne says <<It was as I wanted a special gift to remain untouched that I decided to make a few of these accessories. Perhaps it is the side the First Empress Calla bestowed upon me as her Confidant... yet flowers are precious to myself. Decorating ourselves with their preserved beauty was a pleasant idea at the time for I was also protecting its significance. >>"
"!! The First Empress indeed was a lover of the delicate flowers."
