Academy's Second Seat [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 214: Astria (6)

"......Hmm."

Yuni looked at her reflection in the mirror, taking in her attire.

"This looks good enough."

At Yuni's contented smile, those behind her exhaled sighs of relief.

"So, you'll go with this dress?"

"Yes, this one."

The maid observed Yuni intently.

The dress was more modest and cute than flashy, fitting for lower nobility young ladies.

It suited Yuni well, but it was vastly different from her usual attire.

Yuni typically wore more elaborate and mature-looking dresses.

Being younger than her rival, Rie, a contender for the Royal throne, she chose her dresses to not fall behind in appearance.

However, the dress Yuni now donned was more suitable for a young girl.

It was almost like casual wear and accentuated Yuni's cuteness.

Undoubtedly, this dress complemented Yuni much better than her usual choices.

Her personal maid cocked her head in puzzlement.

Yuni had always disliked such cute dresses.

Her every action and choice of clothing were influenced by Rie, aiming to match her.

What had prompted this change of heart?

Yuni seemed to be searching for clothes that showcased her at her best.

She moved around, examining her reflection in the mirror.

'She has changed a lot,' the maid thought.

Having been by Yuni's side since childhood, she had always noticed the smallest changes in her.

But never had she witnessed such a drastic transformation.

The harshness had left her eyes, replaced only by the innocence seen in her younger years.

Whatever had happened at the Academy, it was a positive change.

"Miss Yuni, I will add some accessories for you."

"Yes, pick something pretty."

"Certainly."

The maid chose a fitting accessory from those prepared and approached Yuni's hair.

"By the way, who are you meeting today?"

"A senior I met at the Academy. They've been very helpful, so I've decided to help them in return today."

The maid's eyes widened at Yuni's words.

Yuni never openly acknowledged receiving help due to her strong pride.

Yet, here she was, speaking so casually about it, which was surprising.

'This person must be the one who changed Miss Yuni....' the maid thought, smiling warmly.

Though she didn't know if the person was male or female, she believed they must be someone good.

Yuni wasn't easy to care for.

She always did as she pleased, never voicing her discomforts.

Being able to help Yuni meant understanding her well.

"Dressing up like this suggests..."

It was probably for a man.

If it were for another woman, Yuni would have preferred a more comfortable outfit instead of dressing up.
