Secret Wardrobe of the Duchess

Chapter 26

“We can do it. There are five skilled seamstresses including me in this mansion. If we work all night, we can do it. Please let us make the wedding dress you’ve always dreamed of.”

All of a sudden, Rubica realized why Rosa was doing it.

‘She is pitying me.’

Preparation time of only a day and only two witnesses. It was way too simple for a duke’s wedding. Ann and Rosa wanted her to at least be dressed in the wedding dress she wanted, and Rubica could see that.

“Thank you… so much.”

Rubica smiled to them, and that smile was warm enough to melt any frozen heart.

“Then please, draw the wedding dress of your dream.”

Ann believed she had gotten Rubica’s permission, so she pointed at the blank paper and asked.

Rubica stared at the white paper for some time.

‘… the wedding dress of my dream.’

In her last life, she hadn’t had any dowry at the age of 22. She had realized that she would never get to marry. Nevertheless, she sometimes imagined herself in a wedding dress.

A wedding dress made with the most expensive silk and decorated with flowers that were so beautiful that even nymphs from across the ocean would envy her.

However, after she came back in time and became 22 again, all her dreams about wedding dresses had vanished.
‘I don’t mind getting married in rags as long as it is Arman.’
However, she wasn’t getting married to Arman. Instead, she was about to marry Duke Claymore.

As it was a wedding with someone she didn’t want, she didn’t care about it at all. Whether it was simple or luxurious, it was none of her concern.

‘But…’

Looking at Ann and Rosa waiting with sparkling eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say she was fine to wear anything.

She didn’t want to throw away their kindness.

‘What should I do?’

Then, she recalled a dress. One that hadn’t had the chance to show its true beauty. She had felt sorry for it when she found it in the closet. It had a beautiful silhouette, but it had been ruined by some decoration that was in fashion but wasn’t right for it.

Rubica looked down at the cushion on her lap. The symbol of the Claymore that had been embroidered on its corners had been done by the family’s seamstresses. That skill level would be more than enough to find the dress’ beauty.

Yes, if a dress had to be made, I should find its lost beauty.
“Um, how about fixing a dress we already have…”

“Fixing?”

“But wouldn’t it be better to make a new one?”

“Please don’t worry about us. We will work all night if needed.”

Rubica found Ann and Rosa willing to do anything for her very strange. It was weird indeed. She had thought people of such a prestigious family would be as cold as ice. Duke Claymore was cold as ice, but Ann and Rosa were different.

“However, it would be a problem if you fail to finish it on time. Also, people tend to make mistakes when working all night. Um, Rosa, we don’t have any… professional designer now, do we?”

Rosa’s face turned red.
“It is fine, we have some basic patterns. We won’t be able to do any experimental design, but we would be able to make the dress you want.”
