That morning, Lelia changed her hair and eye colors using the items from the "Alchemy Lottery" game.

Originally it was silver, but now her hair was a light pink and shorter. Also, her olive eyes were changed to a light brown.

Lelia looked in the mirror and was relieved.

Although she was slender in size, she looked like a frail handsome boy who she thought looked like a man.

Kalix's gaze also turned to Lelia.

He had a rather puzzled look on his face.

That was because when Lelia was dressed as a man she really looked like Leo.

'They must be real cousins.'

Romeo thought the same thing, but he glanced at Lelia in wonder. In the awkward air, Kalix and Romeo began to exchange wordless conversations.

Lelia turned her eyes to above Romeo's head.

[We've had a lot of encouraging moments, but....]

The figure that was [-200] was already up to [-59].

If it switches to the positive, she will be able to proceed with the quest like Kalix's.

Knock, knock

Romeo went to check on the sudden knock on the door.

A servant bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty would like to invite you to dinner tonight since he heard that you have a guest here. I'll pick you up at the appointed time."

"I see..."

Romeo nodded and the servant left with a smile.

When the door closed, Lelia was furious.

"Why did you accept a dinner invitation?"

The emperor will surely be there, as well as Julianna, Cedric and Damian. She thought she might run into them since she entered the Imperial Castle, but this was too sudden.

Lelia felt uneasy, Romeo attempted to calm her down and said.

"Don't worry, the two of us will go to dinner without you, so you will be here alone. I can tell them you need to sleep because you weren't feeling well."

"......!"

When Lelia blinked, Romeo grinned.

As Romeo said, it was a great opportunity.

At least she won't see Emperor Perseus in the cabin again.

"How do you like this dress, your Highness?"

At Princess Julianna's room, the ladies were busily picking out dresses.

"No, the yellow dress looks better on her."

"Isn't that dress too childish?"

"What are you talking about? It'll look good on her."

Listening to the ladies, Julianna carefully chose her dress.

The newly hired ladies-in-waiting for Princess Julianna were all noble daughters. That is because the emperor himself ordered new women to be hired to care for Julianna properly.

"I'll just take this dress."

Julianna chose the yellow dress that the Countess had chosen for her.

As the Countess smiled proudly, the rest of the ladies glanced at her enviously.

The ladies helped Julianna change her dress with great gentleness. Julianna relished the hands of the ladies who were grooming her, recalling Ruth's face in her head.
