“I overheard the ladies talking while passing by the inner palace a few days ago…”

I trailed off, glancing at Floria cautiously. Hesitating and fiddling with my lips, Floria leaned forward and took my hand.

“Feel free to speak, sister.”

“…Your Highness, may I ask what color dress you’ve chosen?”

“Yellow.”

I swallowed a sigh, and Floria asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

She seemed displeased with my hesitation, her lips tightening. Believing I had created enough suspense, I continued, “It seemed like the ladies were planning to wear blue dresses.”

“What?”

Floria’s expression crumpled, confusion apparent.

There was a tradition in the kingdom where returning knights were greeted by their lovers and families with scarves. Blue scarves symbolized victory for those returning from war, while yellow scarves were buried with the coffins of those unfortunate enough to perish in battle.

Floria was aware of this custom. However, being in a vulnerable position, she couldn’t ignore the words of the royal ladies. She hadn’t anticipated such a petty scheme to trap her.

In the original story, Shanah changed Floria’s dress color at the last minute with magic. But this time, I had taken the initiative, so the ladies wouldn’t get the scene they desired.

“It seems the ladies are planning a mean prank on you.”

“That’s…”

Floria’s hand, holding the teacup, trembled. To others, it might seem like her frail heart was shocked, but it was actually anger over almost being made a fool.

“Are you alright, Your Highness?”

I asked worriedly. Floria trembled her lips and shook her head.

“I’m fine. I almost committed a faux pas towards the returning First Prince and his knights.”

“It’s awful how they planned such a petty joke. How could they think of something like that?”

“I knew they didn’t favor me, but to go to such lengths… It hurts every time something like this happens.”

Floria dabbed her eyes with a finger. I looked at her sympathetically and took her hand.

“Don’t be upset over such people. I’m here with you.”

“Thank you, sister. Thanks to you, we avoided spoiling the atmosphere of the banquet.”

“I’ll call the salon immediately,” Shanah interjected, having been silently listening. In the original story, due to urgency, she had used magic to change the dress, keeping her fairy identity a secret. Now she suggested calling the salon to avoid suspicion. But this time, the credit had to be mine.

“That won’t be necessary. The blue silk used for the dresses is already scarce, and the ladies must have bought it all.”

“That’s not a concern but…”

“How about this instead?”

I cut off Shanah and leaned in closer. Her expression twisted slightly.

“What do you suggest?”

I smiled at Floria’s curious gaze.

“Wear a white dress.”

“But then I’ll stand out among the ladies in blue dresses.”

It would be like declaring her isolation from the royal circle. She wondered why she should do that. I grinned.

“That’s the point. People at the banquet will wonder why you’re the only one in a different color. They’ll guess that the ladies didn’t inform you about the dress code. They might not realize they suggested you wear yellow, but…”

“Ah.”
“Your Highness, since you have such a good reputation, the arrow will definitely turn back on those petty ladies. Unlike yellow, white carries a meaning of celebration, so no one will think oddly of you.”

In the original story, Floria avoided the embarrassment of wearing the wrong color dress thanks to Shanah’s magic, but that was all. I intended to use this incident to strengthen her position. If Floria became fond of me, my chances of surviving here would increase.

“Your Highness’s public opinion will only improve.”

Commonly, those who lack awareness get ignored, and those who bully others receive harsh scrutiny, but the sight of a good person being bullied evokes sympathy and compassion. For the well-regarded Floria, this was an opportunity to solidify her standing.

Floria seemed intrigued but feigned hesitation in her voice.

“If this backfires and the ladies get hurt…”

“Your Highness, they started the fight. If I hadn’t overheard by chance, imagine the embarrassment you could have faced. Just thinking about it frightens me. The Queen would have been greatly disappointed too.”

Mentioning the Queen made Floria’s eyebrows twitch.

“Although it pains me to see Your Highness hesitate, if we let this go, a similar incident might happen again. Next time, we might not be so lucky.”

I took her hand, pretending to be a concerned sister.

“This is advice out of concern, so please, just this once, heed my words.”

“Alright. Since you insist so…”

“And perhaps to prevent the ladies from finding a reason to complain later, why not spread a rumor that I tore up the yellow dress you had prepared?”

“What? But how can I…”

“Don’t worry about me. For Your Highness, I can bear any stigma.”

See, I’m useful, right? I smiled brightly.

Leaving Floria’s room, I was met by Sylvia, who rushed over to me.

“Are you okay, Reneola?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”
