When Cordelia got home, she immediately asked Emina to arrange for a tailor.

Emina was a little surprised that Cordelia wanted to have a red dress tailored as soon as possible.

Ojou-sama, this is the first time that youve requested for a red dress, isnt it?

Yes.

But Im sure itll look nice on you.

Thanks.

She couldnt feel happy even though she was told it would look nice on her because of her complicated feelings.

Dark red gave off a strong and distinct impression, and it was also a suitable colour to wear for matches. And Emina was right, it was definitely a colour that suited Cordelia. After all, it was a colour that 『Cordelia』knew suited her very well.

But she still wanted to avoid it because in a way it was her 『burial clothes』.

(But if Shelley is convinced that Im the 『Cordelia in the red dress』, then Ill take up the gauntlet. And Im pretty sure I should put it on at least once as a way of bidding farewell to 『Cordelia』.)

She decided that she would face this head on.

She couldnt help but feel like she was losing the fight before it even started since she compromised.

Would it take a bit of time if I commissioned for it now?

Normally, yes.

I see

But as a matter of fact, Lindsey-sama, who has always been tailoring your dresses, has been making red dresses that fit you in her spare time, so Im sure that she can have them ready after shes made some adjustments and adds the finishing touches to them.

Huh? I dont think Ive ever paid for anything like that.

She did remember Lindsey recommending her red dresses a number of times, but she had always chosen a different colour each time.

Lindsey-sama likes to think of ideal dresses for people, so she makes them in hopes that the people, who she made them for, would wear them even if they dont order them. Im sure she would be delighted if you purchased it.

I, I see

Its just that even if youre satisfied with the dress, she might get new inspiration once you try it on and want to make small adjustments on the dress. But itll still be ready in time for the banquet.

Thats good. Thank you.

Cordelia had no way of knowing what evening party Shelley would attend, but she did know of one evening party that Shelley would attend without having to inquire.

That was the 『Stargazing Banquet』.

The Stargazing Banquet was hosted by the royal family; young men and women were invited to the banquet, and Cordelia also received an invitation to the banquet. Sylvester, who had just come of age, was this years host, and she had no reason to decline as long as she was in the royal capital and was depressed about this at first.

But there was no way she wouldnt take advantage of this period if she was going to face Shelley face on.

(If she takes the initiative to misbehave in order to recreate her dreams even at a banquet hosted by the royal family, then she will finally be completely obsessed with her dreams. Kids who misbehave must be reasoned with.)

Actually, all Shelley was doing was throwing her temper mostly at Cordelia. There were other parts of her personality that were like the in-game 『Cordelia』, but she hasnt acted as radical as 『Cordelia』yet.
