“It seems so, it’s an evening dress. Where is the Duchess planning to take you? I haven’t heard of her going out.”
I was supposed to be hiding in the Duke’s mansion.
Where could I possibly be going in such a splendid dress, even if accompanied by the Duchess?
I blinked once, but nothing changed. It was a shimmering silver dress. The top was made of satin, shining, and the slightly flared bottom sparkled like a moonlit lake.
The decorations along the side of the skirt were all blue. So, it was indeed a dress meant for me…
“There must be some mistake.”
As the maid continued to apply powder to my face, I stood up. I couldn’t wear such a resplendent dress without understanding why.
Just as I was about to go out to find Freddy, he entered the room.
“The Duchess has arrived.”
I froze in place.
“She’s coming here? Not me going to see her?”
“Yes.”
Before I could confirm again, the Duchess burst into the room. Unlike me in my half-done state with hair rollers, she was dressed in casual but extremely elegant indoor clothing.
“Your Grace.”
“Oh, you haven’t finished preparing yet. Forgive my rudeness for coming so hastily, Lienne.”
“It’s alright.”
“Oh, this dress.”
She saw the dress the maids were holding and smiled brightly. She kindly praised the dress to the maid she brought with her, saying, “Just as you said, the dress turned out very well.”
So that dress was indeed a gift from the Duchess to me.
“Lienne, the reason I asked to see you today is that I have a favor to ask.”
“A favor, Your Grace?”
“Today, there is a ball at the Enehaz Count’s estate.”
“A ball?”
“Yes.”
The Duchess’s calm voice brought order to the chaotic atmosphere.
“The Enehaz Count’s estate is about three to four hours away by carriage from here.”
I listened to her, wondering what this might mean for me.
“Ricardo left for the place two hours ago.”
“I see.”
“But today, Ricardo left the family’s handkerchief behind.”
“The family handkerchief?”
According to her explanation, there are a few rules for the annual ball held at the Enehaz Count’s estate.
The event is exclusively for adult nobility, and the men from each family must wear a handkerchief embroidered with their family’s crest on their chest.
“Leaving the handkerchief behind will surely be inconvenient for Ricardo.”
“Yes, it will be.”
It might be embarrassing for him for breaking the rule, but what did that have to do with me?
“That’s why I was hoping Lienne could deliver this to him.”
She smiled apologetically and extended the handkerchief, embroidered with the formidable lion crest of the Rochester family.
I couldn’t close my agape mouth as I stared at the handkerchief.
However, I didn’t ask something foolish like, ‘Does Ricardo truly need this handkerchief?’ It was unlikely that the heir to the Rochester family would be denied entry to the ball for not having his handkerchief.
Moreover, Ricardo had left the ducal residence two hours ago, and I had started this unusual preparation since morning.
So, the fact that he left without his family’s handkerchief meant that it had no particular significance to the situation I was now facing.
Yet, there was something I needed to ask.
