The villainess reverses the hourglass

Untitled Part 46

Not surprisingly, all of their gifts were small jewelry or a music box. Aria smiled brightly, putting the hairpin on her head.

"Thank you all so much. I need to find a place for the music box in my room right away."

Actually, it was too simple and tacky, so Aria thought she should give it to Jessie.

The last one she opened was Sarah's gift. The surface of the box was sprinkled with fine gold powder, so she was a little excited. Perhaps, it might be the best of them all.

"It's..."

"Do you like it?"

There were a handkerchief and gloves in the box, all beautifully embroidered. Needless to say, the combination of beautiful flowers and fine embroidery surrounding the trim was fantastic.

'Was this really made by a human?'

She was speechless for a moment and couldn't react.

"I had a hard time adjusting the patterns."

Sarah took a handkerchief of the same pattern from her sleeve and smiled. Not one, but two. Indeed, it deserved to catch the eyes of the blunt, serious marquis.

"... It's more beautiful than I thought it would be. I don't know how to thank you."

"No, I'm sorry I couldn't prepare something better."

Aria responded with a distinctly different response, and the ladies became curious to see the handkerchief. Sarah showed them the handkerchief on behalf of Aria, who was still stunned.

The young ladies who saw the beautifully embroidered handkerchief reacted similarly to Aria. They didn't seem to know that Sarah could make such great embroidery.

"Isn't it God's work?"

"That's all I can think about."

"That's amazing."

Sarah replied shyly to their praise, "That's too much."

"That's not too much! This is such a treasure that you have to hand down from generation to generation!"

"Sure!"

"I hope many people will see it somewhere with an exhibition on embroidery."

"That makes sense! It's a work of art!"

Aria was a little offended when they said they would have an exhibition later on. If so, Sarah's skill, which only she had known of, would be shared with others.

Although she did not express her feelings, the number replies she gave diminished. After extensive praise for Sarah's embroidery, they soon changed subjects. Quite rightly, the dress Aria was wearing was the next target.

"By the way, Lady Aria's dress is very beautiful."

"That's right. It's a very nice color, and it's very stylish."

"Yes, the fur coat you were wearing was also luxurious and even looked soft. Where did you get it?"

Aria looked shy at their questions. That way, she would seem humble.

"I didn't buy it. I don't have that type of sense."

"Then, did you get it as a gift?"

"Yes. It was sent by my father, who went up to the North."

The young ladies nodded in agreement because there were not many fathers who sent gifts like those to their daughters. They also praised her for being pretty and looking good in them.
