Chapter 226
“I’m sorry. But carrying it yourself is the only way.”
“I have another appointment right now!”
Isella had planned to meet Zion immediately. Carynne, standing a step behind, watched as Isella and Madame Devinel’s voices grew louder, feeling a bit drained by the escalation.
Nonetheless, Isella got what she wanted. Even though Isella grumbled for now, that dress was certainly her favorite, and Countess Luce, who was short on money, was one of the few nobles who would welcome Isella warmly in that outfit. Isella would surely be satisfied with today’s choice.
The Luce Countdom’s townhouse had quite decent tulips in the garden. Were they blooming now? Perhaps Carynne could see them if she visited with Isella. Had she taken a step closer to being a friend today?
She had also thoroughly studied tulips. She could maintain a decent conversation. She clenched her fist.
“Then Carynne, you bring that over.”
“What, me?”
“Yes.”
“……”
…It seemed she was one step closer to being a maid rather than a friend.
