The adornments that the employees had tenaciously insisted upon their lady was, to put it simply, beyond just dolling up. She now looked sadistically beautiful.
No matter how little Violet cared for her reputation, rumors about her were spread all throughout the aristocratic society. However, how many people would actually be pleased to hear such gossip about their master?
Through their efforts, they wanted to send the message loud and clear.
Our lady is so very very beautiful!
With the full support of the duke’s heir, the efforts to doll her up had been completed with the power of money and manpower had thus resulted in unmatched beauty.
Of course, this amount of adornment and beautification would also be done by other nobles. It’s just that, Violet’s beauty was simply otherworldly.
Looking in the mirror, Violet once again realized that she was a ‘villainess’.
The female lead was a simple but elegant beauty that would draw attention.
On the other hand, the splendid type of beauty that would overwhelm everyone else just by taking a glimpse of her was the exclusive appearance of the villainess.
“Whoa.”
Someone inadvertently voiced out their admiration. As Violet was looking down, her gaze drooping, the final piece of jewelry to complete the look was placed upon her neck.
The clothes that had been made by the young seamstress suited Violet very well.
Now, it’s time to go to war.

“Actually, that woman…”
That evening, the banquet began.
With splendid chandeliers illuminating all those that had gathered here tonight, all the attendees showed off their clothes and jewelry.
It was a place where one’s value is raised after cutting down someone else.
It’s of no exaggeration to say that all the news traveling from their word of mouth was false. And of course, there were quite a lot of stories being exchanged.
The banquet had officially begun in the evening, but those who liked starting the merriments as early as lunchtime had already been talking for a long time.
“Ahh, come to think of it, ‘that ducal lady’ is also attending the banquet this time.’
“That ducal lady?”
“Yes, yes. You must know about her too, Lady.”
“There are so many rumors surrounding her, but I wonder what she’s actually like…”
“I’ve heard everything there is that’s been talked about, but I don’t truly know how she is.”
“Right, there’s one particular story that’s come to mind. You know about it as well, right, Lady Lilac? About what happened between the Everett Duchy’s first and second daughter.”
“I heard that the second daughter went abroad to study.”
“Do you know about that too? That the second daughter’s blood…”
