Mikhail stopped wiping his face with a towel that was dripping.

'Oh, fuck, she wouldn't do that.'

Then, he heard a knock on the door.

"Sir, today's schedule is to attend the Terence's family tea party."

"I know. I'll make sure I'm not late, so go out." Mikhail harshly replied to the servant who came to inform him of his schedule.

'A new lover? Nonsense. Radian*, he's talking bullshit like last time.' (tn: Radian is his cousin, the one from who started the rumor about Juvel and the cufflinks...) Mikhail, recalling the time when the rumors were made with the cufflinks, stared in the mirror. It was a slightly emaciated face, but it was still worth looking at.

'Today, that woman also sees me, and it's clear....'

Thinking so, Mikhail clenched his fist tightly.

On the day of the tea party, I went round and round wearing a dress tailored in the dressing room. With the cumbersome frill sleeves removed and replaced with short puff sleeves, it was certainly easier to move the arms. And reduced the breast exposure at the top of the stomach, which has always been a concern.

'Well, it's gonna be all right, right?'

There's a time when the fad changes greatly once. It was before and after the coming-of-age ceremony of Princess Beatrice, and the dress she wore at the ceremony was a dress that replaced the pannier used at the bottom of the skirt with a wider crinoline. And the clothes I wear now have a very different direction from the splendor that the princess pursued. The pannier made of whale beard was replaced with a petticoat made of several layers of fabric, and the sleeve length was reduced to a puff sleeve. It's just a slight improvement in the discomfort of the Rococo style.

'I'd like to wear more comfortable clothes if I wanted to, but now I'm going to be be an out-cast if I'm too out of the standard, so I'll wear what I want to wear after independence.'

I was thinking like that. Marilyn's voice broke my mind.

"My lady, someone is waiting." I nodded at the words pointing to Max.

"Okay. I'll be down soon." When I finished speaking, I quietly looked at the watch.

'You're coming an hour earlier than expected...'

It was a moment to admired his diligence.

"And this is the allowance that the master gave." I sighed at my father's surprise, which I had never thought of.

'I was wondering what to do if my allowance was cut off. That's good. But...'

If you threaten to give up your allowance and kick me out immediately, it will not be easy. To be honest, I couldn't understand Father.

'Ha, I have work to do today, so let's think about it later.'

I left the room with complicated ideas.

'He didn't come out looking weird, did he?'

It was when I went down the stairs thinking that. I admired the sight before my eyes.

'Wow.'

As if dressed up, the black hair, which had usually been disheveled, looked more refined today. And the clothes that I bought for you and the accessories that match well.

'He's a self-illuminated man, but it's not a joke.'

A handsome man who is literally going to turn his eyes to anyone can tell. As I stared blankly at the figure, I suddenly noticed something strange.
