The rest of them must have been oversleeping.

For the three who usually have severe insomnia, Romeo gave them sleeping magic to get a good night's rest.

Oh yeah... they won't find a good friend like him.

'Anyway, these guys are blessed. To be friends with me.'

Romeo headed to Lelia's room, and smiled as he hummed cheerfully.

As he passed by, his charismatic smile made the maids blush, and they whispered among themselves.

Knock

At the sound of the knock, Lelia rubbed her eyes as if not awake yet, telling the person to come in.

Becky came in with a bright expression, followed by a line of people from the drawing room carrying luggage.

The owner of the dressing store greeted her politely.

"Lady, the dress samples I mentioned yesterday have been repaired and brought back."

"... Already?"

Apparently, they came yesterday afternoon and picked up a dress, but the swatch repairs have already been completed.

"Yes, yes. If you don't like the dress, we will have to get you a new one before the banquet. Besides banquet dresses, the Duke also requested a lot of extra clothes, such as everyday clothes! He told me to fit it for you."

The owner of the store seemed very ambitious and diligent.

Lelia didn't know how resolutely her grandfather had urged the seamstress, so she didn't expect this.

Lelia woke up sobbing in her hazy mood.

The servants made a small dressing room by placing a partition in the middle of the large room. That way, she can change clothes and they can check it on the spot.

When the workers left and only the female servants remained, Becky quickly picked up a dress and shoved it towards Lelia.

"Lady! How about this?"

"Huh... great."

To be honest, Lelia didn't have an eye for dresses. They all just looked pretty.

Even when she wore men's clothes in the capital, she tended to wear what someone gave her.

At Lelia's lukewarm reaction, Becky pouted her lips as if dissatisfied.

Just then, she heard the sound of someone knocking on the door again.

Lelia asked the person to come in and she went inside the dressing partition.

"Hey, did I come here when you are busy?"

It was Romeo who entered.

Romeo laughed awkwardly, as if he had not expected it at all.

"Fine. What's going on this early? Did something urgent happen?"

Lelia hadn't taken her clothes off yet, but she asked, with only her face peeking out from the partition.

She was worried that Kalix's condition had deteriorated overnight.

Romeo shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.

"Nothing... If it's okay, then excuse me."

Romeo hurried inside and closed the door. Then he came closer to her.

"You must have been choosing a banquet dress."

"Yes... I have to attend a banquet that her grandfather gives for her guests."
