“Indeed, I do. I have never failed to achieve something I’ve set my mind on in my entire life.”
[This is the time separator]While the villains at the palace were aiming to freeride on Ariadne’s glory, the villains at Cardinal de Mare’s mansion were quite honestly planning to undercut Ariadne’s glory.
“Is she getting her dress from Ragione?”
“Yes, I heard that Mrs. Marini from the Ragione tailor shop paid her a visit.”
“What confidence does she have?”
Beauty was created with money. The more money you poured, the brighter it shone.
It was beyond Isabella’s comprehension how a notsobeautiful girl was getting her debutante dress from a tailor shop, not even a couture house.
“You will be the most beautiful, miss.”
Isabella’s dress, which was being prepared at the Collegioni couture house, was being made from organza, a fabric of the Moore Empire, imported through the Porto merchants.
Thin, shiny, and delicate, organza was a type of silk that couldn’t be produced in Etruscan, where the weaving industry was still underdeveloped.
“I think so too.”
She said that, but Isabella chewed on her fingernails. She felt uneasy somewhere.
“Is there a surefire way to stand out more?”
At her mistress’s request, Maleta suggested a simple but surefire way.
“Should I spill wine on her dress on the day?”
Isabella was irritated by her maid’s shortsighted suggestion.
“Then it would be too obvious who did it! And she would look pitiful!”
After scolding Maleta, Isabella, as if she had a good idea, asked her a question.
“That’s right, you said you saw Ariadne wearing a ‘bosom pouch’, didn’t you?”
“I’m sure, miss. I saw the mountain girl carrying a laundry basket and doing the laundry regularly. If she doesn’t wear a ‘bosom pouch’, what would she use the calico for?”
Isabella had made up for her insufficient bust with a ‘bosom pouch’ and calico specially procured from the Moore Empire. That was Isabella’s biggest complex.
“It would be quite a sight if the ‘breast pouch’ slips at the ball, wouldn’t it?”
Isabella’s emerald eyes narrowed slightly. Maletta chimed in.
“When the whalebone loosens, cotton balls will pop out! It will be very obvious and ugly! Moreover, rumors will certainly spread in the social circles that she’s wearing such a wrong item as a ‘breast pouch’? She won’t be able to show her face, will she?”
In the social circles of San Carlo, a lady must be beautiful to receive praise, but she must be naturally pretty.
Excessive makeup or artificial alterations were frowned upon, and drew comparisons to the harlots of Caramban. Naturally, it dealt a fatal blow to the reputation of a lady of noble birth.
The ‘breast pouch’ was not known to the other ladies of San Carlo and was only secretly imported from the Moore Empire. Of course, if the usage was revealed, it would not be overlooked.
This was perfect for Isabella, who was trying to keep her halfsister, whose name was rapidly rising in the social circles even without her debut, in check.
Isabella’s narrowed eyes glowed ominously.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
